Its quite difficult to rate someone's response best as it might hurt someone else's feelings but one can rate all comments on their discussions positive or negative.so do you rate people comments?

I won't rate another user negative, unless they are rude and mean, then I feel they are worth getting a negative. I don't like rating negative at any time, as we are all trying to build up our ratings here and I want to help others to do so. I will also rate those negative that post referral links in their discussion, as that is definitely not to be done, and they certainly don't deserve a positive when they violated the rules. Now, on my own discussion, yes, I do rate most all positive, as I feel that their response is contributing to the discussion in a positive way. It like one user said though, that wse have to be careful we don't abuse the ratings system. We only hurt ourselves when we do that, but there again, fi someone deserves a negative then they will get it, and not because they disagree with me either, as we all have a right to our opinions, whether right or wrong, and we need to be respected for them. Take care, and happy mylotting.

Hi I rate most of all members who respond to my discussion positive and that includes opposing responses as an opposing response also makes for a great discussion. I do not rate negative, only but one time when a member was making fun of another members English and that cannot be tolerated. I also reported the member and sadly he was suspended as he was doing this repetitive. As for negative, do keep in mind that as per the guidelines abusing the negative rating will also bring down a members rating as well, and as well it should as just because I like chocolate and a member like vanilla does not mean I should be rated negative when the question for sake of example what is your flavor. How I select best response is that the one that grabs me the most gets, no favoritism what so ever, it can also be an opposing response. All another best responses in the same discussion also get a positive rating. Hope this helps and see you around the Lot.

You are very welcome and I came back to give you this discussion which was start a few days ago which will explain the positive rating as a reminder as many were truly confused. I actually though that we can only rate 11 total per day, as it is not listed anywhere what the maximum was and many members provide wrongful information. As it is, it is 11 - 15 per day per member that we can rate. Where many were always posting we can only do 11 a day. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2475625.aspx A lot of silliness took place but it basically gives you an idea of how and why people were not rating. Many thought why should they at all. Some actually said since you do not earn for rating what for. Have a wonder day/night.

Hi there akangirl!!! Yes I do rate peoples comments but most of the time I dont use the negative rate.I only rate those comments that I like with positive rate and when there is a comment that I think against my views I dont rate them.I want to avoid using the negative rate as much as possible coz I dont want to offend anyone or make any enemies here in mylot. In rating comments I think we should all consider many things.If a comment is against your views or ideas and if you dont like it I think it is better to just ignore it rather than giving it a negative rate.Well this is of course based on my opinion.

Yeah you are right even if the others opinion we shouldn't rate them negative instead its better to ignore as everyone is entitled to their own opinion. but those who abuses should be rated negative

Exactly! thats why I dont like to rate, But I think rating will add up to there earnings. If its very good stuff written not only for earning few cents then I dont have any problem to rate any discussion.
