Do you rate discussions?

I dont think many people would bother to do so and am not happy with rating thing if it affects the earnings of users.the judgement of earnings should be done by the website people and it shoudnt lie in the hands of the users.suppose we dont agree to a discussion posted,and write down something against that,it will make the person creating the topic unhappy and he/she will definitely give a negative rating.for getting positive ratings we have to be goodie goodie all the time.But then there will be no fun if we dont express ourselves.

I have never given a negative, and I only give positive ratings to responses that I happen to believe are outstanding. Different people will always have different methods for using the rating system. I try not to abuse it so that it can retain a semblance of importance. I am not sure how it affects earnings, but many people on myLot do use the rating system. Recently, my rating has been reduced somewhat. I think that some members have disagreed with my comments or point of view and acted accordingly. The best strategy to maintaining a high rating is to avoid controversial or political discussions. You can't control how others perceive your comments but, if you worry too much about the star with the number in it, you may find a greater degree of frustration on myLot. Happy myLotting.

I always rate responses and I rate them positive. I believe, whosoever takes the time and pain to respond to my posts, deserves to be rated as positive.

I do occasionally. I always forget to. I dont really have a rating system. Just if I think that the discussion was well thought through I rate it positive, if the person is being rude or something like that I'll rate negative. I hardly ever rate negative though. And I've never put the exclamation point.

I actually don't rate other people's responses, I only rate everybody positive that replies to my discussions. I would only give them a negative and report if they are using inappropriate words.
