Evening All Could One Of You Explain Best Answer Please (And No It's Not A Wind Up)

[twofeathers]

Having been recently introduced to the complexity of Badges. Is it good practice to award a best answer on your own threads, What's the general rule of thumb thanks. I dont get the badges and i am still undecided about best answer!

What happens if you choose one then somebody else comes up with something better? Confused feathers

[Psybbo]

The answer that best answers your question or one that amuses you most if in CB

[Baldric]

And you can change it if you want to.

[Psybbo]

If that happens you can change your mind and just click on that Best Answe

[ducksie]

Only you can award best answer on your own thread and change as the case may be, the badges are set by the site, for instance how long you've been a member, if you've been involved in debates or whatever.

[twofeathers]

Ok Psybbo Baldric and Ducksie I will give it some thought!

Question still stands. Is it good practice to award a best answer on your own threads?

[stewey]

"Badges?...We don' need no stinkin' badges!"

[twofeathers]

Stewey mate i already said that This is about them best answer thingys

[TWR]

My view on this Badge thing, If persons have the time to read, the decency to answer in a polite way, each and every one on here deserves a "Best Answer Badge" Two.

[Psybbo]

If you're showing your thanks e.g. in Crosswords, yes

[Graham-W]

Nice quote, Stewey ;-)

[stewey]

Twofeathers, I was just using an amusing quote that seemed to fit the topic, as Graham-W discovered.

[Psybbo]

Try it now, give best answer to stewey then change it to Baldric?

[Baldric]

What's a Best Answer Badge please?

[Psybbo]

I think it's when you hit 500 or 1,000, Baldric

[NoMercy]

If I'm asking for specific advice or ideas, I have a tendency to select a best answer but if it's just a general chit-chat thread, I don't see the point (unless someone makes a hilarious comment).

[joggerjayne]

There is an unwritten rule that whoever posts answer number 15 is awarded the Best Answer.

[joggerjayne]

No wait ... 16 !

[Baldric]

Ah, I was looking at the post @ 20:40, it wasn't clear!

[Psybbo]

Nice one jj, Baldric if you look at your badges yo have a couple for best answers

[twofeathers]

Stewey would get the vote right now for making me spit my beer out LOL

Dont take it the wrong way stew its just ah hell (By the way got you 500 of them frog signs where doyou want delivered?
