Dr. Bob,
I was answering questions on Yahoo Answers and I thought of something. Over on Yahoo Answers people get points for answering questions, 2 points for answering a question and an extra 10 points if their answer gets chosen as the best answer by voters or the person answering the question.
It encourages participation and thoughtful answers and gives people a reward.
Do you think that might work for Babble too? Or would it make some people feel bad for not having very many points?
I'm answering questions on Yahoo Answers and my answers get chosen as best answer 40% of the time so far and it gives me a good feeling to know I've been helpful.
If Babble did the same thing it might be more rewarding ya know?
I don't know how feasible this is since people don't just post answers on Babble and since questions don't close here.
I dunno, just an idea!
