    Everyone gets a positive, it might take time for me to get to everyone. The only time I don't is if their answer has nothing to do with my question.

    I do, unless it is spam/offensive or I do not get an alert anymore to tell me (which has happened)

    If I ask an opinion question, I rate everyone up. If it's a factual question, I rate up everyone that answered correctly and fully. I'm all for being chummy but I can't see giving a wrong answer a positive rating. The thing I don't do is rate answers down.

    Sometimes I do.

    I also tend to mark up anyone who has been marked down for a question or honest answer.

    Yeah, I do most of the time. When I can't, in good conscience, uprate a serious answer with max points, I'll either leave a comment thanking the person for his/her efforts, explaining why I left the answer unrated OR I'll simply give the answer two or three points and move on.

    I ignore replies like, "I don't know" or "Yes, someone can tell you that" because they're not helpful.

    I also do my friend to show my appreciation for their given time. Except if offensive. There are boundaries.

    When I ask a Question I read and rate every answer and always keep going back to check to make sure that later answers have not slipped through.

    I will always rate anyone who has taken the time to answer my question, unless, of course, they are being insulting or abusive. In that instance i would probably rate them down or ignore them completely. Thanks for asking this question! +2

    If their anwser was helpful or they seemed serious about it and took time to try to answer it, yes, I always give points. If they didn't answer it or if they were rude to some of the other answerers, then I might ignore them. I never give negatives for answering a question.

    Not if it's stupidity-trolls. Otherwise, usually yes.

    I give a thumbs up if it's a good response, is that the same thing?

    If you mean you click like for everything, I think that's kinda lame because it affects other people's answer list orders, which then wind up with BS higher up the page.
    If you really feel an answer is worth special feedback, you could write something to them, on the same page or privately, without clicking like.

    I try very hard to positively rate everyone who answers my questions (all three or you) and to give some comment. If someone answers in a very offensive way I will usually just not rate them at all and not give them a negative rating.

    I always rate positive, if I agree with the answer or not, Its great somone took the time to answer me and its the least I can do. If I disagree, I leave a comment, but still a positive rateing.

    no, I usually rate everyone who took the time to answer the question, but I have a gotten a few (very few) offensive answers or answers that did not answer the question even in a joking way. I flag the offensive ones and simply do not give or take points from the pointless answers. Otherwise, I give out points like candy, whether the person has the same opinion or not. If someone answers a question incorrectly I still give them a point or two for taking the time to answer, and leave a comment pointing out that I suspect their answer in incorrect.

    Yes, I give points as a "thank you" for taking the time to answer my question. If it was offensive I wouldn't, but fortunately I haven't run across that yet.

    Since they took the time to answer, yes I do. Even if the answer doesn't really answer the question, and is meant to only be funny.

    Selective pointing makes future answer lists more fun to look through, which is what the points are for. I can appreciate all answers equally while grading content separately.
