Do you think we should have a character limit for giving points to answers?

I accrue points over the course of a month, and till Kenbo told me I won in August I just did not know.

However, one way to control an end of the month rush would be to limit answers to just one per minute.

It is implied that you should be explaining why you think so if your going to answer the question.

then why not say it? I don't know, Instead of protesting that way, I will just point it out. I'm sorry for bothering you.

This is questional. If I ask "Should I get my hair cut this way, or that way?" your response shouldn't be A or B. It should be A, because [insert why I think your hair should be styled A]

That's quite possibly the lamest "protest" I've ever seen. The logical solution would be to actually say something if it bothers you, instead of waiting until the last month of every day to spam the hell out of every question you can find so you can win the monthly contest. That's not a "protest", that's douchebaggery.

I don't see what's wrong with "yes" or "no" answers. If the question is "Can elephants run faster than chickens?" then there wouldn't be much more to say than "yes".

No one's saying those answers aren't allowed, the question is whether or not they should be awarded a point towards contests. >_>

They are no more or less valid than explained answers, except where explanations are required, such as "why" questions. I think it should be up to the question asker.

While I agree with you Fermat, I believe that the concern stems from a flood of such answers at the end of each month. It doesn't bother me, but others find it distressing. As I noted above, perhaps we should be limited to one answer per minute.
