  • The watchword of some individuals is 'moderation in all things'. Maybe Answerbag's multiplicity of categories is their happy hunting ground for things to moderate and garner points from. I think there are lots of motives for being here, not necessarily anything to do with points. Most of them hover around need for company and human interaction - some, perhaps specifically at arms length, some are curious about what makes people tick, some are searching for information or guidance through the experiences of others. Basically, I suggest that positive motivation far outweighs the bad. Any rat-bags or mental defectives who find Answerbag probably don't linger long. The attention span of types like that is probably nothing to write home about either. There is a chance to make a small contribution here, raise a smile or two perhaps, impart some useful information, gather some for yourself, that's the attraction.
  • There was one person who made Maestro and never answered a question or gave an answer to a question but I think it was just the one person.
  • yes, probably there are or were some. They usually get bored and move on, or start answering questions, since they just can't help themselves.
  • Or lack thereof ; )
  • Suprises the devil out of me. I have less than 100 moderation points and got to level 55 so far since March 9, 08. I'm more interested in answering questions since I don't ask very many and don't have that many points for asking either.
  • I knew of an ABer who gained most of his points that way. I was told he was PB'ed once for too many rejected flags. I don't believe that ABer is still active.
  • Oh, I'm sure of it. Maybe that's something that should be capped before it gets abused.
  • There have been a couple of people like that. One had only a 2-3,000 points in answers but over 40,000 in moderation. We never saw him on here, just his going up the leaderboard. But he hasn't been back in almost a year now.
  • Some people get most of there points from moderaton, you can just type in curses in the top box...not that i do that
  • Yeah, how sad. =(
