Ba Of Ba (Being Advised Of Best Answer)
29 Answers
I feel sure it would be a simple matter for Answerbank to inform recipients of 'Best Answer' that they have been awarded such.
Today I was awarded a BA but could have been unaware that such was the case in the following thread ;-
https:/ /www.th eanswer bank.co .uk/Tec hnology /Questi on15950 73.html
It is my opinion that Clicking of 'Best Answer' should be regarded as a response to the original posting and all ABers who are 'Threaded ' should be sent the normal feed back e/mail.
As a point of interest, recently,I was awarded a BA in the following thread but only today have become aware of it ;-

No best answer has yet been selected by HansUrbancka. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I check my profile frequently, so that I can see if there's any response to my posts. (e.g. the person who started the thread might be seeking clarification of something I've written). I'll usually note my current BA score at the same time. If it's gone up, but I don't know why, clicking on 'Best' lets me know where an additional BA has come from.
So getting emails about BAs wouldn't provide me with any information that I don't get already.

'Gamification' of social media websites has been the current trend for a few years.
Usually there is some kind of privilege or reward that comes with a certain number of posts, or a certain number of 'premium' posts, or other 'achievements'.
This site does not appear to have developed a gamification strategy, as it has no rewards (no matter how simple) for either the number of contributions, or the quality of them.
Yet the site keeps a count of the contributions in the form of both questions and answers, as well as the quality of contributions through the 'best answer' scheme.
Have to say, I don't really understand the thinking behind the site's efforts to keep users who offer good answers, and those who make many positive contributions.
But maybe that's a question for the Ed....
