hi there, i never give negative ratings to anyone, i only give positive ratings or don't rate at all, i usually rate all positive and if i feel i don't need to rate i don't, there are some lotters who deserve lot more ratings then what i have now, for some reason or the other some lotters rated them negative

I give negative ratings for, disrespectful and insulting behavior, as well as, when you are answer something that has nothing to with what I asked. I won't provide an example for the disrespectful or insulting, pretty straight forward stuff. But, if I for my discussion said. Why do you think the sky is blue? And you answered well CJscott, some times people just smile too much. I may be inclined to rate you negative, and ask you to "listen" to what is being said. I am big on listening, in person and on mylot, because even in our reading, we may not be devoting our full attention to it, and end up answering something completely different, it is either that, or I don't speak straight... Thanks for your time, I appreciate you.

I have not gave any negative rating's yet, but there has been a couple replies where i should have. None sense posts like "World Of Warcraft is for nerds get a life". It doesn't help answer the discussion and is very annoying. Negative posts should be used when we have these kinda posts because otherwise no one else

~ hi there! yes, i have done it, but only twice because I really don't think we must rate the discussions negative, but these two were really disgusting and weren't something qualitative and informative, as one good discussion must be!~

well that's your opinion and that's how you feel about it then nobody can stop you by doing it. everybody here is free to do whatever as long as we have not violated the rules. well it's good that you have expressed yourself.

I do give negative ratings to the discussions, but it happens rarely. I press that "minus button" next to discussion only if it's a really bad or senseless discussion. Luckily I don't encounter too many of such posts daily.

If a user is obnoxious, rude and calls others names, then I will rate them negative, then I will report them, as that is what mylot wants us to do. I will mostly rate positive, as we are all trying to have good ratings here, and I want to help others as much as I can. There are others I won't rate at all if their posts aren't quality, and don't have substance. Tlhey don't deserve a positive rating, but they don't deserve a negative rating either. I much prefer to rat users positive, so I will do that as much as possible. good luck to you and happy mylotting.

i agree with you rosekiss, we all here to help each other to achieved a good reputation unless the discussion is really cruel and too personal then i will have to give him a negative rating but so far i had not encountered one.
