whats the idea of rating comments??

You won't get a star rating until you hit 100 postings. So how do you know that people are rating your comments bad?

I rate everyone who responds to me because they took the time to answer to me so for that reason I feel they deserve a plus (unless it is a simple yes or no to what I asked ) . I rate a plus for everybody I answer to because I feel that if I took the time to answer that they should deserve a plus for that and it also helps if you go back to the same discussion another day and can't remember if you answered to it or not , that way if you see it as rated you know you already replied to that post . Also I recieved an alert yesterday saying that people who were rated negative for no good reason would be penalized for this and that how we are marked is by others in MyLot not by one person who decided to be cruel . Hope some of this helps .

Perhaps you are being negative or you are just responding to the wrong people. Here is a positive rating for you !
