When you ask a question I see under your rep it posts your % accept rate. What is this used for? I think some people may feel put off answering a question if the person asking has a low acceptance rate. Is it to encourage people to remember to mark answers as correct?

  • I would also tend to think people answering your questions might shy away if they don't think you are going to actually select an answer eventually.
