bonnieheather - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) i just answer things i know about.. or have experienced.. seems odd.xx

mrscolegrove - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) i was wondering what kind of person has enough time to sit on there pc all day an earn those points i havent been on this site for long but i joined it to get advise from people who have been there and know im not the only one going through this this site so far is helping but i do get the "talk to your doc " "google it" "idont know" all that says to me is why did you even answer it i want someone whos going through it or been there

UKMama - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I imagined those who have 'Woah!' amounts of BB's have simply got loads of free, uniterrupted time and are happy to cruise the PC for ages on end (but that'll change in a snap when their bumps are inside-out!). Some people relish a chase and a challenge. And even if they did 'cheat', in the scheme of things, it's no real harm to anyone else on here, is it? I just type my answer and leave it for the one who left the question to use it or not, with no thought to earning BB's (which seems a bit high school to me anyway). Don't let these ladies spoil your fun OR stop you from making your great replies available to us all via the Q&A spot.

michaela - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) i must admit i really enjoyed answering the questions before this bb sysyetm came into play. It actually put my off this site a bit. Get rid of the bb's. I'm so glad someone brought this up, as alot of the answers on here were totally inappropriate and i lost interest at that point, now i just answer questions that i feel i have some knowledge in and can help out.

baby.bray - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I've seen the 'pattern' too sweetie x

Holly28 - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (2 votes) I asked why people who had the poorest answers were receiving the highest ratings a few weeks ago. I think the whole thing is unfair and that something is definitely going on. For example, how does someone get over 400 BBs in SIX DAYS???

sarahann - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (2 votes) Only one way to fix it. Get rid of the BB's then hopefully all answers will be genuine. The BB's seemed like a bit of fun, and a bit of an incentive, however those who genuinely want to help others will still answer those questions that they can.

candace3 - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (3 votes) Now that you mention it, it does look a little fishy....I didn't pay that much attention before about who had the most, and ironically were rated on every answer. Good observation. It is too bad not everyone is on this website for the same reason...to make friends, talk babies and offer support when it is needed.

Brandi J. - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (2 votes) I have seen this too, and I really hope that this is not the case. It is so sad that ppl feel money is more important than trying to help someone who is seeking an answer to a Q that they are really concerned about. At first I thought that the bb's were a very good idea to persuade ppl to answer Q's, but I know that I would still want to answer the Q's, I love being able to answer ppls Q's if I feel that I can help them. And I'm sure I am not the only one who would love to answer the Q's w/out the bb's. I feel that everyone knows to "google" their concerns, they do not need to be told to do this. I have, myself, googled things to try to help, I feel that if someone doesn't genuinely want to help, then they do not need to comment. I know from what I read on the last Q similar to yours that there are ppl who are irritated w/ this as well.
