I've noticed this from others also. This is a matter that Admin. needs to resolve. I suggest you send your findings by email to the administrators.

That's an interesting question, sabb4. I have to wonder though how you know Akanetuk does that. It's certainly not a "crime" in the strict sense, as I'm sure you know. Also, if Akanetuk just copies information from a prior answer to a question, the most credit he or she could get is an insignificant 100 points.

I'd welcome more particulars: just use the link below.

You very likely know that complaints may be directed to Help Owl administration using the Contact Us link at the bottom of the main page. Sad to say, however, you may not get a response.

(I've complained repeatedly to Help Owl administration that "Unhelpful" assessments are given far too much weight in determining acceptances. Perhaps your issue will prod it to consider that deficiency more seriously.)

how can he mark the answer as unhelpfull the correct it by giving the same answer as the one i provided. he once marked my answeras unhelpfull then provide a blank link. according to me, a blank link is unhelpfull.
