Do you rate discussions and answers in MyLot?

Hi there and welcome to myLot. Yes I do rate and although not compulsory it is something that members are asked to do. However until you have 100 participation you cannot rate. It is also important you understand how to use it because abusing the rate system will also affect your own. I have only rated one member in my entire year here and that was simply because he was abusing a member for his difficulty with English. I often rate positive (+) and or (!) report button. The report button should be used in abusive situations so that admin can advise there after. The rating systme is not a voting system and neg rating someone simply because they do not agree with you is wrong. Please read here and learn how to use them, because I cannot stress the importance of it affecting you as well: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx In terms of earnings, yes a lower star will not earn for the same participation a higher star has, do read the above, because while you are accumulating your first star you would know what to enhance and or avoid. Best of luck and welcome aboard!

I rate posts although not religiously. sometimes i do and sometimes i don't. The plus and minuses affects the rating of the member and the ratings in turn affects the earnings we are accumulating, i don't know the exact calculation but what i know is that your ratings is directly proportional to your earning per posts.

I think it will affect their stars instead.. I usually rate them since they deserve to be rated - kind of thanks for answering my discussion.. I usually give thumbs up and not down, or just skip them if i want to rate them down.
