deserve the same value for best response for the discussion? For example, just say that I started a certain discussion and there were two or three responses that were too good to pick just one of them as best response. Yes, I know the best is for "the most" good answer. But how if there were more than one response that deserved it? What should we do then?

First I go for best response... Then I look at other factors when I have a tie. I sometimes have given the best response to a newer person who perhaps has not had too many yet and who might benefit from that encouragement more than a frequent poster who I would think might have gotten more if the star level is high. I also might give it to the one who has the lower star level as they have a need for it.

If you have many responses to give mark, i think you can plus mark each.That both may not be the best response.Even though that will help that person you marked.Thanks

I would pick the one that made me laugh, or was beter worded. Sometimes I give BR to the person who actually carried on a discussion instesd of just posting a response. Many of my BR were chosen between good answer from several people by just seeing who commented back to my comments

Hi there bongkarpasang! When there are more than one post that deserves the best response mark, what I do is to check which among those posts have given additional useful and related information and then I also check which one has the best grammar and capitalization, spelling, etc.

To be totally honest with you, it really isn't all that important topick a best response. I mean, I clean all of my discussions up with picking a best response, too, but it doesn't help us to earn more money or to get our rating up, as I have been told by Crash. It is just a nice thing to do, to tell someone they posted the best response, an ego thing. So if there are more than one response that I think deserves it, I just mark the first one I thought should get it and be done with it. I don''t stress myself over it as it isn't all that important. I love this site for the friendships I have made here and I think that all of the people who respond to my discussions deserves a best response.
