Oh my I finally did it. wow wonder how.

HI Hatley ! I used to worry about it but now I don't. I gave a member a best response about a week ago and someone came back at me for doing it so quickly......I really think that is my choice. Not sure about he rating system. I 've never seen a % anywhere or am I half blind in one eye and can't see out of the other one !!?? Still I give positives all the time...never a negative at all. I stay at red 9 and guess I'll have to accept it........ Take care and when I can I'll give you a plus sign :) hugs,quita

It's stupid... Every so often, I see somebody getting knocked down because some idiot feels like picking on them, and I take it upon myself to try and help get their rating back up. Not that I can do much when you can only rate a person 11 times per day...

Hey, Hatley. I used to bowl. It always bugged me that one bad game could drop my average but it took LOTS of good games to bring it back up. I know it's a mathematical thing, but it still bugged me. Apparently, the same "rule" holds here. Let the trolls knock you down, it happens at once. Try to build it back up - it takes forever!! LOL

Hello Hatley, I don't think that one's reputation increases by marking others alone. It's only how others rate you, that makes the difference. With those many posts it's really nice to know you could increase yours by one point. You sure received many positive ratings to get up by one point Hatley! And i am also sure you would keep getting more of them, keep it up! I always rate my friends and everybody out here, hardly takes any time for doing it.

Hatley, I try to rate everybody. :) But some of my friends are so childish I struggle to get their numbers up, and there they go ... getting into controversies .... and getting negged. :) So at times, I do frustrate. :(

Ms Hatley, Hi! i don't usually rate. however, i am an avid reader with those posters having yellow and red rates!!

You rating others did not raise your star, but us knowing that you would really like a blue star may have affected it, if you know what I mean. I had checked you the other day and saw you at 91, so I figure the next one is in site soon.I do not rate, or tag as conscientiously as I used to, but I have certain people I always try to plus up a bit.

I too try and rate responses and comments. Sometimes, the discussion is also rated positive by me.Now I rated yours positive Hatley. My negative ratings have been very very few, almost negligible compared to the total number I have rated. I too am looking forward to getting my blue star but it has been lost for quite a while.

Hatley I have always said I never liked the rating system, it really doesn't mean anything, I'll reply to a blue as well as a yellow,, just ask lamby.. My rating however had been 94/100 ever since I came back, so I don't even think about it..

I did not know that it affected our earnings but I rate all the time. When I reply, I make it a point to "+" whoever started the discussion. When I reply I wait till it's loaded then take a few seconds to "+" everyone on the page that has made a quality reply whether I agree with them or not.

i dont know. most times i dont even notice until someone says something. then i look cause i wonder whats going on. if im below a blue rating if thats what you mean? i hardly remember to rate people either way unless someone is wanting to up their rating and asking me.

Hi again.Just to say that i do rate peoploe that reply to my discussions,you are one of the people that i do rate,i must say that you do get a plus every time i rate you aswell.I think that there are alot of people that do not rate other people on here,some people do not rate as they do not know that they can.I also give a best response,where as there are others that do not,i am affraid i am abit behind on that aswell as a few responses at the moment.However i have a question for you,i rate on everyone who has responded to my discussions,but i have read on one of your responses on here that there is a limit of 11 plus ratings,is that 11 for one person or can i rate all my responses.In other words can i rate 11 plus ratings in total aday no matter if they are to different people or the same.As i only give out plus ratings as i think that minus is an insult to a person that has been nice enough to respond.Help.Why do people keep changing their names on here,what is the point in that,as confussed.

I've forgotten this as well. But lately i've been rating everything positive. If i don't agree with the discussion i just don't rate it at all. It's better if every one here becomes a 10 at least we all earn more (according to the rumor ).

Hello Hatley yes we certainly help each other as you say, till today i have not rated anybody negetive, if i think the discussion is not good, i just skip responding, i see my star with a 10 inside since long, and i woe this to my friends only.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

From time to time, whenever I have discussions, I always give someone the best response award because I know it would help boost your earnings. But I am really not sure about the rating system. On how it works. I should be more familiar now and try to read the guideliness. :D

Hi Hately, I am happy to see your improvement in rating. I am always rating you whenever I go through your topics, replies etc. Sometimes I am not able to participate with your topics but I always make a point to rate you. Not only for you but for all people especially those people with a low rating, I will extend my helps to them. Then also some people are not getting much progress and I don’t know the reason. Congrats and keep it up dear.

I usually give most everyone friend or not a good rating if they did a post that was within guidelines and decent length or I liked the amount of details in their response as well. I have forgotten about looking to see what your % is, I dunno what a 10 sits at but I guess I'll have to snoop when I post this ;0)

I do rate most of the time, especially when I am responding in discussions. There are times when I am having fun or am passionately responding within a discussion, and I will forget to rate in the "heat of the moment" (not angry heat, mind you, but when people are just responding back and forth and debating or interacting at a fast pace). I read a lot on here, even when I do not comment on the responses. If I read a good response or comment, then I will positively rate it, even if I do not know the poster. There are people that I do not particularly care for most of the time, and I have still positively rated them, because they made a good point or were helpful with their response. I believe that is how the rating system is supposed to work, although I do not believe that many people us it this way. They might not negatively rate someone that they do not particularly like, but I do not think that they will positively rate them, either, even if the response would otherwise deserve a positive rating. Of course, that is just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

Hi, Hatley! Congratulations to you on the increase in your reputation! I want to rate others but I can't always remember it. Like you said, hurry on posting and earning. That's not good... And for myLot rating system, I just become suspicious about how it works. I had checked several owners of "highest rated discussion", but I didn't find their reputation rose. No ones' rose even 1. And my reputation rose always after I earned best response. Does BS affect reputation more than ratings? That confused me a lot.

Hatley, i do not understand what you are talking about. what about those stars appears next to your name? i want to hook one for me! God Bless
