Do you rate those who respond to your discussions? Do you rate at all?

I rate everyone positively + because I know that not all people will have the same thought or idea as you and there will be conflict. Therefore if someone thinks differently from what I think I dont give thema negative rate - it still is positive these other thoughts do make a discussion interesting.

hi underdogtoo i m also new here i always give a positive rating to all u respond maily as a token of appericiation tht someone has taken the time to read my discussion and answer my query this the least i can do..i am not really into the star gam bcoz i dont really understand the hirerachy of the stars except tht blue and red are good..if i do like a response very much i do mark a best response..have a nice day..happy mylotting star or no star..

I do try and rate everyone. I love to give out the pluses. I dont give negative very often unless they are breaking Mylot rules or just off topic completly. Like the ones who will hit on me hello not the topic people.

Iam also completely new and atleast you crossing 1000-1500 posrings and I am just crossed my 100th one.I admire all who are so fast in postings and I do have a question,only by discussions we can gain points?or some other way to?

Of course, I do rate people especially when they respond to my discussion.

As I read the responses in my email. I go to them and give most a +. I have never given a - and probably won't either. Every other day I will go through the discussions I have started and pick the best for "best response".

Well normally i would give a + to whoever respond in my discussion , unless they offended me in someway or are really rude and copying other people text and paste onto my discussion yea .

I always make it a point to rate discussions as well as responses to my discussions. I wouldn't think twice about giving a "+" for responses that really have substance. It is of course important that the responses are relevant to and are related to the discussion at hand. I tend to do away with giving a "-" unless the response given warrants such.

Yes, I rate anyone who comes by and comments on my disscussions. Pluses for everyone. I also rate discussions and comments where I've joined in. The onely minuses I would give would be if the person was rude, going against the rules, or posting a comment that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I do rate everyone who responds to my discussions and everyone who starts a discussion I respond to. I usually rate anybody who gives a really good response I see on a discussion. I think it's only right to read the responses and rate them when someone takes time to respond to my discussion, so long as it is pertinent to what I asked. I have yet to give a negative rating, although I probably should have tonight for someone who spammed a discussion that had nothing to do with the link he spammed. In the future I will. I rate everyone so the question of friends does not apply to me.

I pretty much give all of my responders a +. Never have I given a -. I try to respond to most, at least the first few responders unless they are repeating something another responder said.

well i'm also like you new to mylot and i'm so much into posting and responding to discussions that i forget to rate them...i'm also not sure whether it is going to make any difference....i'm totally unaware of the whole purpose of rating discussions..

I rate all of the responses in my discussions positively. I also rate discussions I respond to positively. (So those who are looking for blue star should be looking for me.) I don't really have a group of friends who rate each other positively, but I think most of my friends do rate posts positively. That is maybe the reason I got a blue star now. So why do I rate? I rate responses to my discussions positively because they contributed to the quality of my discussions. Why would I rate them negatively? I rate discussions I respond to positively because the reason I respond to that discussion is because I like that discussion. I would just be fair to rate it positively, right?

I had never asked a question because I am still new here.But if someone had responds my discussions,i am sure that I will rate them because it means that you had see their respond to you,then next time they will answer more about your questions.they can feel that you are friendly too.

I always respond or rate with pluses, all the time, when I first started in mylot there was no rating system, and when I finally saw the rating system I have been a 9 since forever it had started. I wish I could get to that nice blue star but I am sort of partial to my red star. It is okay, and actually red is my color!!

I rate sometimes,but get so busy trying to catch up with my responses. I ought to do it more and I will. Thank you.

I joined myLot two weeks ago and i've only started three discussions, but I have rated the responses to those discussions. I've only given positive ratings so far; I think the negative ratings with be reserved for the trolls and really unnecessarily rude people. As far as i'm concerned, if you take the time to respond to me and your comment is relevant to the topic then you'll get a positive rating from me. I haven't started rating other people's discussions yet though. I, like you, am still learning the ropes.
