Get out and vote on Undecided Questions Best answer gets the money!
Also I'll check all the answers to make sure they voted on at least a handful of items.
Also don't forget to sort by oldest to get rid of some of the older ones. But kind of look at how many votes a question already has and if it has a ton skip it and save your vote for one that has no votes.
Thanks!

I just exhausted my daily limit of 60 votes again today and try to do this most days. Now I have to wait until midnight before I will be able to cast any more votes. Hopefully between that and a few more best answers I may get my Purple-Brown belt tomorrow.
It would be nice if the Mahalo team would add an extra incentive for voting. Perhaps give you M$1 each time you use 100% of your daily vote allotment, if that wouldn't break the bank. It's not much money, but it's enough to encourage regular voting or enough to make someone who just cast 40 votes do an extra 20 so that they can get the prize. Lower belt levels would have an easy time of this, and feel like they were getting rich. By the time they advance a few levels and get a higher voting limit, they would be habituated to voting and hopefully wouldn't stop.

Thanks for getting into the spirit! Maybe you can pass on your voting habits to others!
Thanks!

i don't what i'm going to answer. maybe this question is helpful.
Esther the idea behind this is for people to vote on undecided questions. You can find them under the Undecided tab. Remember to click on oldest first to get the really old ones.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Sigh. If I must. That means I have to make with more clicky than usual though.
Can't we just have the devs force us to vote for a certain number of answers when we log in? That would be so much faster...oh wait...unexplained 500 series errors happen on undeclared maintenance days...maybe forcing the devs to shovel more coal ISN'T such a good idea after all.
I'll answer more of those questions after lunch. Thank you for your flogging. :)

Now that's an interesting idea. Maybe instead of forcing us to do it making it more profitable to do so. Say if you exhaust all your votes for a day all the other points you gain for that day are doubled? :)
I like that idea. Maybe we should run it past the Jason. :)
There might be less voting to do if the asker was given a couple more days to choose a best answer. I visit Mahalo a lot but I find my questions are sometimes going to vote just because I was off for the weekend or such like.

I really don't think more days is the problem simply a better way to keep track of the day things go to vote would be better. Maybe setting other limits might be nice. Like Has to stay open for X number of days and/or stays open until at least X number of answers are added. Maybe even go to more of an ebay style thing where you set the day the question will end.
Here's another really annoying and related thing. I asked a question and no one answered for a while, 33 days later it is answered by one person. When I go to look right after getting the email, it has already gone to voting. So no one else gets to answer and I don't get to choose best answer vs none.
I AGREE WITH YOU 1000% PERCENT WITH YOU! Heck I agree 10 the power of 100 with you! Sometimes I need to get better answers before I have to choose one.
I am voting like crazy... hope its okay that I am commenting this on your question. I will give u a helpful vote. I am 400 points away from getting my BROWN BELT! Yeay.... maybe in 4-5 days. I am aiming for 100 a day (^_^)V Wish me luck!
I also enjoy leaving people comments, when I vote No Best answer, giving them small tips for next time so they can get best answer. Example Which is better for renting a houseboat? Lake Powell or Navajo Lake? Simply adding why would have caused me to vote for a best answer.

Ok... now i am down to 358 points until my new belt... and I ran out of voting lol.
I would certainly prefer comments on my answers to be about my answer or at least following the thread of other peoples comments. Adding unrelated comments makes the whole thing less readable.
about your thing. I agree, and sorry, a lot people don't care if people add on to others because they don't want to write an answer that is not really an answer.
After the alloted time,
if there is only one answer,
then it should get the "best answer", automatically.
If it is a troll-ish response,
then it should have been reported and removed;
otherwise, it should be deemed as being perfectly valid.
If there is more than one answer,
then the asker should be sent an automatic e-mail
indicating that they should select a best answer for it.
If they fail to do so after, say, two weeks
(because some people go on vacations
or might have jury or temporary military duty or similar,
with no access to a computer, so that would be a "fair" amount of time),
then points would be subtracted.
In other words, to borrow a phrase from the military,
"don't ask (a question) if you don't select (the best answer)!"

Single answers often are submitted to old questions. No one else gets to answer and the asker doesn't get to choose. It should get no best answer by default and only a best answer if it gets some votes. Even if it doesn't deserve reporting it is often superficial and short.
Voted and voted and voted. welcome back :)
Thats it.... I've done my voting for the day, and dutifully spent my voting quota.
Now I'm off to have some fun and answer some questions.

I was disappointed to see so many 1-3 word unsourced and unhelpful answers from a couple of people. This is the most times I have ever had to vote "No Best Answer" within a single voting session.
