Generally, if I care enough to answer a question, I always give full points. The exception to that, is if I am answering merely to point out some common sense issue (i.e. I am bleeding severely, and my arm is almost hanging off, what do you think could be wrong with me?). I think a good question is one that is thought out, not a duplicate and one that provokes thought.
-
The majority of the time, if I answer a question, I will give it points, unless it's someone who's railing against society or another ABer. I usually forget until someone comments (even just a thanks or a smiley) or gives me points, so I usually give them when I return to see what was said, or how many points the answer has. Now and then I will see a really good question that I won't know the answer to, or won't try to answer, and I will simply give it points.
-
I never give points to a question. What I consider "bad" may be useful to someone else. I only rate answers.
-
I think if someone takes the time to answer any question, whether or not I agree with it (unless they say something really unnecessary) they deserve points.
-
A good/funny question or answer. =)
-
If it sounds like there opinion and its truthful. Sometimes I give points if it makes me chuckle.
-
A reasonable, logical, common sense answer to a question. You can tell if a person has no knowledge of the question, just by reading their answer. Its a waste of time and computer space. I base points on the content and familiarity of the answer to the question. Also, a good-looking avatar does not hurt.
-
whenever it makes me laugh. I just need that chuckle.
-
If it's a friend's question or answer (yes, I save my points for friends), if I'm answering a decent question with no points or if I'm commenting a decent answer with no points.
-
When I see a good question or answer. Or when someone makes me snicker :)
-
Seeing it.
-
I give almost all questions i see points, unless: 1) its not a question 2) its completely stupid 3) its ferociously offensive But thats far and few between ^_^
-
If it makes you think
-
Nothing makes me give points, I do it because I want to.
-
I always give points when I answer a question.(Unless it's something offensive).
-
I think if they take the time to answer my question then out of respect I will give them points...Now if they answer it correctly and the best way possible I will give them the highest points possible:)
-
I rarely DON'T give points yo...
-
A simple answer to a simple question.
-
Pretty much, any question that provokes a response from me I consider worthy of getting my points. Some questions I see, I can't answer but are great questions and I'll point them without opening the question.
-
Tons and tons of questions here. But some jump out as "good questions" ... if/when ... 1) Was lucky enough to see it as I was browsing main page or category area or friend's answers to questions or whatever. Can't point a question I didn't see! (Another reason why I'd like to see them "circulate" more so they don't get buried ..) 2) Questions I decided to answer because they interest me (make me think, feel, laugh ..), I'll always point. 3) Lots of great questions out there I happen to see, but don't have an answer for, but point the question. In general - think it's as important to give points to a great question as it is to give points to a good answer. Both are strong contributions to AB and benefit all of us.
-
If I take the time to read a question through I will generally give it points, even if I do not have an answer. I may even click on the question and give most if not all of the answers points.
-
if I answer it
-
i didnt have my glasses on to hit the down rate, so my blurry vision gave you the up rate.
-
If I think it was a good question that provoked thought.

This site is about having F-U-N! FUN! "The Golden Rule" should apply: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I award points for asking intelligent Qs. In my opinion this site IS NOT for asking others to do any homework! A bad Q is one which invades others' personal space. A bad Q is insulting or degrading.. It spews and wreaks of filth. A bad Q is preceeded by spam. I award points for providing intelligent, knowledgeable answers. Thanks for asking your Q! I did my best to answer it. I hope the information helps.

I give points to all those questions that i answer unless they are rude or wrong/-
-
For me, a good question is mostly a question where I would like to know the answer. So either I give myself an answer, or I consider that I cannot give more interesting information that what has already been said. And sometimes, I prefer not to say anything because I really don't have the slightest idea. In the case where I answer the question I mostly wait for some feedback from the asker before I give points to the question. The reason is that I they show no interest in the answer, they don't deserve more than the already given answer.
-
If it goes with the question, and oly downrate or spam if cursing starts.
-
If a question captures my attention enough to get me to answer it, I give it all my points. If it is an interesting question and I don't answer it because I don't know the answer, I give that points too.
-
a good question to me seeks information, does not state own opinion, does not single anyone out, does not bait for negative response, is a complete sentence and the spelling and grammar are at the very least close to perfect. These are the ones I try to open and respond to. If I respond I always award up-rates because to me it is worthy of up-rates if it is worthy of an answer from me. I do not open questions I do not intend to answer and I will not down-rate a question or an answer as I believe zero rates are good enough and negative rates just shows hatred.
