Just curious : ~ Can points be awarded automatically? I've several times had points given for an answer I've barely posted .. like in nano-seconds of posting an answer ... Cant see how it possible manually that's all.

Nope... Points aren't awarded "automatically".

There's a "Newly Arrived" link on the home page. When you hit ENTER, and the question or answer is added to the DB, it appears on the home page and there. That gives some fast readers time to read it and rate it, though they won't always answer questions that quickly.

For answers only, all it takes is for the questioner to refresh the page just after you posted the answer, and many questioners "automatically" give points to answerers.

These probably occur while you're still waiting for the Thank You page to show up.

How come when people answer questions you can only give them a few points? there's been times I would like to give more points for the better answers.

Do you ever answer a question where the asker has left no one any points? I often just give everyone points just for effort. I admitt that usually I dont read all the answers that I have given points for. Anyone else do the same thing?

Obviously I am new here. I give points to people who answer my questions. Its like a ty for thier time. I also do it if i find thier Questions Interesting. what is the criteria for you to give points to others? I am very curious to hear.

I didn't realize that anyone could give points to a question, even if they weren't originally involved. Call me stupid, duh. So I can give points to answers I don't have questions for? I don't ask much, just answer and laugh. Who wants points?

If you see a good answer that you like, can you please remember to give points? I've gotten alot of excellent answers to my questions from people and I've been the only one to rate them. It does help.
