OK I have to ask this.. WHY DONT PEOPLE VOTE?
i have seen other sites which has far less number of views and users or questions in case of Aviaiton but each question and answer at least get 20 votes
every other site people vote.
I simply dont see that here. I will be lying if i say I mind 0% about the REP but its not only for the REP , the votes act as a motivation factor for me personally to take up the time to answer another question.
Here you get tons of views for a question/answer but only 1 or 2 guys vote. I mean, what is holding you folks back.
TO be frank if this were another site the amount of question and answer Me , Steve and Zaid have answered should have taken us to a rep of about 8 to 10K
Paul I do not know how you reached 30k , good for you but you should be around 60 or 70k
has answered only 550 questions about half as paul but has 50k REP in avation.
his most voted answers consistently has more than 50 votes some going til 70
if you take our homeboy PAULSTER2 for that matter he has a measly 27 as his most voted answer and is sitting at 30k REP
I think there are more mechanics and cars than pilots and planes around the world correct me if i am wrong
I am babbling here since I recently saw a guy with 800 REP from ONE ANSWER , ONE! He got 80 votes basically
he has been a member for 3 days
Looking at our ALL TIME VOTERS , IT LOOKS like a static web page. almost 0 changes, with the only new candidate being GEORGE.
By VOTING you encourage people to give out answers even more. I am not saying I will stop giving out answers just because I dont get any votes. All I am saying is that I like the green notification with +10 on it. Its like a pat on the back
Not only me, I feel like the number crunching talent of Zaid , the wise guy advice from paul , the how to be a rock god/mechanic Rory or the Lazy BOB should have more votes and equally appreciated for the efforts. You guys put in so much efforts and get 1 vote.
Even more important is Voting on questions. only then people will feel the question is getting noticed , perhaps I should ask more and the occasional "GOOD QUESTION" quote as a comment would be even better.
