i agree yedda should eliminate any kind of reward system. this causes nothing but trouble on these threads. my reward is the respect and compliments i receive from the far right.

I guess thats one expectation, I have posted for everything from diaper rashes to sex questions, not that I'm an expert, people know we are just other people who happen to know one answer to their question, another may give a totally different answer so now that person has two to choose from and so on. I am not a left winger but I agree with some of the things they say, and I disagree with a lot of what they say but i never gave them a thumbs down, maybe once or twice, I just don't remember to do it and I think it is totally irrelevant anyway. Actually I resent being judged by some of the uninformed people in here, they are more like cult members than informed people and it just becomes a waste of time and is usually followed by name calling, haters birthers right wingnuts and all of that pound on the table communistic showtime stuff. I rarely come in here anymore. I do have a few articles , one in particular I feel i must post everywhere and so I will come in here tomorrow to do that, but thats about it and no one can spam nme with thums down because i didn't write the article. LOL

most of the people on here are article posters and thats what they get their thumbs up on. on the political threads there is very little opinion. i dont understand whats so important in getting a thumbs up. what little value or satisfaction they might have had, which i still dont understand, they have none now because of people giving them to themselves. there is nothing wrong with in posting and occasional article but when thats all these people do to try to achieve some kind of false reward i find disturbing.

i left out thats the main reason for multiple accounts for their sick need for self reward.

Loco Lady - you are right on the money.  Let's just exchange opinions.  Does it matter at all if someone rates your answer right/wrong?  I don't think so.

Yedda should throw out the people with the multiple accounts, fix the glitches and the oops pages, start providing the 'notice of comment' in your emails again - it would be a better system.

OK, Here you go, here is a perfect example. I went to my profile , I was asked if I wanted a widget "Take your Yedda reputation with you! Put this widget on your blog to link to your Yedda profile page and to display your recent answers on Yedda" who wants to take a reputation that has been ruined by thumb downs with them? not me. I also got this stat right on my profile, 307 answers, 131 helpful. Now how accurate is that? As I said, I had some idiot who didn't agree with anything I said , especially if it was against her President, Obama, she would press thumbs down everytime, so I am being graded because someone doesn't like my speaking out against a person they voted for? well thats not very fair is it? I have written a lot of things on Yedda that a lot of people didn't agree with so I would say I have outlived my usefulness on yedda. Under this mess they call stats, it said "Do you have a question for me?" I don't want one thank you. In addition to just blogging I did answer a lot of questions correctly,most of them accompanied by links so I don't know what they want. I think perhaps they should answer all of these questions themselves, I'll give them a thumbs up alright. Why am I being graded and why are they putting down stats, I find it hard ot believe these are correct. Are they inbcluding blogging with replying to questions? Some of the questions lead to a conversation , how is that graded, this is so sophmoric.

Different strokes for different folks.
