When choosing "Best Answer"?

Do you give it to the answer that is most helpful, one that made you laugh, or the answer that is from your favourite contact?

Yes! I know it happens! I know you're all conspiring against me! ¬_¬

I'm watching you

    Always to the one that makes me giggle most...its only fair!!..I do know a few that go around in a certain group who only give best answers to their best little mates...I dont bother with them anymore...not worth my time or trouble.

    It depends on the type of question asked.

    If I ask a serious question I am looking for a serious, helpful answer.

    If I ask a casual question out of curiosity, I may pick the answer that made me laugh.

    If I ask a goofy question expecting goofy answers, usually my contacts know this and will give an answer that makes me laugh, thus being helpful by bringing me laughter. All of my contacts are my favorites!

    The one that is most helpful and makes me laugh. It doesn't take much to make me laugh, ;).

    "Yes! I know it happens! I know you're all conspiring against me! ¬_¬

    I'm watching you"

    ^^That made me laugh, lol.

  • Depends on the question. I usually ask stupid questions so I look for funny answers. And I add funny people as my contacts, and my contacts always answer my questions so I have to say they do get a lot of my Best Answers!

    But I am quite fair, I do still pick other answers :)

    In the polls and surveys category i usually choose a contact for a best answer. For a question not a poll/survey (therefore not in the p&s section) i usually choose the most helpfull.

    In p&s if someone makes me laugh then they get it tho.

    I choose the answer that is most helpful, sometimes if it's really funny and true to the question. I dont' give best answer to someone unless it is deserved.

    a bit of all of them really but usually the one that is answering the question the best/most helpful but some funny ones do win me over sometimes

    I give it to the one that is most comprehensive, most useful and unjudgemental with their answer. If there are any I can't decide between (say, between two or three answers) then I use correct spelling as a tiebreaker.

    Source(s): That reminds me, need to check up on my questions.....
