In Mahalo Answers, what happens if the asker doesn't select a best answer and then no one votes?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the question just gets closed and then no reward is given to any of the people who answered (even if their answers were correct/useful/etc).
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If the asker doesn't select a best answer within four days, the question moves to the undecided questions tab and the community votes for the best answer. At the end of the voting period, which lasts two days, the answer with the most votes is declared the best answer and receives the tip if a tip was offered. If no best answer has the most votes, the question is closed without a best answer and if a tip was offered the the tip is credited to the asker's account. If there's a tie, the voting period is extended until one answer has the most votes.

But if answerer feel it was unfair, after the question was selected 'no best answer', the answerer can click on the option No(meaning unfair) in that particular question and give their feedback. There is a special feedback box for the answerer
Hope it helps

Well then no one gets the 10 extra points if someone doesn't pick a best answer and the question expires.

From the Help page:

How are best answers selected?

The asker has four days from the time the question is asked to select a best answer by clicking the Select as Best Answer button next to the answer they choose. If the asker doesn't select a best answer within four days, the question moves to the undecided questions tab and the community votes for the best answer. At the end of the voting period, which lasts two days, the answer with the most votes is declared the best answer and receives the tip if a tip was offered.

If no best answer has the most votes, the question is closed without a best answer and if a tip was offered the the tip is credited to the asker's account.

If there's a tie, the voting period is extended until one answer has the most votes.

I think things have changes since that was written. Plenty of questions stay open for voting a lot longer than two days after voting starts.

I believe the question stays open and waits for votes. I say this because I'm always telling people to vote on questions that are very very old.

Can you give me an example, Pazaq. The questions that are old are either 'the answers are new' so the questions come late for voting (Usually with one answer) or It is a tie.
