I always forget to rate people who participated on my discussion. Does it affect my ratings as well if I don't rate them? Should I rate every comments?- I haven't read this on the guidelines, all it says is use the rating icon. What do you think mylotters?

All I know is – you don’t need to rate every comment or every post. There’s no guideline that says you should rate every comment. But if you like rating them, then do so as long as it contributes good reputation for mylot community – that is for (+). And you will use the (-) only if the comment/post contains unnecessary words that will affect or give bad vibes for mylot community. Um, actually I’m not sure with I said if they’re half true. But I know, a veteran will be here in a moment to clear that all out.

Actually this is my second time commenting on your comments, I just don't know why it won't let me published it, it says there are inappropriate punctuation marks. I have a slight feeling though about the rating thing. But since I'm not that sure so I needed some opinion from dear mylotters. Thanks for the comment! God bless!

@ leeandrew, I also experience the same thing sometimes. So what I do, I just refresh the page and then type in my response. Your response will then get through.

It happens to me too for some time. Jenny is right, just refresh the page and do it again. But to those who cannot copy and paste yet, sometimes when you hit the back button, all you have typed is gone. I experienced that before when I was below 500 rating.

No, you don't have to rate every posts. It won't affect your star reputation rating. The only thing that affect your star is how others rate you.

Looks like you're getting pretty good ratings from others so far... Mine is still lower than yours although I have participated more that you have...

Thanks, now I know for sure that I don't have to worry if don't give any ratings at all. It's not that I don't want to, it;'s just I normally forget and just remember it after going back to home again. How I wish dear mylotters will rate my comments generously :). I know I cannot please them but I know I have tried my best commenting.

Hi, ooh it's good to know that too. Actually I have noticed that too the other day when I have rated some mylotters. Yeah.. have read the FAQ's already. But with all the suggestions, comments and opinions I got from dear mylotters, I now understand it more. And yes.. I am now generous in giving a rate. Thanks again!

Your rating is not affected if you won't rate others' discussions, comments or responses. However, if you always rate them negative, you're in trouble. LOL. Don't abuse, It's better if you'll not rate them anymore. Happy mylotting.

hahahha. I know what you mean really. I just hope too that others won't rate my comments that way too.:) Let's all hope for a better Christmas payout and huge pay out next year too. I really hope that mylot would really inspire to the highest level. I'm hoping for a higher rank too and I do wish I get it the next month or the month after. At least mylot is giving me opportunities to set goals. hahahaha

I'm not mean, I haven't rate anyone negative yet no matter how his/her comment is. I think I would never do such as long as the comment is not degradable. Totally right better not to rate if you only rate them negative. Thanks for dropping by my post and thanks for the comments too. Happy mylotting.

Just like what they have said, I dont think that not rating the responses made on your discussions will affect your earnings, I have not rated any best response on my discussions and I have been earning a decent amount everyday.

Thanks, All mylotters that commented or participated on this discussion told me it won't affect my ratings at all. But I was advised as well that I need to give rate to fellow mylotters to help others level up their ratings. Good for you, but generous in rating your commentors too, with that you helped them co's for sure they have helped you too :).

Hi, yup! I know now that it won't affect my ratings at all as all of you guys are telling me. Yeah, I now rate comments too, I haven't use the negative sign though co's I just don't feel I need now. And I'm hoping I'll never use it. :) Okay.. I'll bear that in mind that I needed to help others level up their ratings. As the saying goes kindness begets kindness... so that I will do now here... I'll be kind enough to rate so that I'll get it too :) happy mylotting to you too.

Hi. I have rarely rated any comments that i got. Not because i don't want to but because sometimes my browser hangs when i do so.

i don`t think that your ratings will be affected if you don`t rate the person who participated in you.. but it is a good thing for them to rate them because that`s their basis of how well their participation in your discussion is..

Thanks neelia, I now know... mylotters are really generous in giving them in their views. At least with this kind of discussion a lot of mylotters will be able to respond specially those who are veterans in here.
