What if the answer voted by the voters in "YAHOO ANSWERS" a wrong answer but still gets 100% vote?
Suppose I ask a question in "YAHOO ANSWERS" and I put that question in voting. Assume that question has been answered by only one person. Answer given by that person gets 100% vote as the best answer. But in reality that answer given by the person is not the correct answer. Does the "YAHOO COMMUNITY" take care that incorrect answer(which gets 100% vote in YAHOO ANSWERS VOTING) is not selected as the best answer and keep the question as "UNRESOLVED QUESTION" instead of "RESOLVED QUESTION"?

Most voters probably do not know the answer to the question and if there is only one answer they will vote for that one.
Often even with more answers the voters don' really care and you will often see a totally inane answer win the vote because enough voters thought it was the funniest.
Tip
Always select a Best Answer for your own, as sooner or later someone will be voted as the best answer and you will get ticked off as it was totally inane, not even attempt to answer the question wins because it was funny.
The other drawback as if several answers all get only 1 vote they will end up as tiebreakers, and they will sit them on you list of unresolved questions and they can stay tied up for years.
There are millions like that.
So pick anyone as the BA.

When there is only one answer, most will vote for it just because the person tried, even if wrong. Also, you only get the point for voting if you pick an answer and not picking "no best answer". Remember, it is BEST answer, not CORRECT answer. If you see an answer with 100% and only one vote, it was probably the answerer that did the vote.
Also, there is no "unresolved" status. Once it goes to vote, nothing can be changed except for picking the best answer.

i don't experience it may be an analogous right here to do away with balloting yet i like the assumption of proscribing balloting by way of attempting for the standards in ordinary terms by employing many. i've got self belief nevertheless that making somebody %. a perfect answer isn't perfect interior the asker's view with the replies given. specifically circumstances there is in ordinary terms one respond or none , then the balloting technique can't quite prepare there it sort of feels. I agree the balloting may be out of control at cases. i've got self belief that's an astonishing ingredient to attempt to alter that. i've got self belief that putting a cut back for balloting on each and each question is efficient, like 3 votes consistent with question. BTW~How can somebody use greater effective than one account right here? that should be constrained to one account consistent with person at right here for greater precise totals interior the balloting.
