Ask GBATEMP has two purposes:
1) allowing people to ask questions and letting members of the community provide clear and direct answers
2) at the end of the day it's also a "FAQ" (Frequently Asked Questions).
If you know the answer to a question, you are welcome to share your knowledge with the community. You too can help build the big FAQ that will soon constitute Ask GBAtemp.

It's partially because they want a higher "best answers ratio" probably, but also because they want to help. Since this works like a F.A.Q. as well, you can ask a question, and answer it immediately so that other users who are wondering can get the information.

It has nothing to do with best answer ratio as you can't see that publicly.

"You also get a 'Best Answers' ratio which is based on the amount of useful answers you've posted. There is no need to try and improve your ratio for the sake of it, as your ratio is completely private and is never displayed publicly."
