I rate answers every day and I have to say that I am greatly impressed by some of the many talented and knowledgeable people in SFI. The names of the same people, the best writers, come up regularly. Sadly mine is not one of them.
I have studied their answers and I make the following observations:
- They answer the question being asked instead of simply talking about it.
- They do not repeat the question at the beginning of their answers. This is a pointless and annoying practice by some members.
- They do not simply repeat or copy and paste the information that is already in SFI about the subject of the question. They provide the links for the readers to follow if necessary.
- Their arguments or points are made in well-structured ways with logical conclusions.
- They don’t rave on or go off sideways. They are focused on the question being answered.
- Their answers are to the point and not long winded. If the question only warrants a short answer then the answer should be short.
- The tone of their answers is always light and friendly. They don’t lecture to the readers.
- They use every day English avoiding words that may be difficult to be understood by those for whom English is not their primary language.
- They use short sentences and their posts are easy to follow.
Those are some of my observations and I always vote YES on those points.
Further to those, if I find that any of the information contained in the answers are incorrect or breaches any of the rules, I will always vote NO.
One of the most common breaches is people putting their names at the end of their answer or somehow identifying who they are. Regardless of the quality of the answer, I always vote NO for those.
