Do you rate myLot discussions?

I only rate them if I find them interesting. Don't want to give anyone a - because I am sure it somehow hurts ther star power or maybe earnings.

I rate nearly everyone with a + Its only one word answers or really stupid answers that get a - All these + and - do make a difference to our star ratings so thats why everone should take the time to do this.

I've never had a problem deciding whether its a + or -.Most of the time I go into discussions which deserve a +, so that's decided. I rate every single discussion I respond to. I read it first, then rate it and then proceed to responding to it.

i try and rate them with honesty, if i think it's silly or mad i will rate it - but not all the time and if i think it's great, i will rate it +. i try not to leave it blank tho!

I used to rate discussions...but not always...only when i see the discussion is worthfull.

I definately try to rate all the comments on the discussions that I've started. Usually I give a + unless the comment is really unrelevant to the post or it's just something like "I agree". I try to rate on all the discussion I read but it's just so time consuming! I like to think what goes around comes around ... so hopefully i'll be + someone and i'll be getting one back. Good luck!

Yes,I rate on the page where I end up after I've posted a response.. and I always go back to the discussion list page I'm using at the time, so I also rate on the 1st page of the discussion I posted a response to.. This sometimes gets me involved in the discussion again, responding to a response.. :))

Exactly because of the same confusion, it is very difficult to decide or rate the discussion, so I never rate the discussions. Also I do not want to give anyone a negative rating as well. So better leave the ratings but select the best response, that is something possible.

Someone said that if a discussion is good enough for you to spend your time responding to, it is good enough to give a +. I agree with that perspective. That is not to say that in that same discussion someone might say something silly, or negative, so that within the + discussion, I might see someone to rate -. I might even see someone who is abusing myLot rules, and copying and pasting responses, and then I will use the third option,!, and cheerfully tell myLot what I have observed. The other nice thing about rating the discussion you respond to is that if you happen upon it three months later, and do not remember it, the fact that it will say "rated" will remind you that you did. So unless I really goof up, I will rate every discussion I reply to.

still i am not using to rate any discussion but yes i will make BR which answer i like most .

I always give people a plus unless their discussion is absolutely awful. I do not want to hurt other people's chances at making money. They may be as poor as I am. By the way, I always like your discussions and give you a plus.

I rate all my answers, but I only give out the "-" to those posts that have npthing to do with my discussion, especially the rude ones (the "I dont knows" and "why did you ask this", etc. just to get credit for answering). Even if I disagree with the answer, I still give "+" as long as its pertinent to the topic.

Yes I do rate them I think it is an important thing to do. Your helping yourself and others also to make their ratings high.

I have always rated every discussion as possitive. I feel like if someone takes the time to read what I have written, and give there opinion, It deserves a +. It may not even be what I agree with. But, everyone is different and everyone has an opinion. I am greatful for all the opinions I get. I have given only one negitive opinion and that was when some one was talking about killing someone and getting by with it. That one really turned my stomach and I refuse to even read this persons discussions or comments. this is just my opioion. LOL

I try to rate my discussions as well...the staff says that we shouldn't feel like we have to rate them all; like you said, it's sometimes difficult to figure out what you should rate them and when it comes to that, mylot says, just don't rate them. Hope that helped a bit.

yes, i rate them and also choose the best response, although it is difficult sometimes, but i still think i should chose one, and the second best response i rate it (i have discovered it a day before only).

I generally rate discussions to which I contribute positively. If i am responding to a discussion, this means that the discussion picked up my interest. I also, rate some spam discussions negatively. spam means a one-line discussion.

I have not tried till now to rate any discussion but i will from now on try to.Yes it's quite difficult to rate with only two extreme options.

I rate the responses that I get for my discussions, and follow certain criteria for rating them. like, if I get one liners or abusive responses, or responses with adult contents, then I simply rate it "-". Also sometimes I comment on such responses, so that the mylotian makes a more detailed response. But when I get some good responses, which are detailed and exceeds 4 lines, then I always mark them "+". On getting more than 10 responses per discussion, I rate one of them 'Best Response'.

Too bad there isn't a third choice. It could go something like this; 'positive, negative, and neutral'. Though as there are only the two choices, if it isn't "bad", I try to remember to give a positive anyway. Shoot, now I have to go back and see if I rated all of my discussions! LOL
