Do You Give A Negative Rating For Fun

Actually, I don't think that many people "rate" anyone. All those little things take time. Ratings, tags, best response, etc. etc. and some choose to just ignore them so they can earn more by posting more. I believe that all those things help a little to increase your pay on mylot. Giving anyone a negative rating just for fun makes no sense to me, but then their are some pretty simple minded people in the world.

No. I seldom give negative ratings. I only give it if the response was really offending and even if I wanted to report it, technically, they weren't really offending anyone but it's just the way that they phrased their answers that was a little bit offending. I also gave a negative rating to a guy who copy-pasted one of my discussions. I forgot to use the "!" button.

I give everyone a positive rating. I have only gave a bad rating a couple of times. That is when the stuff was just nonsense to get points. I do think some people give a negative rating if you do not share the same point of veiw as them. I enjoy the different points of veiw on here. I give a positive rating even if you disagree with me. Giving a negative rating just for fun would be mean and childish.

Kukkad, I have checked some of your topics and responses and I cannot understand why anybody would want to give you negative feedback. You alway post good topics and you also post quality responses. I rate almost everybody a plus and if I think they deserve a negative, then I just don't rate them. We are all part of the myLot community and we should be striving to help each other in any way we can. I will have another quick browse through your discussions and responses and I will rate them a plus and I will also give you a plus for this one to help restore you to your former glory.

I really wouldn't worry too much about your star rating. It is all worked on an algorithm and fluctuates quite a bit. Just keep posting and enjoy yourself.

I do not do anything for fun. The things I do i must have a reason for doing it. I also do not rate anybody responds for fun. I am a serious person when doing things. I don't play a fool of others.

I can count the negatives I have handded out on my one hand. I only do it when someone is breaking the rules. Otherwise I give them a +. I am one of those that always rate though. The people that ansers in mine are more or less likely to get a plus for each post (unless they break mylot rules) and by getting best response their rating also goes up. I also rate most of the discussions I answer to =) I think that it is important!

No I seldom give minus rating. If I do not find any comment worth rating, I leave it as it is and just to other comments/topic. Minus rating I give only in such condition where commentor has made joke/fun, I mean wrong posting. This is discussion site one should make it a place of joke. I started with 7 star rating and now I am at 8 since 45 days. No increase or decrease is observed.

I rate people but I only give them a "+". I actually can't bring myself to give someone a "-" these days. So even though I feel they deserve it, I just don't rate them.

I would honestly never give a bad rating for fun, i mean this is something that may get someone angry, and i do not like to do this. Something you should do is not rate them if you just feel you should neg. rate them for fun. Just forget it and don't rate them at all. I would never do such a thing! I most ly positive rate, unless the post if really really horrible

That would not be a nice thing to do. This is not a site to play games like that. The star does fluctuate sometimes as one of the other responses have said. Don't worry about that. I am here to read the discussions and read the interesting things people say.

seldome. i often give positive ratings to others. when others post theri discussins on mylot.

No. i never do that. and i can never think that anyone will do a thing like that. that is a very nasty thing. people are serious here. i know how much i appreciate everyone that is rating my discussions with a positive rate. I always rate a discussion. and i never give a negative rate. if i feel that there are people that are making fun or abusing this site, i will report them, without hesitating.

i never give negative ratings even when i disagree with someone. in fact, i rarely give out positive ratings. i did it before, thinking that i would get paid for it but i dont think that is the case anymore so i have stopped doing that.

I for one do not rate a person negatively, for fun as you say, or just because they have a differing viewpoint. I think that is what makes for interesting discussions. We can't and won't all see things the same way. Others shouldn't rate you negatively based on that. The only reason one should be rated a -, in my opinion is if they are abusive, use foul language, give a simple yes or no answer, or break any of mylots rules, including copy and pasting without giving credit to the original source. I know many of my friends feel as I do on the subject of star rating. Unfortunatly you will always have those that mark a - because they don't like what you say. It is really sad. Yes, I think we have all experienced it at some time. I'm sorry this has happened to you.

I that is not a fun at all.. first this can make some reputation get busted and it may have an affect to their motivation in making post. Plus, this could hunt you back. Just put yourself on the shoes of someone who got that all negative rating. As much as possible I only rate positive and if I don't like the response I just ignore it.

I don't, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were people that do. My rating went from 99/100 to 92/100 all in one day, and then it dropped to 89/100 the next day. I didn't do anything to anyone, I'm always nice, and my rating had been the same for months. So I'm not sure why it suddenly dropped. Either I offended someone inadvertantly, or people were just giving -'s for fun.

I think some people here do that, I personally have better things to do with my time ;)

i would never do that. somebody'd have go out of their way to get a negative from me..like being insulting or rude. i'd do it only if i had to,not for fun. i gave you a "+" though:)

I haven't given anyone a negative rating. usually, I give positive ratings. I had my first dtar a few days ago and i only got 5 in my rating. where can you see the rating 86/100. I didn't notice that one. All i saw was that number 5 in my star. Can you help me on this. thanks.More power. Good luck!
