MyLot rating

myLot does have a policy on rating, so I'm sure it affects both the rater and the ratee. You are supposed to give low ratings to comments or responses that are not following the topic, but I'm sure people will abuse it and rate opinions they strongly disagree with. ((which is against the rating policy)) I give positive ratings for responses I like. ((which is like agreeing with them, which isn't in the policy)) I always give positives to people who respond to my discussions 'on topic'. I also give positive ratings to the discussions/topics I like... I figure "if it got my interest and I wanted to reply... it was worth rating". So your rated +

This reponse is based on reading another similar discussion, so I can't be 100% sure of its accuracy, but I'll try my best. A negative or positive feedback rating effects the person being rated in a negative or positive way, respectively. (I believe that there are cautains taken/tools used to ensure that one person is not rating the same person the same way all the time, etc.) If the person rating is always rating negatively, however, I believe it has an impact on their rating as well, so as to prevent people from abusing the rating system. I've just recetly starting understanding this myself-and I usually only rate the "good" or positive responses because even if someone is rude or offensive, I don't feel better by "getting back at them". I just move on-there's so much more to do here anyway!

I think it will affect his earning.But how far?--i dont know.But there wont be anything for the part of who rates it.People who have been here for long time can give answer for this and it will help mylot members like me.

I rate responses to other discussions with a positive (+) if I think the person has given consideration and thought to their response. Similarly I give a 'best response' to a response for discussions I start and others which are good I give a positive (+) to. So far not given a negative (-) to any discussion although a couple of times I would have liked to but decided it is a bit harsh to do do when so many other members obviously have responded to the discussion. I believe it will affect the rating or else why would we be given that option. I have no doubt that there are checks and balances to see that nobody is given a rating unfairly or by the same person all the time. :)

You get a point and the other person you are responding to his comments also gets a point too

I just joined mylot, and I was wondering how do I get the rating symbols on the side of my posts. I see everyone has the symbols by their post.

Really no ideas on that but I think since they allocate for "best responsed " there must be some reasons...probably you will few extra cents for either way it take.

I don't know the impact it really has but I'm sure it has some kind of effect if it's there.

We need an correct answer for everyone.
