Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

Isnt this taking stating the obvious a little too far?



Note.. I will be giving 10 points for the best answer unless my pc breaks down and I cant get back on here. If I win a holiday abroad then perhaps I may not award best answer either and of course, if I meet with an unfortunate accident you may also miss out. Otherwise...10 points best answer!!!

Its like flour packets saying "Fat free!"



Duh, its always been fat free.



But people fall for that and think they're gaining something special.



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

they just want to catch peoples attention



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

They only want to attract more attention to their questions?



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

i know its lame



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

they want to flaunt their extensive knowledge of YAnswers?



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

hahahhah. so true.



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

Because it attracts more people to answer.



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

I think it it because they want people to answer there question, to be honest I dont answer those questions.



They prob just childish people



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

They probably do it because they want someone to answer their question. I have a tendency of doing it for that reason. LOL i don't know why..



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

idk?



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

well this question got my attention for the same reason,but yes i know what you mean,just another way of selling your question



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

Who Care's, I've got my 2 points for this. Thanks.



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

They either want attention or want people to answer their question.They might be desperate so they want an answer really quick.



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

Suddenly? It's been happening for a long time. But a lot of people do not choose the best answer. OK so it's decided by voting but there are some people with multiple accounts who will vote for themselves as best answer even when it is something like: "Sorry, I don't know." "10 points for best answer" suggests that the questioner is going to make the effort to choose the best answer himself, which might make more people likely to answer.



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

Yes, it DOES get on my useless male mammary glands whenever people say that rubbish - half the time those that say it don't even bother to pick a best answer anyway ! ! !



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

well...they enjoy having others attention...thats it. i don't see any other reason...!!!



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

Desperate, I'm more apt to answer if they award 11 points for best answer....after all if it's best shouldn't at least the asker give it a thumbs up?



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

They are all attempting to cut out the middle man. Everybody is trying to out dooo Yahoo



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

I agree with you*



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

Yeah I wondered that myself, and on top of everything they don't even bother to resolve their questions, just leave 'em up to expire and then the people themselves have to vote for their own answers and it's unknown if they'll finally get their so promised 10 points. Really p****s me off.



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

you get 10 points for best answer ,well thats the idea anyway.



i've seen 10 points for really crap answers.



this aint the best answer so i'll just settle for the 2 points.



thanks



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

LOL Well said Susie. I think Y!A takes a dim view of this as points manipulation anyway :-)



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

It's a sales pitch.



Why are people suddenly announcing '10 points for best answer' on their questions?

You are totally correct.
