Been here on MyLot for about a day. Does everyone use the little plus signs?

Hi Yes I always use the plus sign, this helps fellow members get their reputation. Obviously if the discussions are too bad I don't but the guidelines do say that we should use them. Welcome to Ciao, it's good to see a 'newbie' who has actually read the FAQ's!! I hope that you enjoy your time here and I look forward to joining in discussions with you

Hello welcome to mylot The plus (+) or minus (-) signs are the ways to rate your post (either discussions,responses or comments) by the other users, and determine if the post shows positive or negative impact on them. how ever, you can't negative rate on a post simply because you disagree with it. You will get a star (mylot rating, i think) when you reached you're one hundred post (100th). there you will know if the users had given you positive or negative on your post. good luck, don't piss on every one. have a great day

The '+' signs are a great way to control how other users respond to your discussions or any other discussion in general. If all the people use those rate buttons correctly, then the quality of the responses of all the people on myLot will surely go up as they would be more careful on what they say. I have noticed a lot of people continue to do their stupid silly business of spamming the discussion even though they are not really worried about others. It's a great way to control others and they will be self conscious that other users are rating them and they will be under scrutiny by many myLot users. bourne

Yes, I give + to a discussion or a response which I think good and on the track. I never use - though. For me, all the discussion and responses reflect someone's mind. So what if they wrote something off track, it's entirely their own decisions. By the way, welcome. You are going to learn a lot, here.

I use the plus sign when I can remember which is horrible I wish that their were footers so I could remind myself to leave a positive response thing... but yeah. Welcome to mylot! It's always great to see new people on here just willing to post away haha! -Wickedspies

hi jstewart, i mostly use the + signs for every discussion. i figure it can't hurt to give another poster a good rating if they made the effort to post an answer. so far i have never had to use the - sign. i think we are only supposed to use the - sign if the post is racist, obscene, etc. even if the post is short i don't think it is enough of a reason to give the poster a - sign.

Oops I never even noticed the thing. I signed up a while ago and only recently tried coming on here.

Yes, I use the plus sign. I also use the minus sign, but only when it's called for. If a post is good and of appropriate length then I'll hit the plus sign. I try to plus everything that I respond to and all the good discussion responses that come before me as well. I'll hit the minus sign when I think a post is off topic or absurdly short. It's okay to hit the minus sign as long as it's deserved and not just because you don't like the person or something.
