Great answer ceiling award analysis?
So you see some clever Jelly’s answer, and it makes you think that it deserves a great answer. You go to click great answer but you see it already has some number of great answers that makes you not want to give the answer any more great answers, but if it had none, you would have given it a great answer.
Are you putting a ceiling on how many great answers a question deserves before you yourself will also give it one?
yes, I have done this

I give lurve for the response, and I pay no attention to how many great answers they already have. I also give freely to anyone who has less than 50 lurve, or if they mention certain things that are dear to me (any Kahlil Gibran reference, for example)
If I like what I see I give my high five. I really don’t put that much thought into the process.
I really don’t think about it that much.
I don’t pay attention to how much lurve a response or question has already gotten. My opinions are usually contrary to those of the herd, so I’m rarely in that situation.
@stranger_in_a_strange_land I haven’t really noticed that about you. I don’t think your answers are contrary to the herd. Perhaps you think something, but write something else?
@zenele Most of my contrary opinions I keep to myself, not wanting to engage in pissing contests as I did on other sites. If I don’t have anything good to say, I choose to say nothing. I don’t even defend myself anymore, only others if I think they’ve been treated unfairly.
That’s what my mom always said to do – I have to learn from you to actually implement that. Let’s have a code: when I am not saying something nice, remind me please. Our code will be: Zen, you’re being a fucking asshole again – stop it.
@zenele No problem, I’m not offended. I don’t have to make a conscious effort to implement it; depression does it automatically.
If an answer (or question) inspires me to give lurve, I figure it deserves my lurve… no matter what. Doesn’t matter to me how many others have given theirs, or even who wrote the response. I’ll lurve it even if I don’t like the person.
I use the babe factor. Auggie and Jeruba, e.g., will always get my (by now maxed out and useless) GA just for the babe factor.
they can walk and chew gum…give them some lurves!
After all, who can read every answer!
Ironically this were all great answers :P
If I consider something to be a good answer then that’s what I give it regardless of how many others (or none at all) have done the same.
It’s a subjective thing for each of us so I feel that what others have done shouldn’t cause me to give or not give lurve.
If a bunch of others agreed with me, so be it. Doesn’t change what I do.
