If you give people a negative rating, please remember that you dont give negative ratings to people just because you dont agree with what they have to say. Now, if thier reply is just plain rude, or has nothing to do with what your post is talking about, or even if the reply lacks in content those are what you might consider giving negative ratings.

I find it really sad that people on here feel the need to argue simply because they don't like someone's opinion. You know, everyone has an opinion and they are entitled to it. Not everyone has to agree. If you don't like it, don't respond. And to those that think it is cool to argue or it is going to make them more popular... get a life this isn't high school! I for one believe in honesty! If you can't handle the truth, don't post stuff on here and ask for an honest answer to beging with! That's my thoughts!

I often give a + rating to people I don't agree with at all as long as I believe they are voicing their opinion and they are really answering the question.
I do give negative ratings to people who are obviously trying to be rude in serious discussions and spammers who write a single word to discussions that are not yes or no questions.
I also give negative ratings and sometimes report for abuse, people who repeatedly post the same discussions asking for age, yes or no questions or discussions that are "rate me and I'll rate you". Those are not allowed according to the guidelines here.

I don't usually give people negative ratings, everyone is intitled to there opinion and just because it may not be something I like I can't fault them.

I never give negative ranking to anyone, even if i dont agree to anyone. Copy pasting someone else's topic is really bad.

I usally report spammers, and give negitives to one word ansers. I also do if it has nothing to do with the topic and I started it. Then I give negitives more but I would say 95% of the people who respond in one of mine get a positive.

I've never given a negative rating - I rate people that respond to my discussions as positive, along with other posts I like, and that's about it.

That is the way Mahatma Gandhi would have raected.Giving the best response to a person giving you a negative reading,good spirit.I also got a bad comment,but took it positively and gave a plus rating.Its not the end of the world!

i only give a negative rating if someone is being abusive, i agree with you it is not enough to give a rating just because you disagree with someone
