Do you always push the plus sign when replying to others

If I am a responder, I will only give both + to poster comment and subject of discussion after the poster put their comment to my response. And put my comment, also rated + to their uploaded photo(if any). If I am a poster to the discussion, I will rate + for all responses as to respect and admire for their time, efforts and thoughts. Even though they had put up contra response to my discussion OR even bad words on me. To me that is called as fair and square. As we all are in one community. And we must understand that, we are in open discussion where people are freely to give their personal opinion. All of us are 'binded' with mylot discussion guideline. The meaning of DISCUSSION and not SEMINAR. Thanks, littlefranscan.

I push the + button most of the time, but sometimes when I see people not doing what they are supposed to do, according to the discussion guidelines, I push the - button.

Earlier I would forget to push the button and had to go back and do it later. But now I do it religiously before I reply so that I do not forget. I've done the minus just once when I felt that there was a violation in the rules but never when there has been a difference of opinion. Each one to his own. From most of the posts I feel that MOST of the people are not here to post something of value. I find very few posts that are of value and give me a chance to think about it.

I either push a plus sign or i leave it be, i see no point to the negative rating. If it breaks the rules I report it, if i think it has merit i give it a plus, otherwise i just ignore it. Also if i answer i give a plus because it has been good enough to get my attention. Selfishly, of course, it also allows me to see which discussions i have already answered

I always push the + sign no matter what, I think there has been only 2 times in the 10 months that I have been here and that person really needed to have a real big -. We are all here to have fun and make friends and a bit of money to boot we should not have to worry about who is not doing what and should we give them a -. It would be like in the real world if we went around putting a - on everyones forhead the world would a messed up place.

If it's a disussion I'm responding to I will give it a positie everytime. If it was good enough for me to respond to then it deserves a positive, I won't answer things deserving of a negative. I have handed out negatives to bad responses or discussions that violated guidelines...some get reported also. I don't do it often, just the most blatently bad ones.

Yes, I do always push the plus sign when replying to others here on mylot. It has actually become a habit to me. It's always a part of my ritual here. I not only do it when replying, I also do it, when others reply to my posts or when others comment in my discussions, or if anyone uploads a picture. I don't push the negative and I have never before. I agree, members who contribute, reply, post or whatever have tried to make/write something of value and is an effort the least we can do is rate them positive.

Yes, I pretty much always do unless someone is being offensive or abusive. I only use the minus in cases of extreme and blatent abuse, as in calling someone nasty names. And, unfortunately I think there are people who go around and do nothing but give out negative ratings; I have no idea what they get from it, but they must get some satisfaction out of it. Annie

I always push the plus sign for good discussions but have only once pushed the minus because it was accidental and was when I was a newby here. I really didn't know what they were for then but it is suprising how quickly you learn when you are trying to make a few friends and a bit of cash. I would hope that people don't push the minus sign just in spite.

Littlefrancis I have never pushed that minus sign. I believe that everyone is entitled to their opnion and even if they disagree with me it is waht they beleive so why mark them down for that. I do believe that would be cold and childish. I give everyone a plus.
