So tell me: What does a newbie need to know about Mahalo Answers?
My first Mahalo dollar goes to the person who can save me the trouble of learning the hard way.
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.

OH, now that I think about it, the one thing I didn't catch for a while, was the small bar below people's avatars. The colour of it, is the colour belt they have, and that represents the rank that they have (or rather, how long they've been around). As you can see on me, I'm still a yellow belt, but I'm on my way to being green. You can click where it says how many points you have at the top right (or just look at your own profile), to see what limits there are in place for each rank.
Anyway, welcome to Mahalo, hope you enjoy the website and find it useful, I know I have.

You can interlink Mahalo pages in your questions/answers by adding [ [ title of Mahalo page ] ] or [ [ title of Mahalo page | title to display ] ] (but without the spaces). e.g. Where can I find good apps for my T Mobile G1?
Also, you can have your questions answered without even having to login to Answers by emailing answers@mahalo.com. Just put the question as the subject and any details in the body and it'll show up on Answers and the responses will be emailed back to you!
And most importantly:
We have a very low tolerance for shenanigans. If we feel a question/answer isn't helpful we'll filter it out. This may seem heavy-handed, but I think if you'll ask around most everyone would agree that the quality of the responses are TOP NOTCH. We go to great lengths to inspire a community of helpfulness and trust!
I'm a Mahalo dev.

Yeah... if it appears that darcy is going to the verbal mattresses with @jasoncalacanis, don't jump in and defend anyone. Just let the music play.
Don't ask me know I know this. ;)
