Expert: PAPAJACK - 12/15/2008

Question
Hi Papajack,
I want to share with you my decision to drop out of the answer 'rating' process at Allexperts, at the end of today.
It has become so infuriating that "I'm angry as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" :)
Below is what I sent to YongFeng at Allexperts tech support:

"Hi YongFeng,
It is apparent that Deran McKean is stopping at nothing to be the Top Expert. He has answered 15 questions from "John" today (his only questioner, who so far has nominated him 63 times this month), and has 10 Nominations so far today. This is gone beyond tolerance for experts like myself who take on multiple real questions each day from different people. I will opt out at this point. Please let me know when you correct this sort of abuse. It is unfortunate but this will reduce my ability to dialog with my questioners and thus reduce the usefulness of the site to these folks.

Thanks for your support and interest.

Answer
Hello again Roland,        

I can identify with your feeling but no one should judge anyone else.
I noticed a lacking in the rating you gave me but did not complain.

At this site, just share and promote the knowledge you have with the questioners.

The person you commented on is not necessarily (your words) “ gaming you “(as you put it). You do not know them to be wrong, catty or dishonest in their cause.

Why would you think the system is being manipulated by some expert just to be in top ratings for response time? You may be mistaken.

What if you were the one asking for information 15 times a day? Would you want the person, with the ability to help you with their knowledge deny you a valid answer?
Or perhaps refuse their question and drag their repair out for 15 days when you could spend the quality time working with them to solve the problem in an hour.

I hope this helps.
Good Luck
Merry Christmas
