ANSWERS: 36
-
yes, though not without reading them first.
-
Yes. Being someone who has difficulty thinking of any good questions that haven't already been asked, I feel that those who are able to come up with new questions should be rewarded.
-
Lol I see you got some random pointage--but I try to not make my uprating "random"--If a question looks useful and well-thought, but I don't have the answer, I'll +++ it up. Same goes for answers that I like.
-
Only if the question has merit and I can't think of a useful of helpful answer. Also I don't like to answer someone "new" question just to say "good question, but I have no idea" - because then it gets lost to the bottom of the ANSWERBAG and no one likes that.
-
No , I sure don't though I give top points when I give points , which is a whole lot
-
No. I only rate and answer questions that interest me and that I answer.
-
Yes, sometimes I'm just content to hang out and "listen". I do that when I'm with people in real life too. I'm a little quiet but when I like what someone's saying I give points.
-
If I think the question or answer deserves a better rating.
-
Random? Like for no good or bad reason? No, because that would make the rating system meaningless. I rate questions and answers as to how good they are, how usefyl they are, how much effort I think the person went through, or how much I enjoyed it or found it interested me. I know it's only my opinion but I would hope it would count for something.
-
No, I only give points to things that I think deserve them.
-
Only if I want to know the answer ....since I can't answer it I give points for a good question.
-
Not randomly. If I think it's a good question, I give it points regardless of whether or not I answer it.
-
No. I give points to questions I answer.
-
No, If I answer a question then I will give points.
-
No, I only give points to questions and answers that I think deserve them. Maybe on my birthday I will do that to give everyone my 'gift of points'.
-
Yes... I have done that.
-
Sometimes I do especially if I see there is a long string of zeros, then I feel like randomly doling out +5's just for the heck of it.
-
yes 'but only if its a good question.
-
Yep. I love to positroll, and I love finding new people to point as I enjoy their content, as well as the regulars that I love to read. :)
-
Positroll? Hell yes.
-
Absolutely, better to give then receive!
-
One of my favorite ways to monkey around;)
-
yes I give many points every day I am on here.
-
Yes, I positroll all the time. Positrolling isn't just indiscriminately giving points. It's picking a user you really like and/or respect and going through and reading their answers and questions and pointing the ones you like.
-
I am not here often but yes I give points to answers I like.
-
I have played "points fairy" many times on AB. I do it sometimes to help people fix their negative downrates from trolls. I also do it when somebody needs 100 points to make their next level. I also try to help newbies by giving them a boost.
-
*BING*+++++
-
depends on what's been said
-
Sometimes. Or I will do the same in a category as well. But mostly I like to select good questions and answer them, rating the good answers as I go.
-
Only after I've read the Q/A.
-
yep! +5 to you!
-
Yes, I'm a habitual point fairy :)
-
No, as I feel the points aren't for the people necessarily, they are for the quality of the answers or questions. If I just willy nilly gave points, I have no idea what I am uprating. I'd rather do it for a good reason.
-
All the time... being nice is what AB should be about
-
Depends on the question. On questions where there is a definite right or wrong answer, I will give points to the answer that is the most accurate. On matters of opinion such as politics where I have a perspective that seems true to me and I believe there is some data making one view probably more true than another, I give points to the opinion that most reflects my views, even though I might be wrong. On questions where there is no right and wrong answer such as questions asking what you did today, I give everybody points right before I answer. Gives me the lowest answer sometimes but that's how I roll.
-
Yes, but not often. Usually I would only give points to the questions I answered.
