How come you can only rate 3 answers per question?

Yup, thats why…

Thanks everyone for your help :)

What jax said is right. It makes you use your “ratings” more wisely.

Instead of raiting everything… which would be pointless for the rating system.

When I rate… I only give ratings to really really good answers or very poor or abusive answers. Mediocre ones get nothing. It shows other users which answers the majority agrees with(or finds acceptable) and vice versa.

…eventually, we’re going to change this to one answer per question, so that the best / most helpful advice ends up right after the question…similar to some other sites :)

The main reason for that is because sometimes, the best answer is 5-10 places down, and the first 1-4 might not be very helpful, so it makes the site easier to use over time.

I guess its a way to force you to choose the BEST helpful answers

To me that still don’t make sence. But thanks for your answer :)
