How come some people just answer the question but never read (understand) the question they are answering so their answers never make sense. And if this is the case should the person posting the questions only go by the individuals who read the question and gave the person posting the question an answer that makes them feel better and ignore the other answers they received that did not make sense?
Rate them according to the answer. You don't want to rate an answer low if it has some use. But if it doesn't have any use rate it low and leave feedback politely telling them that they didn't read the question correctly.

It's just simply because they misunderstood it and if the answer makes no sense whatsoever, the blame is partially on the questioner.
Most of the time many people use horrible grammar, skip from one event to another, and mainly they don't state the questions clearly at all. They barely take it into consideration that when they ask a not so clear question, the reader, who is a total stranger to the situation, gets easily confused or misled.
The rating, you should probably give ratings. But if you're going to give a 1, make sure it's NOT because it doesn't make you happy because if every answer someone gives you is sugar coated, that's not advice. You're asking questions on here to get advice from every point of view and not just advice from what you want to hear. So as long as they answer your question, they should get a 4 or 5. If it wasn't helpful 2 or 3. But never a 1 because you didn't want to hear it or because they misunderstood it. If the reply didn't make sense whatsoever, re-read the question you posted to make sure it wasn't because you typed it unclearly. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
