On a scale from one to ten, If I choose not to add a tip to a question how much less are you apt to reply?
10 being 'There's no way I'll reply because that cheap jerk isn't paying me'
1 being 'I'll answer either way...the tip has no bearing on my decision'
Also I'm not judging anyone based on their answer...I'm curious about the user base of the site and what their motivations are. Send me a direct message if you'd like to hear my answer to this question.
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.

I don't believe that small tips really influence people to answer a question one way or the other.

M$I've spent so much time answering questions on other message boards for free that sometimes I forget this time it is for money.

M$However, that's only assuming I know the answer. There are times I've suggested that a question needs a tip for a quality answer.

M$Now how unlikely am I to read a question if it's not offering a tip? That's a 1, because I'll still read it. But I will take longer to read it because I look at the tipping questions first.
In my experience with asking tipped and untipped questions, I think other people are far less likely to answer untipped questions than they are to tipped questions.

M$A tip is a nice motivator for a question which I know I can find with a little research, but ordinarily I'll answer if I have a good answer or if I know or feel strongly about the question.
