I'm certainly not the most active member here - but I try to respond to at least one or two a day, if I have more time I'll move through some of my favorite categories and answer other questions. I spend time responding and typically find at least one unique reference or source to bring in to the answer to assist the asker. I also comment on responses that are interesting or when I can provide a bit more information, mark questions as interesting and participate in voting for undecided questions.
I don't usually pick a question to answer based on tip - but I appreciate members who fund questions with MD$1 or more.
I answer any question, that I'm sure I know the answer to. Usually I answer about 12 or more. Although, it all depends on how interesting the question is.
If I find it difficult or boring to answer I kip it. I also skip questions that have more than 10 answers.
I don't have a set number to answer. I do try to look for questions each day that I can provide an answer to. If I don't find any, I don't worry about it.
I don't look for the tip questions... just those I know the answer to. When I do answer I try to actually add something to the discussion, and I try to inlink when possible to help Mahalo build their interlinking for the search engines. I also look at the answers of others and click if I think it is a helpful answer, and click for helpful questions.
People deserve to get recognition if they have a valid point, even if it is not the MOST helpful answer. I've been known to click several as helpful for the same question.
I only answer questions with tips, but the time I spend varies depending on my free time for the day. Today I have lots of free time, so I'm answering a lot of different questions, but only those with tips!
The amount of Mahalo questions I try to answer depend on the amount of time I have available. In general, I try to answer at least 10 questions. If I have a lot of time available, I answer a lot more than that.
I do not look specifically for tip or non tip. For me the question has to get my attention and I have to know the topic.
I am very new to Mahalo Answers and I answer questions that I find interesting and ones that I know I can be helpful. I do not look for tip vs non-tip, just trying to be help when I can. I haven't really mastered the belt status or the tips thing.
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.
