After reading a few Questions, I see that the people answering gave the Questioner points but they got NO points back. What would it take to remind you to give your Answerers the points they deserve (If you almost ALWAYS give points, please don't answer.)

This site isn't just about points...Just because you answer a question doesn't mean you deserve points anyways.

I don't know. I ALWAYS give points of varying amounts to those that answer my questions. If I haven't, it's because I did not get a notice that someone answered.

Nothing. In time they shall learn that it is proper bagiquette to points the answerer. There are some people who do not believe in points. Some of them comment but do not points, some of them do nothing. If I find one who does nothing routinely I do not bother myself answering their questions. If I find an asker who does not points but leaves excellent comments along with asking questions that I enjoy I seek out their questions. I love a good comment more than I do points. I almost always give points for questions I answer and answers to my questions. Occasionally I miss an answer completely because my answer/comment light is a bit fubared right now and I catch them later. I also do not points answers that take no thought or just give them one or two points. The only time I points down an answer is if they are rude to me. I do not points down answers that disagree with me just because they disagree with me. Oh, for the record, a few times I KNOW that I points something and, if I go back later, it shows that I have not points them. It is some kind of AB glitch.

No one deserves anything. Who cares about the points?

I know you say for people that always do, not to answer, but this caught my attention. I don't mind not being given points for an answer. But I do mind if I don't get some sort of indication that my answer was even read. Just a simple thanks in a comment would suffice. I can understand for those questions that have like, 200 answers and such, because that's a lot of work! But I always give some sort of feedback to my answerers, except when I'm not here. :) Good question. ++++

You, as questioner or answerer, should only give points if you think the answer or question deserved points. This is not a pre-school birthday party where every body gets a present even the attendees, otherwise ya might damage sumbudies self esteem. This is the real world, no wait this a virtual E-world. You won't down rate me for my error will ya? I mean I know my answer was wrong but I really want the points cause it means that I will... uh.. I can... that is , with the points I get here I can g... OK If you give me some points I will give you some, even if your next answer or question is way stoopid. But then you gotta give me some on my next one. OK?

If I see I have an answer (all one that I have so far) I'll rate it if it is a valid attempt at answerng my question or if it's funny

To be honest, when I first started on AB, I was kind of like that. I didn't give points much unless the answers I received were significant. This doesn't really answer your question Irahyn, it's more of a thank you, because after I became your AB friend I noticed how you always uprated me for trying and giving an effort in answering even if my answers weren't really good...I was very touched by your kindness, and now I almost always give points to my answerers.

I know I didn't have to answer this because I always try to give points to all answers I receive. But it's not against the rules, is it? ;) Well, I notice that there are some users here who keep on posting questions, and they don't give points and don't post comments. I think if they are stingy when it comes to giving points, then fine. But I think they should at least recognize the answers by posting comments. It seems to me that such questioners are only after the points and not the answers. What can we do? Nothing. We can't force the questioner to give us points. But I still answer the questions posted by such users because I love answering questions, and because I know some appreciative souls will uprate them :)

Why not just give points automatically? I think mostly it gets to be a matter of habit when people don't.
