Do you rate others? How?

I do rate as often as I can. In fact, rating others is a good move. Of course, let's be sensible, some posts just do not deserve any rating. Some do deserve negative ratings.

I usually try and remember to Rate everyone, especially New discussions I am responding back too, and posts that people make when responding back to one of my discussions unless I just don't get their posts. For me, I feel this is a way to show my appreciation for them being here, and taking time to be an Active member here.

I rate everyone also. I never give them a negative rating though. I leave that up to Mylot to do. I only give a positive rating to those who respond with a decnt response and not some off of the wall response just to be posting something.

I always rate every responder to my discussions. I rarely give negatives, but I will ignore/not rate at all if their response is somewhat irrelevant or doesn't make any sense. I also always give a best response after 1 week. I hadn't been rating on other's discussions. I guess I never really thought we were *supposed* to until a few days ago...lol. Then I started doing it more...mostly just hitting the good responses on discussions I join in on.
