Do You Use The Ratings Button Everytime You Respond Back To A Discussion?

hi tina yes again I do as its becoming second nature to just rate as i read and respond or comment. so I wish everyone even newbies would also do that as I would like to get my blue star back as I had one once,now it the time for a new blue star. lol no really we all should rate as thats how we all get our reputations.yes it helps us to to know where we already have been too.

I like to rate peoples comments because it is nice and I expect the same thing back. I do it cause people take time in commenting on peoples discussions that rating them will help them...

I've been doing that since the first time I signed on to mylot.

I pretty well rate every time it comes up. When I respond or even come back to respond I will rate others' responses. I am not sure what it has to do with but I rate everyone good. I don't think I've ever done anything but rate it good.

I rate every discussoion I read. Even if I just read it and don't respond, I still rate it. I haven't given any negative ratings yet. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions even if I don't agree. I never have a problem telling if I have responded or not. I get notifications in my email and after I read or respond, I delete them.

Ratings are crucial to myLot society. You can't be active on here for long without taking notice of those little plus and minus buttons. The practice of rating does not slip my mind - rather I do not employ it on every response and discussion for another reason. For many questions and responses I feel neutral. The responses and questions are not particularity bad or particularly special, so therefore wouldn't it be wrong to rate them either? If I honestly feel neutral about something, how can I justly rating it one extreme or another? I don't want to harm the person's rating and at the same time I don't want to raise their rating for average effort. However I do find myself giving out pluses on most discussions - mine or not. People on here are prone to do quality and it is not hard to find the jewel of discussion. In that case I think why not reward the person who has done the most research or has the most thorough response? Bottom line: I don't rate everyone. I rate the responses and questions that catch my eye is extra effort or extra special. :)

That really is a great way to keep track of discussions you've responded too. I never looked at it that way... To your question, Yes I rate discussions and people's responses I really like, I do skip over some, which maybe a little off track..I try not to mark negatively, only if it is totally uncalled for... It would be nice to know how many do actually rate others... I even rate in discussions I don't leave an answer too as well, if it has had useful information.

I do not rate all of them. I do some of them. I usually do the good ones and skip over the ones that are not so good. Sometimes I forget to do it too though, but I do try.

yes I do. It's really just rating it but now that you mentioned it I guess it is also a good way to remind me whether I already responded to it or not

I have been using that button for years now! Yes, I sure do! I rate every main response I get. It is just a step I have gotten used to doing. I don't, however, always rate the people who chime in with their remarks depending on the situation. I wish everyone could do it the same way and not each member have a different slant on how they do it or feel it should be done.

No not every time. I think for me it depends on how the discussion strikes me. I have really not taken advantage of this system at all. Perhaps I should take more time and do that.

For me I don't take it for list because I only response the discussion I never do the topic to be discuss.

Giving ratings is a huge part of mylot. I think it helps us maintain the quality of discussions and also I think that helps the mylot admin to be notified of discussions that are prohibited by the guidelines. However, honestly, I really don't use this tool that much. It is because sometimes I am so in a hurry that I forget to do this. I have decided though that it would be better if I do this now since it is part of the mylot community. Also, since I enjoy the discussion, there's nothing wrong with giving it a positive rating.

I always use this button. So I think showing respect for people who have responded and what you read. Sometimes happen to forget but in most cases I use it. Use it and you. Have a nice day!

hi Tina. i don't usually rate people with their comments, or should i say, i usually forgot to do so. anyway, i know this is a reminder and i hope more members will do this more often now. have a nice day.

I had forgotten all about this. Thanks for reminding me.

Like you, I also forget once in a while. But I always use these buttons on my own discussions. I rate the responses that I get. This helps me track who put in really good ideas. This is very helpful when it is time for me to award the best responses. It saves time specially for the discussions that I got many responses.

Did not knnow about this can you tell me how to do this please.

Yes I am aware of the rating button in each and ever box with a response and or comment. I never forget to use it and always try to do my best to always remember. Every discussion I am, friend or not that I am in, I look for the signs of rating and do my best as well.

hello tina, I have the habit of rating people here on MYLOT.Sometimes it happens i open up a discussion & have nothing to write then also i rate people responses and i think people should use it.For me also this is good way of tracking it if you have previously responded to the discussion because if you have rated it just opening it on second time you will see it and easily know that you have already replied it.
