Hi guys! I'm new here. I'm kinda confused on how the rating thing works? Is it the +, -, ! signs? If i start a discussion, does it mean that i could automatically rate a response? Help!

You can rate someone for their responses whether you started the discussion or not. Also in discussions you did not start you can rate those as well. You can also rate images. Now a + gives a positive rating, a - gives a negative rating and the ! is to report them. You report a discussion or response for violating the guidelines. If you need to report do that before giving a negative rating because once you give a + or a - the rating option disappears.

Your responses and discussions get rated with + and - by other Mylot members and you can rate the responses you read on Mylot.If you go through the Mylot guidelines ,it will help you understand how the (+) , (-) and ! are to be used.You will see a star over your avatar once you reach 100 posts.The star is assigned based on (+) and (-) your responses receive i.e your popularity on Mylot.I am sure you will have a good time here.Never hesitate to ask if you need help.

hi friend wellcome to mylot.com, i am read your problem in your discussion ,the + and - sign is can be used for the other people for example if you like a discussion of any body then you give you a + rating by which that user get more point in mylot.com and if you donot like any body discussion then if you klik on - rating then there point are less. so friend never use negative to the other . user . do your best then you get best bye
