"Best Response" not the best myLot tool

Tweet

I enjoy nearly everything about myLot, but I still think that the "Best Response" tool needs a lot of work. Here's why: First, I think it's hard for everyone to decide when it is most appropriate to designate a "Best Response." If you do it too early, perhaps a better response will come along. Or perhaps someone with good advice won't even bother responding because of it (I'm sure there are people on here like that). If you do it too late, you risk the topic going cold and falling away. And again, you risk non-response. Rather than attempting to figure out Best Response ettiquette, I think most people on myLot would just prefer to not do it. That isn't good, since it seems we get some kind of compensation for providing the best response in a discussion. I'm no myLot genius, but I was thinking it would be cool to combine the ratings (+,-,!) and the Best Response options so that readers could have a say in which response is the best. Ultimately the discussion starter should have the most say, but it would be nice if there was some peer evaluation involved. I don't know though. Has anyone else got any ideas? Any complaints about the Best Response option? Let me know what you're thinking cause I'm very curious.
