Do you click positive and negative ?????

I used to have this kind of discussion before but it seem not bother others... to me, I always rate first before I start to respond. Rating is for point that you will get and it means a lot for each one of us but no one seem to care... but any way, I got you positive :)

I do rate other people's comments and responses but I seldom do that. I only rate responses or comments negative only if their comments or responses are kinda rude.. I hate that. Everyone is welcome here on myLot, right? Everyone is born as an individual so they should also respect other people's opinions. As for the positive ones, I seldom do that but I do rate those sensible ones. Happy myLotting!

I have been here for years and I don't think to use the "+" or "-" unless a discussion moves me.

I guess I'm one of the veterans. LOL And as a veteran I still rate discussions. Though I normally rate with a plus instead of a minus. Even if I disagree with what was said I will rate it a positive. It is very rare for me to rate discussions/responses with a negative. In fact, I haven't done so for some time now. Another fellow mylot veteran pointed out that when it comes to discussions we should always rate them, especially if we respond to them. It's one way to keep track of discussions we have responded to. Happy mylotting!

Well, for me, I just rate positively on every discussion that I participate in as well as all the replies and responses that I get in such posts that I give in any discussion for that matter. I also rate positively anyone who finds time to participate in discussions that I myself started. That's the least I could do for their efforts anyway (^_^ )

I do the rating in the discussions I start or I respond. Mostly I look for positive discussions and rate them +. I rarely rate negative. But I rated one or two discussions negative as they looked just non-contributive and not agreeable. Otherwise, I just read the entire discussion and rate + the best responses.

This is an important discussion. I think we must all rate to keep p with the system. The star colors, ratings follow that. As for myself: 1. I rate POSITIVE the discussions I am going to respond to. That is just after reading through and deciding to respond on it. 2. I rate all my responders POSITIVE no matter what. 3. I remember on a couple of occasions rating negative and even reporting when the user went overboard with apartheid and hate speeches. Thanks.

To rate is part of our participation here and that is also the requirements of this site. I have not failed in my duties to rate others as far as I can remember and before I forget I rate first before I put in my comments and it is always positive. For those out there do not fear going to my discussions for you'll always get a good rating from me regardless of agreeing or disagreeing to my topic. But the only thing that would not benefit from my positive rating are those who are offensive and put curse words in their responses and also those spammers. I will not have second thoughts when I minus them cos they don't deserve to get one. As for those stars, they are there more as decorative items and a challenge for members to get to the highest star rating. But from my observation and experience they are really valueless but of course there is prestige being in the blues. But not all the blue holders deserve having one as you can see how pathetic their posts are. Heaven knows how they got there. But tell you, we might have admitted the wrong people in our friends list as I believe they are wolf in the sheep's clothing. They never response to any of our discussions but are stalking us to rate us negatively for their personal satisfaction. These are people without capabilities and are jealous to see others progress. You better start downsizing your list and delete those who don't deserve to be in your list. I say this not without basis. I have every reason to believe that am a victim of this hate attitude and maybe you are also same like me.

I stand guilty. I usually dont grade a discussion and just carry on. I suppose I can help somebody by grading. Does our grading a person affect his earnings or star ratings. If so, I'll try and be more careful. I have never rated anybody negative, but to rate everybody positive is also not fair, or is it.

Hi Rajib, Soul! What a great thought? No, I am not that kind of a person who believes in negative rating. If you are the one who is getting my response or comments then you can be assured that you will be gettiong a + from my side and I only respond to those discussion which I understand and like. Hence I give rating for discussion but not for a user based on star color!

Hi Rajib! I have just got into the habit of rating discussions and comments etc. I used to forget all the time but I am now doing it almost every time. I usually respond and then I go back and rate. I generally rate positive unless there is a reason not to. Unfortunately of late there have been a couple of nasties, but all in all I think most discussions have their good points and deserve a +!

Yes, I always rate a positive and a negative in my discussions. If I like the responses I rate positive and if the responses insulted me or directly criticize my personal opinion and not sticking to the topic, that's when I rate a negative mark. Some responses are ridiculous because it did not address the real topic.

Thanks for writing this, I did notice that plus and minus thing the first time I came to the site, but then I totally forgot about it. Thanks a padload, dude.

I am SO glad you posted this. I just started on mylot last week and I had never noticed the positive and negative symbols! There's so much to learn about this website. Thank you for sharing this!

Hello, I give positive rating to every discussion i go on because something caught my attention to read the discussion.

I hardly ever rate negative because I don't like to be rated negatively so I don't do it to others either. :) There are some rare cases where people are just rude or offensive. When that happens, I will probably rate them negative. Most people will do that I think. I do however rate a lot of posts positively! I know how much fun it is and how happy it makes me when my ranking improves! It makes you feel appreciated, and therefore when I think someone's post is good, I will give that person a postive rating. I don't really care that much about my star, but I just enjoy knowing people like my posts!

hi i do give ratings to the fellow mylotters.and i never rated anyone negative. and i have always given a positive rating.every person has their own views and opinions and i feel that we should one's feelings. and i also feel that giving a positive rating will boost up the person. happy mylotting

I usually rate positive. In the discussions that I reply, I usually rate the discussion starter and don't bother the the other replies unless their are few that replied to the thread. On my discussion opened, I rate everybody a plus. I only rated people a minus if they are insulting people in mylot and doesn't respect the opinions of others. Also I rate a negative rating if they put adult sites in mylot. :)

I am a new user and i myself have experienced it, the details mentioned in the FAQ section are not that vivid...there should be a clear description of what exactly make u eligiable for earnings and how can one increase his/her earnings

I think i'm too busy to actually do so.. sometimes if its good I do..
