Do you select the best response in your discussions?

Yes And I choose those answers w/c somehow is close to what I want to have. Through this im also helping them earn

I will choose a best response if there is one worth labeling as that.

Hello wrangel15! I not only chose best response for each of my discussion but I also read and rate every response and add comment to it. All of this, including choosing a best response, is to show respect for the participation of users in my discussion. MY criteria isn't that difficult and even though it helps me a lot in selecting a best response, there are still times when I am indecisive between two or more responses for some time, but I do finally choose one. For me, the response should be relevant, should cover all major points of the discussion that I have tried to highlight, if it's seeking help, who has provided the mot wanted help, if it's opinion, who have considered all possibilities in a judicious and justified manner (they don't haver to agree with me) and who have given most thought to the questions and to the answers too. Finally, whose response is more communicative, more understand able for average user here who come from many different places. Even though I may find it difficult to finally decide, this criteria helps me narrow down the options. In fact, any criteria, if applied, will help narrow down the options. I try to wait for at least 1 week of inactivity on my discussion before giving a best response. It is to provide maximum people a chance to voice their opinions, thoughts and share their experiences.

Sure, I usually select the best response after a week. I think it's a kind of appreciations to others. I love China

I do choose best responses for my discussions. I try to let the conversation run for at least 4 or 5 days so that most people have had an opportunity to answer it. I choose the best response by what I truly feel fits that description. Did it answer my question? Did it entertain or educate me? Did it make sense? Did it help me more than the other responses? (if that is aplicable) If there is only one response and it has been up for a while I will give that person the best response basically just to get it out of my unresolved area but I tend to let it run a little longer than others to see if anyone else adds to it.

I have been selected two times as best response..... When i find a answer which helps me with lots of information,and which is somewhat unique in nature,I marked it as best response.

I always give BR in all of my posts, but, there are posts that has few responses still and I am waiting for more additional before I will decide to choose. Since, from my experience, at first i easily give BR and by the following day, i will more responses which are also great in content! So, to be fair, i will wait a week before choosing one!

I do if I see a response that is well written, reasonable and not bias. Like you have just said and I also agreed with you that sometimes there are special cases where the response answered is more than the answer, that is true, I agreed.

I choose basically the same way you do. I tend to ask open-ended questions, and not ones that have a definitive answer, so choosing the "correct" one isn't possible. I tend to choose the one with the best description on if they elaborate more so than others.
