When do you rate anyone ? Any reason ?

I always try to rate people who's topics I respond to. I will also usually mark a few good responses in topics that I reply to with a plus when I am reading through the topic. I also love to give out plusses to people who reply to my topics! ^_^ I think that it is good manners to do so, and I love handing out plusses because I feel that they help others to earn. I hardly ever hand out minus ratings because I just don't feel good about doing it at all. The few times that I've done it, I've done it because someone answered something like yes, no, or I don't know. Those short answers are not really accepted by Mylot, in any case.

When I respond in a discussion I always rate them (+).For negative discussion I don't even want to respond.

I rate someone with a + whenever I see a discussion or an answer that is really good. I give - to whomever tries to manipulate the others and their discussions, or if the answers given are beyond of politness etc. I don't accept bad behaviour. It's ok to have different opinions but we are supposed to be civilized.

I do the same thing too, when I respond to a topic, I make sure that I rate everyone that responded as well.

I rate everyone positive and I do it immediately after seeing the reply, comments or discussions.

if i want the discussion and very interesting i have, i am giving + rate. I dont know whats the purpose of this rate, i am just doin it. yay
