    sure thats possible

    but why would they bother

    rubbish answers are still absolutely clear to most people even if they have been ranked "best answer"

    Any top answerer over 30% best answers is a scam.

    I used to be #7 TOP ANSWERER in philosophy with a 9% BA rate. Me and Don were the only legit ones then. Now Don (who used to have 24% until he became #1,? and Nameless One are the only legit Top Answerers.

    The evil genious thinks that way . and want's to conquer the earth . the rest of us rely on superman , he can leap buildings with a single bound he can bend steel bars with his bare hands , he's faster then a locomotive . bullets bounce off his cheast , but he comes off as a bumbling clutz who would never rob a bank though it would be a snap . he works as a mild mannered news paper reporter . and is polite and helpfull , he'd never do anything like that , it's benieth him .

    Some people cheat, for sure. I was reading Yahoo's rules recently and it seems to me they identify that and prohibit it - but in my experience, Yahoo doesn't give a flick of the fingertips what happens in YA.

    Wow, I never even thought about that. I would like to think people are making better use of their time than rating themselves best :)

    dvd, we already know that. Isn't it obvious? We all know who gives consistently good answers. Some of those people with ridiculously high scores have never made a name for themselves with their replies. The proof is in the pudding sweetie.

    There's no doubt in my mind that there are many ppl w/ multiple accts giving themselves best answer.

    No mystery, it probably happens all the time.
