What value (if any) do you place on your Best Answer percentage?

Well,it means at least 11% of the people agree with me.That means perhaps I've helped a few people.And that's okay by me.

ZERO.

It simply shows what percent of the answers you have offered were selected by the Asker to be Best, which is completely silly. They just choose the answer that they wanted to hear or select the Answerer that they like the best.

It seems that the effort an Answerer put in to provide an accurate and comprehensive answer has no value, and so the percentage of answers that are chosen has no value either.

It is too bad too. Before the “upgrade”, everyone got a vote, and typically the most accurate answer, the one the Answerer put the most thought into, the answer that was the most comprehensive, was voted for by the highest number of members.

Now, the one word answer provided by the Askers favorite Answerer is chosen as Best.

I used to take some weird perverse pleasure in it. Then they changed the format and it dropped 11 points almost immediately. So, I'd say that I'm over it but I have realized that I barely hit this site anymore. It was a little piece of tangible positive reinforcement I guess.

I am not willing to resort to trying to give the questioner only what they want to here to get it back though.

~~~ Means nothing!

Even less as the voting feedback is now gone!

It used to mean something to me

as I was competing with myself at one stage

and it seemed validating when I was casting about for things

to interest me, and something to put my mind to;

but now I`m less antsy about it.

It is what it is. It actually means nothing. Can't spend it, can't eat it, can't do anything with it.

None

none, i dislike this site. you put up a question and nobody answers it.
