what should i rate?
i aksed a question that could be answered by yes or no, and then the answerer could have gone into detail about why they said yes or no. if the answerer just said no., and left it at that, what should i rate them? they answered the question and gave an appropriate answer, but could have gone into more detail about why they said yes or no.
also, when like 3 people answer a question, and all say that same exact thing the first person said, what should i rate them? if one person answeres the question and the next two people have the same exact answer, i dont need of the same answers.
what should rate people in these instances?

Rate 1 only if the answer was abusive.
Rate 2 if the answer was not useful to you at all, but the columnists tried.
Rate at least 3 if the answer was useful to you at all.
Rate 4 if the answer solved your problem completely.
Rate 5 if the answer solved your problem completely, covered anything that could go wrong, gave answers to related issues, and gave links to extra info(that aren't just copied from Google).
Give only one 5 in a single question, unless two 5-worthy answers were within 10 minutes of each other.
Expect people to complain if you give them anything other than a 5, though. This answer is worthy of a 4, for example. Here's my most complete answer, and the one I think is most worth a 5, though it wasn't even rated :'( :

I have an average rating of about 4.9; if people rated how they should I'd probably have an average rating of 3.9-4.1

I usually just don't rate when that happens. Sometimes its easier for me as the asker to just read yes or no instead of a paragraph about the opinion and how it was formed. If someone just says "yes" [which most people have done at one point or another], they're not looking for a rating on how great their advice is or how annoying or mean they can be, they just think a person wants a quick yes or no so they can move on so I would just not rate. <3

I think they should give a reason for why they said yes or no. Its really not that hard to do.
If it was a helpful yes or no, I wouldn't rate it higher than a 3 if they didn't explain themselves.
If they are just repeating or rewording answers given before them, I would rate a 2. You
shouldn't answer a question if you can't add anything new to it. Thats why all answers are
shown on the answer question page. To avoid repeating.
Be sure and check the time they answered though. If the times are real close they could have
posted at the same time, or after they read the answers given.
You can also rate them down if they type using no
capitals and/or punctuation.
Recently a young lady left someone a mean edit because she got a 3. She was thanked for her answer and simply told next time maybe she could use some capital letters. I told her that person had every
right to rate her down. Your rating is your "pay"
for answering a question. If you don't make much
of an effort in answering to make it look nice,
you get minimum wage (rating).
You should also always leave feedback. Be polite
but explain your rating. It is important to tell someone why you liked their answer too. Pay them well. :)

Rate no matter what.
If it is a great answer- 5
A really good answer-4
An "ok" answer-3
A could have been better answer- 2
abusive-1
I would give a 5 to the first person who answered,and maybe a 4 to the other 2.
