I have a question now 6 day 14 hours old (e.g. 10 hours left). No one has yet to provide any answer, which is better than a kid trying to make a joke. My question is simple: What happens to the points Yahoo! Answers deducted when I wrote the question? The answer and the comments are clear on what happens when a "No Best Answer" (NBA) occurs to your points. Unfortunately, it isn't clear (to me) what happens to the point when no answer occurs after 7 days. Hence my question (see above) on what happens to the deducted points when a NBA occurs.

As I type, I have an answer in one question that received 67% of the votes and another that has 100% of the votes, yet both questions are listed as needing a tiebreaker. Is this a bug, or a feature I’m failing to understand? Why do questions with clear winners go into tiebreaker mode? As I type, I have an answer in one question that received 67% of the votes and another that has 100% of the votes, yet both questions are listed as needing a tiebreaker.

The moderation is inconsistent, and this hurts Yahoo! Answers. Numerous times, a multiple choice question has been deleted for violating the community guidelines. Yet, one person has 40 such questions up. I agree with the first poster. The moderation is inconsistent, and this hurts Yahoo! Answers.

I have to second this. Honestly, when I ask a serious question, and the only answer is "IDK. Thx 4 2", there is no best answer, and it's beyond frustrating knowing that someone is going to get 10 points for that! Why does it have to go to vote, when there clearly is no "reasonable" answer, let alone a good one? “Why not let the ASKER pick ” No Best Answer” ??”
