Responses that are not appropriate.

i truly understand you, coz i had some responses as well which are not related to the one i've discussed. i think they are the ones who are not interested in what you're writing but is just interested on the money earned by answering. it's annoying. i just rate them negative.

I've had this problem a few times. It depends on what exactly the person said but usually I'll just give it a negative for being off topic and not reading the original discussion. If the response is inappropriate in the sense that it violates the guidelines then I'll report it. This would include things that are abusive and/or nonsense (the ones that just type in a bunch of letters or a jumble of words with no actual meaning).

I have not ran into this yet in my own topics but i have seen it in other's. I will rate it negatively if it is totally off topic. Actually the only things I rate with a negative are personal attacks and total off topics. I leave the report of abuse to the topic starter. But I think it really sucks because I know the majority of us here really like to express ourselves and it kind of nagates the whole thing when someone is copy pasting the same response into every discussion or attacking someone personally.
