Have you ever rated the comments of other myLotters?

I just gave you a (+) rating for that! I have just started giving ratings today. I have not noticed it previously as I was having a lot of things in my head. Maybe that should be the guideline, if the response given is related to the initial discussion then I guess giving a (+) rating is great. It not only show appreciation but also this boost our morale because it means that our thoughts are being valued. :)

well yes,it really helps as way of gratitude of answering our discussion it gives them positive that uplift their self and gain more confident by sharing a lot of things that made to answer our question.happy mylotting.

Yeah, I have just rated all the responses you made. When I first joined Mylot, I hardly noticed this '+' and '-' sign. So I didn't rate for others. Until one day I came across a topic discussed about this rating. From there I started to rate . I think it is something to be used for the reputation. The more + sign we receive, the good reputation we have.

Thank you for sharing information about how star works. Do you know how much post we need so we can also have a star rating? I would like to get that status too. Based on your response, it seems like the uniqueness of the post will allow us to earn more other than having the same discussion that others have started earlier. I guess I really need a lot of reading so I can earn a better status and prosper here at myLot. :)

Sorry for the delay but for some reason I am not receiving notifiers today I am pleased you tested the ratings as it just confirms what happened almost two months ago when myLot decided tolisten to us and alter the rating system so that it could not be abused. New users can rate others once they reach 100 posts. We can ALL only rate each user for a maximum of 11 times in each 24 hour period. This is to try and stop abuse of the system. Please ask as many questions as you wish, even through PMs, and I am happy to help where I can. There is a lot of reading here in this link but it is a discussion started by a member of myLot staff some time ago where we all asked questions. Maybe you could bookmark it and go through it a bit at a time as it is extremely interesting reading : http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1402356.aspx

Hmm I tried refreshing the page and the box with the plus sign still appear after that. Does it mean that the rate does not take effect? Or it is its normal behavior. Newbie here, sorry for asking a lot of questions. :)

I don't think that hitting the rate button would cause them a burden. It only take a second or two! But, to each his own. I have a wide amount of time to do it, so why not rate them as long as their responses are in relevance to my initial discussion. I appreciate that you're one of those folks that takes time to rate our co-myLotters. Good job! :)

Thank you for commening on this discussion TrvlArrngr. I also rate people's comments as long as they are relevant and informative in nature. It's a way of showing appreciation for me. I love the thought of sharing and I think giving suggesetions, advises and comments because in a way, people can learn from it. :)

I must agree to that. It's a way of showing appreciation. Participating alone takes time and hiting that small button is simple so why not hit it! But as I said from my other post, as long as it is not irrelevant to the topic. :)

That's what I also do irene. Whenever a myLotter drop a line or two on my discussion of interest, I visit their page and check the discussions they have started. When a particular topic sparkle my interest then I would read through the messages and respond to it. For me it's also a way to earn friends here! :)

Yes. I agree with you that one way to gain friends is to answer back to their reponse on your posted discussion.

That's how my guidelines for rating every comments and responses being given to my discussion. However, in one case I have given my "best response" rate too soon. I hope that every good rating or best response we give has an equivalent $. :)

One myLotters here said that we should read the guidelines so we can have a better understanding how it works. She's a pioneer here and I believe she very well know the do's and don'ts around here. I hope I can share what I will read on the next days to come. Thank you for dropping by here on my discussion. I hope to hear more thoughts from you. Have a good day or night :)

Well, I guess rating really depends on the person's perspective. Others are appreciative and would rate just by receiving a response on their topic and others have a lot to consider before giving it away. If it's not against the rule, then why not give it if it will affect the discussion in a positive note. Just my 2 centavos, amigo! :)

Hi rosekiss! Thanks for your valuable input on this discussion. For me, as long as their comment, suggestions and responses are unique, relevant and suggestive in nature, I can give them a positive rating. Goodluck to you too. :)

If the user commented an off topic, that means that he/she is not well reading the discussion. I would give a negative rating too if the response is irrelevant to the main objective or topic of discussion. Thanks for your input regarding this. :)

It's interesting how each of us have our own criteria for rating. But yes, only those who gave great comments should be graded with a + rating. I hope that you'll get more ratings too from other co-myLotters. :)

I think that every response related to the topic should be rated with + rating. Just my 2cents. Don't worry, you have yet to receive it. Just keep on participating to the discussions of your choice and you'll soon get the star rating as the best respondent! :)

I definitely agree. However, my rule of thumb for giving a negative rating is that if his/her response is very rude. Off topic can be forgiven but rudeness, I don't think so. We should show respect to co-myLotters. After all, we're here to have fun and have friends. :)
