Do you ever... uprate someones answer, even if it beats you at top answer? For instance, if you're tied for top answer with someone else, and you rating that person will send them above your answer...? Does that make sense?

Makes perfect sense. Do it all the time.
-
Yeah I do. Getting the top answer doesn't matter to me at all. It's enough that I was able to answer the question, and got some points for it.
-
Being the top answer is not important to me. I have rated answers from other users many, many times and as a result, it bumped mine down. When I answer, I can only give the best answer I know how to give. If it deserves to be the top answer, then others will let me know with their ratings.

I dole out points for anything that is good. If I had a bad answer, I surely would want to reward a better answer than mine. I may have tried but apparently it wasn't good enough. It shouldn't be a competition here.
-
If it is a good answer I give it points just like I would if we were the 99th and 100th to answer.
-
Yes ! I have done that . I've read someone else's answer and thought to myself, "Damn That Was A Good One" and I'll rate them up accordingly.
-
I just go through questions and give UR to every answer I feel is helpful. I never even noticed that it might put someone about me. Hmmmmm.
-
Many the time my question is given less points than the answers that follows. That means more to me than the points. I rather have responses, intelligent and/or fun ones, than no responses at all. That part bothers me. Not the less or no points.
-
Yes it makes sense. It pushes (just a little bit) in the directions that interest you personally. The board evolves through the ratings. The rule-makers load the petri dishes... and then we bacteria compete...
