Do the votes of the person who asked a question carry more weight than votes of members who answer a question?

What I mean is, if I ask a question I give feedback to everyone who answers. All of the people who answer the question I ask also vote on all of the other answers. Does my vote as the asker carry more weight in the "best answer" judgment than the other respondents?

...The question asker’s vote on an answer counts for 2 votes... So yes, the questioner's vote carries more weight than the answerers'. However it may, in time, not be the most important vote around if the Voting Superpower progression continues: What is the Voting Authority superpower? ...In the lower level versions of this superpower, your vote will only count as one additional vote.

As you continue to "level-up" in a topic and "learn" higher-level versions, your vote will count even more since you've demonstrated "expertise" in that topic... So possibly by Level 3 or so the Voting superpower would carry more weight than the questioner's. Askville hasn't confirmed that as yet though. Sources: askville.amazon.com/askville/faq.html?#_... .

The person who asks the question has a vote that counts as two votes. So yes your vote carries more weight than those who answer your question. In other words, if you ask a question and five people answer and everyone casts all of the votes that they are eligible to cast there will be six votes on each answer, one from each answerer (you can’t vote on your own answer) and two from the questioner.

So basically the questioner accounts for one-third of the total vote. Sources: my experience and the FAQ page .

Yes According to the FAQ the asker's rating is given two votes as compared to the one vote everyone else gets. Copied from FAQ: "Experience points are calculated after a question has been closed and users have voted on the question. The user that asked the question and the users that submitted answers to the question (maximum of 5 users can answers a question) will have a chance to vote on the question.

An answer must get at least 2 votes for it to be rated. Any answer which doesn’t get the minimum 2 votes will be given a default score of ‘Okay’. The question asker’s vote on an answer counts for 2 votes.

Yes - asker's vote counts double The vote of the person who asked the question gets counted as two votes. askville.amazon.com/askville/faq.html#_T... (Question #2) .

No, except in a tie. According to the Askville FAQ, there is no difference between the weight of the vote of the question asker and the answerer(s). The only exception being that in the case of a tie for best answer, the question asker's vote will break the tie.

So if Answer A and Answer B both got the same total points in votes for best answer, the one who got a better vote from the asker wins. Sources: askville.amazon.com/askville/faq.html#_T... .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
