Who chooses " Yahoo answers " Best answers

 

Many times when the OP doesn't choose a best answer, YA choose the best answer automatically based on votes from qualified members.

 

Either the question starter or voter

 

either the person who have asked the question or can be held as best answer by public via vote

 

I personally think the person who posted should be the ultimate one to pick which one he feels is the best answer. After all he is the one asking the question..

 

yes, but what if that person never logs in again, yahoo has to pick a answer.

 

yahoo answers is fit for for spammers...

 

You are right but also wrong. It is a place where the public can share their knowledge. Some with deep knowledge some others have shallow knowledge

 

The person who asks the question, selects the best answer.

 

the originating poster , of course
Yahoo itself can't do that

 

yeah that would work if people would always choose an answer, but they doesn't. They got a good answer but they don't want to give you the points.

Yes thats right Yahoo don't choose the answers, but the original poster can choose the answer or it can be done by other members voting for the best answer.

 

You get the answers for questions which u are not getting answers too or get suggestions

 

I see Y answers good suggestions.

They may not the best answers but we can learn from them.

 

best answers are usually chosen by the person who posts the question

 

Anybody who has an Answers log-in can vote for the best answer if the questioner doesn't return to it (proviso - you may have to have reached level 2 to vote).
You can even vote for your answer.

 

Question starter or the number of votes decides the best answer

 

I think the poster has a couple of days to pick the best answer and than if he doesn't people vote on them and the best answer is decided by the voters

 

the guy who asked the question votes but also other people who read the question can vote as well. i think its just whoever gets more votes wins.

 

I think is the person who asks decides on the best answer, since he/she is the one who knows if the answer provided has helped or not

 

The asker chooses, if not then regular uses can vote on a best answer. Most people end up voting for their own.
