I feel bad about it, But jut let me explain why i did that.
In my second discussion he already make 3 post in a very short note, I send him a message; please just post 1 if you only making short notes, the result is the same and its making my discussion ugly.And i treatening him to give (-)rates if he does that again, and he reply that he won't do that again i was giving him 3(+)because he make 3 post.
But its really piss me of to see my 3th discussion he post 5 short notes!!!!!!! i got mad and rate him 5(-) in every post of his.
i do warn him before i giving the rate.
What do you thing about this?

I saw what you are talking about.... maybe the person thought that it is okay or that he would earn more if he does that... it is actually against mylot rules to do that kind of thing... it is like spam...
But in my case... i won't give him 5(-) ratings... i would have given him one or two more chances...

Wow, sometimes I'll accidently post a response twice because of computer lag or something. But never 3 or 5 times! And since he did do it on more than one of your discussions I don't think it is an accident!

You have the rights to do that. Don't worry, as long as you think that you're right, no one will against you.
I know you want your discussion to be interested, but if any bugs enter to your discussion and makes it messy, then everyones would do the same as you've done.

I actually had a guy harass me and I had to start giving him - signs because of his harassment, he finally backed off when his rating went down to 2 from a 9. Thank God he left me alone though. Don't feel bad though, it's what you're supposed to do when the replies are bad or offensive.

if he does it just to annoy you, he deserves the (-). personally, i don't know if the (+) or (-) affects the way our earnings are computed here. do you have any idea about that? or it is just a star with a number near our avatar. i'm new here but i really give a (+) for every post that i know helps with the discussion.

Yeah it does feel bad. But hey! You warned the guy already and it looks like he's making a joke out of it so I would say he deserved it. ^_^ It's also possible he's got no common sense so he didn't understand why you want him to stop doing it har har har. So stop troubling yourself ^_^ you did good.

i think you have every right to give him the negative rate since you already warned him and he still doing it... at least it will teach him a lesson not to do that again in the future... good on you...

I have saw your discussion. And i think this guy really don't know and he think by posting like that will make him a bigger earning. But i already warn him to not do that, at your discussion.

You did the right thing. You told him about it, and I have given minus points to those, well because I do not like to report people for being nasty and violating guidelines. I have not had to give minuses to my friends, as they have not done anything wrong and I know even when I disagree with them, it does not give me the right to negatively rate them. But that guy was trying to make money and discussions. You should not get paid for gooblygook. It is the same if I wrote an article and made a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes and expected to get paid for it. I would be cheating.

That's some kind of annoying habit of a mylotter. Sometimes we encounter some technical problems but it does not mean that it is in posting all the time. You're such a good friend because you have send him a note and yet he did it again. Well he deserve the punishment you've given.

Hi ericha! I, too will feel bad if I give someone a negative rating but you have done your part in warning him at first, so I think you did just right. I know that almost all of us want to earn extra here but we have to do our part in posting discussions and responses that are of quality. So, don't trouble yourself with it anymore because the good thing about it is, you have warned him but he didn't take you seriously. I just hope he will understand why you have to do that somehow for you are just being fair and true to yourself. Take care and have a nice day.

The only reason to neg is if they are trying to work the system (which could have been the case) or if the post seems to harass another member.
One problem I have with - is that its easily abused. Also posts that are a different viewpoint get negged all the time. The worst part is, other posts that are vile, attacking or just plain rulebreaking are let off the hook if they are rightly negatived or even reported.

I have never given anyone a negative rating if I don't like the post I just don't rate it. If he is new he probably doesn't understand.

I think you did the right thing! That guy probably thought that if he posts many small he will get paid money for them! Poor lad! Sincerely I would have reported him and with a little bit of luck he's account would have been suspended!
I think cheaters are the most pitiful guys I have ever seen! The only thing they are proving is that they're good for nothing!

You warned him hun, I guess it had to be done. I don't understand why some people do that here, it's pointless and just annoys other users
