Fuad Yahya Jan 29, 2006:
I have removed your unintended "offensive question" note. The not-for-point designation is perceived by many as a sign of ingratitude. Most anserers do not consciously think of points, but when you pointedly indicated no-points, it sticks out as uncool.
Waleed Mohamed Jan 29, 2006:
Dear Suhayla, most of members try to get Kudoz points by answering Kudoz questions. When you mark your question as "not for points", members may be discouraged to answer the question. Kudoz points shown on a member's profile is a sign of professionalism.
suhayla1 (asker) Jan 29, 2006:
First of all, these terms are not regarded as offensive.; maybe wrongly i marked this one click.
second,theres is no difference for me if i choosed for-point or not-for-point, in the two cases i will have to select the best answer. sometimes i prefer only to select the answer without grades.
regarding the context, i said that i have only terms not included in any given text. some of them are used in some cities, and some other courts dont have counterparts in the system of their low. i want to know the equal term provided with its explanation if it is not clear.
A Nabil Bouitieh Jan 28, 2006:
Agree with Nesrin and Fuad too.
Fuad Yahya Jan 28, 2006:
And where is the context?
Nesrin Jan 28, 2006:
1) How can this term be regarded as offensive by anyone?
2) Why the "Not for points" (again)? You don't have to pay anything from your own pocket you know.. ;-)
