Tip refunding?

I answered a question quite a while ago, i thought it was quite a good answer so was hopeful i would get the £2 tip, i waited and waited, eventually i checked and found he had found no best answers and had therefore had his tip refunded? so he gets answers worthy of a £2 tip for free?
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
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.

i think overall this is going by the honor system right now, mahalo i think did this a good way though, because if you submit a question and didnt like the response what will you lose 2 dollars? i think it goes both ways. I think however if you thought it was a good response try to ask the person directly why they didnt vote you as best answer and they was just trying to cheat u then move on, there is tons of questions on here to answer, take your pik. I would also suggest sticking to the 25 cent answers because then the users wont be using there own mahalo dollars thus giving a best answer most of the time.

I feel your pain on this though. I wish there was a better way.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Mike !

The Asker has the option of selecting "No Best Answer" this will refund the tip they added to the question.

If the Asker fails to choose an answer and does not select "No Best Answer" questions go into the Undecided Questions queue, where again "No Best Answer" can be selected by the community and the tip will be refunded.

It would appear that way. I never actually thought of it like that. But then I guess if he didn't get the answer he was looking for it makes sense.

I really don't know if the tip is refunded. I asked a question once, and I received fair answers so I select no best answer. I don't know if I received my money back or not, I didn't check.

Perhaps, Mahalo absorbs it. If you remember there was this one question that asked what happened to the money from the "interesting question" vote tips. Apparently Mahalo absorb it, if no best answer was selected.

But if they received their money back I guess it's fair. If they used their own money and got answers they weren't comfortable with, then I guess it's fair they get their money back. But it's unfair to do it too often.

Although, if they do this too often then you can turn them in to the staff. Also, you can claim that it was unfair to choose no best answer, by going the question and explaining why. If enough answerers complain the staff will make a decision. :D
