Do you think that it's annoying when people ask for points in questions? Do you give them points, or not?

No i dont, i find its rude to beg:-)
-
If they asked nicely, yes. I really don't find it annoying. It's not as if they're asking for money or something. Give a little love and it all comes back to you =)
-
Depends.... There are many many point-fishing methods. I find asking for them to be the most straighforward and honest.
-
I don't find it annoying...I'll give points...
-
Nah! I just ignore them.
-
Usually I find them annoying, unless they're concerned about being on level 13... I wasn't too fond of that, either.
-
No problems. I can give them if they ask!
-
Yes I do. No I don't.
-
If they do it in a cute or funny way I might. But I never do it for the newbies because it doesn't take many points to level up.
-
It's a violation of the AB terms of use and should be marked as spam.
-
Whats more annoying is when they say "don't give me points" Regardless of the question they asked, they know they will not be downrated
-
Yes, earn them already. No, I refuse to give them points. Furthermore, questions that ask for points are "prohibited", but people don't flag them as often as they should. I made an exception in the case of the Blank Savage to Maestro campaign because I felt that it was remarkably touching on the part of his AB friends.
-
I give points if I think the question warrants it. There must be a reason for them to feel that they need to ask; either get ignored or downrated. I don't remember reading anywhere that asking for ABers to 'read' your questions is against the rules, though. Is it? NOTE: The following was posted by AB-Joel (Administration) on Oct 20, 2003 at 11:00 am "Please do not ask for points in your questions. These questions will be rejected, and if repeated, further disciplinary action will be taken."
-
Unless their 100 pts away from maestro or something, I give -5 for pt begging.
-
Neither.
-
I haven't yet found an answer or question which would ask for points.If i did i wouldn't know what i'd do.Depends on the answer/question and the way it asked for points.
-
The first time they ask, yes. Those are just points anyway. It's not as if I lose money each time I give them. After that, they're on their own.
-
Neither. I ignore those questions completely.
-
Neither, I just ignore it.
-
I ignore those questions but I have noticed that they usually have a negative rating.
-
Neither of those. It is not allowed here to ask for points in any way so I just flag it as Nonsense.
-
I ignore them. I have never DR'd anyone. It's pointless I think. I just walk on by! :)
-
Neither. I do not give them points and I would not down rate them . I will point out it is not the done thing because most people that ask for points are new to AB,
-
Yes I do. It compleatly defeats the point (bom bom) of having levels and ranks in the first place.
-
Yes it is rude and it is also against the rules.
-
I don't know if it is cheeky or not but it is simply against the rules and I don't intend to break them.
-
I usually won't allow myself to be caught saying "cheeky," but yeah, sure...
-
10/28/2024, that's pathetic. It proves some users then only came to Answerbag for the points.
