Again, Good Answers Reduced by 2 Points from Yesterday - CR4 Admin Can Explain?

08/25/2013 5:49 AM

Few months back, I raised an issue ito CR4 Admn./Moderator that the GOOD ANSWERS point has been reduced, and how it is happening and who is deciding it.?

There was a good response from other CR4 Members who have been affected, more than me in the same way.

Till the day before yesterday, it was 14, and from yesterday it is showing as 12. Of course sharing our knowledge and expressing our views,seeking advise from other CR4 Members is the important phenomena here.

May I request CR4 Admn./ Moderator to explain, how this change is happening.?

It is not my intention to offend any body, and this is purely an innoccuous message posted here for clarification. Even the balance Good Answers are wiped out - I won't feel. The issue here is - WHETHER WE ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS FORUM? and the answer should be useful for others.

THANKS,

DHAYANANDHAN.S

Shouting won't help.

This can happen when a recent OT vote cancels out an earlier GA vote. This was completely explained in your earlier thread.

Dear Mr.Tornado,

Thank you for your response and Noted. For me, as I referred earlier, GA or NO GA - Contribution and Learning is my aim, as many of the CR4 Members feel.

Tornado is correct. GAs are not permanent. Comment ratings can change at any time. People often discover and read old threads and vote as they read.

I did check your comments that were recently rated and didn't see any sign of malicious activity, that is, people purposely removing your GAs.

Why not count the two tallies, GA and OT separately ? I do not understand why they should interact, since to me OT vote is a matter of perspective. If it is truly OT then move it there, But GA should still be a GA. I like the idea that a GA can be scored in reply to an OT post, since it is parallel to the topic stream.

Sometimes people will receive a GA in response to a thread, and it turns out that the answer was either wrong, based on inaccurate information, or somebody comes along with a much better answer; at which time, somebody else may cancel out that GA.

It really doesn't matter...at least to me. On a technichal question, I'm satisfied if the genuine best answer is in the short GA list; it beats wading through an entire thread, even if a couple of the GAs are just a funny joke, or Lyn berating somebody.
