When you realize that you got an Okay rating on an answer?

Yes, I do Usually, in cases like that, the answer that won the best ribbon I agree is the best answer. Usually it's the answer I voted "Great" on! Here's an example, where the best answer provided me with information I didn't know about...I'm glad this person "beat" me in the ratings!

They had better info to provide than I did. askville.amazon.com/askville/ClosedQuest... I do always go back and try to see what makes answers better (or more popular). I've always been a writer, and have been doing some freelance writing recently (for free...hope to get some paying publications some day!) So I look at this as a chance to improve my writing skills.

I can see which answers were effective in conveying information, and which were too rambling, or too terse, or too hard-to-understand. On a related topic, I kind of wish all the ratings were public. Yes, I think it would definitely result in bad feelings so I don't think it would ever be a good idea to actually implement.

But I'd love to get specific feedback about the strong and weak points of my answer. That's why I like to get superpower votes on my answers.So, in answer to your question, not only do I go back and reread my "okay" answers, I go back and reread all questions/answers once the voting has closed to try to see if others agreed with how I voted. I'm always surprised when someone I voted Great ends up with a good, or if someone I voted okay ends up with the best answer ribbon, and I like to reevaluate the answer to try to see if I voted "wrong" (i.e.

, over or under estimated the usefulness of an answer)..

This may sound dumb but... I don't know how to see what rating my answer got. How do you see that? If you couldn't tell, I'm fairly new at this.

Yes, But sometimes I have found to answer less attractive names to get a great answer. I am saying I no longer go for some people's questions... they choose their friends over you! THEN, they congradulate them in the discussion box below.... How disturbing!

I am here for voting, answering, and being fair! I am not here for the RATING. I like alot of people here and I am addicted!

I vote great for the best answers. Sometimes, they are all great! So, they get a great!

I have never voted weak! I probably never will. I have had some weak answers given to my questions, I grin and bear it!

Happy Spring and thanks for the excellent question. Sources: My True Nutty Opinion.

Another voting dilemma...what would you do if you were rating an answer and there was something in it that couldn't be.

When you answer a question how do you find your rating of answer.

Is it possible to appeal an answer rating...

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.
