Rating Discussions, Let Us All Make A Habit Of It

Hello,trinidavelasco,I also have the habit to rate discussions when i reply to them or sometimes when i read some wonderful jokes,in addition to laughing myself,i will give them a postive rating because they are too good. I have alot of discussions to read everyday and i will be able to reply 30 or so due to time limitation,and i will reply to those which i think it is really worth to reply. I have also given you a positive rating to this discussion. Good luck.

I try to rate all the discussions I respond to also. I also only respond to those discussions which get my attention. I don't waste my time on discussions that are simple have no meaning or thought put in them. But I have been wondering about the (+) rating. What does it do for the person who wrote it or for the person who responded to it. Does it make a difference if you rate it or not.

i do respond to my discussions if i get a response and since i started i always mark all of them with a + sign because they took time dropping by but if i notice a really trashy response then i don't give them any mark ,i just let them be and don't respond, it is such a waste of effort.

i agree i have to remember todo that and at times i have forgotten , so thanks for the reminder also have to remember to select" best response".

I guess there are some people who don't even care to give us the ratings we deserve. Most of them are selfish or not aware that they have to do it. When I was a new member, I don't give ratings to my respondents but when I've read it's importance, I started to make it a habit.

I do agree with you to respond to discussions that has drawn our attention. It gives you more ideas of what to write. A mistake done in responding will be construed as not reading the discussion or responding rubbish, which will only invite negative rating. Go for something familiar.

This is so true. I have seen many discussions where there were many responses and the people took much time to respond back and everything yet there was no ratings given.

I make it a habit to rate the discussions I respond to with (+) because obviously i have found an interest in the discussion.I never rate discussions with (-) if its something i dont like i just dont respond.

I also make a habit of rating everything positively, with only a few strict exceptions: spam, off topic completely, or a stolen discussion. Sometimes I forget to report before hitting the minus, tho, and I've gotta stop doing that!

I always make it a habit to rate every discussion that I respond to also. I also rate everyone who responds to my very own discussions also. I give them enough respect back for answering me and I also respect themir discussions as well. I believe all of us should be rating each other. That helps all of our reputations here at Mylot. Members get frustrated when their earnings and ratings don't go up so if we all help each other, everyone will be happy and alot less members would choose to leave and more would stay.

I always give positive ratings nearly to every response I get in my discussions. Some I just leave unrated if its full of gibberish while those that I found foul definitely get a negative rating. I also do this in discussion I answer and some of its response by other posters. Anyway from my observation, only your given ratings appear on your screen. I only see that red "rated" note to the ones I've rated and not those rated by others. This is probably why you think myLot users don't give ratings.

I agree. I have to remember to do that and at times I have forgotten, so thanks for the reminder. I also have to remember to select "best response"

I agree with what you are saying. I have always made it a practice of mine to rate the discussions that I have read a + because of the time and effort that person took to write the discussion. I also like to rate the people who take the time to respond to my discussion a + as well. I think that it is the least we can do for one another to say thank you.

Yes, I agree with you. It is really a good idea. I haven't started my own discussions yet, I only give my responses to the discussions from others,but I also enjoy it.:) I wanna give my responses, because I like the discussions, it seems that I have the same experience like the people who start the discussions. I wanna share my opinions with him or her. In fact, if we regard mylot as a way for making earnings,we couldn't enjoy mylost well. It gives us the chance to make friends with people all over the world, and share the opinions with each other. We should cherish it. Try to respect others, give our positive responses to those who start discussions. If our responses are from our hearts, to tell the true feeling,more and more people will be in our sides. right?:) I hope that your discussions will be shared with more people.

This is a Good topic indeed. I know from past experience as someone else stated on here, it helps to keep you from answering the same discussion again as well. I know for me, sometimes I remember to do it, and then other times I forget. It depends on the amount of time I have to be in here sometimes. But Thanks for the reminder.

I always rate the discussions and the answers. It has just become habbit. I feel that if it has caught my attention enough for me to answer it, then it gets a + and I rate all of the answers + just because those people took the time to answer too.

Your way of responding to discussions is quite appreciable. Certainly only if a write-up maintain quality need it be rated a + .

Thank you for this one. I have made it a habit myself I rate all discussion good no matter if I agree or not. Hey we are all making an effort here and we all have differrent opinions. It is my habit. You have a good day

I always rate + to persons who answers my discussions.. It's like a payment for their effort of answering. I also rate discussions that I answered.

Hi, I have begun to get in the habit of rating discussions. However, I do not like to give a negative unless it is a rude or vulgar response. If somebody has a different point of view from my own, I certainly respect that. How do you decide to mark as positive or negative? cheers,
