How often do you 'Rate' people?

I guess its true you learn something new everyday,because i never knew you could rate the users or there poste which ever your rating,well so i guess i will start when i see a good post.

I do the same. I usually don't remember it's there unless the post has really stuck out to me. I usually only rate users as positive, but then again, there are some posts that in my opinion are just not at all positive. The only time I ever rate a person negative is if they answered my discussion without actually reading the discussion itself, and answered off of the question. You can't always tell, but if you ask a question and mean something all together different, than it's easy to tell. I also rate users negative when they post their referral links in discussions, because they aren't supposed to do that, and shouldn't be awarded either.

Very rarely indeed, infact, now that you have raised it, l had better start rating people because,am a red star, if mylotters didnt rate me, I proably wouldnt be that high!

I try to remember to do this to every discussion I ever respond too. I also try and remember to do this to people who respond back to me in my Discussions that I have started, and if I am reading the posts in a discussion before I answer there if I see one I really like, I will mark it as well. I feel it is a Vital part of being a member here is Rating someone.

I check fairly often to see if I have given people plenty of time to respond to the discussions I have started. When I have, I will go through the responses and choose a best one for each topic, then I will also rate the other responses while I am there.

i usualy rate people if i either think that a post adds something, or its just a post that is not realy adding something. i dont really do the rating just becouse people respond, i try to check that the responses actually add something good to the discussion.

I always rate discussions and responses here in mylot... I give a positive rating to: 1. All those who response or leave a comment to the discussions that i started... even those that are completely opposite to my opinion... 2. those who leave a comment to the response that i make to their discussion... this gesture will make me feel like the member really cares about his/her discussion... and it is not for the sake of starting one... but to generate a healthy and good discussion... 3. All discussions that i think are well thought of and thought provoking...

I try to rate everyone that post to my Questions. I give positives to almost everyone. There are some people that are so out in left field without a glove that I give them a negative. Also when I respond to a post I will go through and rate the people that post there also.

I rate after i read there responsed or comments. And i give automatically a(+)positive rate all who answered my discussions. Sometimes i make rate a topic even i will not answered it.

I tend to hit the + most of the time as that is what controls the star rating. I even hit it for the responses that are not well written as there are a lot of non english speakers here, who have trouble expressing themselves in English. The only time I hit - is if the response is nonsense or someone going on about Jesus or god in a discussion that has nothing to do with religion.
