Medals awarded for outstanding answers
You will be honored with a medal if your answer earns enough votes. If there are more than 1 answer to a
question then
it becomes a little bit more complicated.
In Quetree, when there are more than 1 answer to a question,
then one has to choose
the best answer to vote on since one can only vote on a single answer per question. So, each answer ends
up with a
percentage of the total votes on all of the answers.
This percentage aka Acceptance Rating is directly proportional to how
acceptable people find it
to be amongst all of the answers. You are only awarded a medal with a 65% Acceptance Rating or above.
Acceptance rating (AR)
Acceptance Rating is the percentage of votes an answer gets among all answers to a question. The sum
total of
the AR of all of the answers to a question equals 100%.
For example, given the scenario, Question A with 3 answers:
In this example none of the answers win a medal since maximum AR is less than 65%
So even with 300 votes in the example, the author of Answer 3, does not win a medal
because it is only 50% AR.
With over a 90% AR, you have a stellar answers and get one of the special star medals with
a star in the middle. These are the truly prize answers we are looking for and deserve special
medals.
