Do you rate other people? How often do you rate responses and discussions?

i dont really do tht always.. i rate the discussion only when they are good and nice.. there are millions f discussions and post in my lot.. so i dont really bother to rate all the discussion i take part in .. i only rate the discussions hich i think was nice and useful

Yes. I rate other members of Mylot. I rate them based on their responses to a discussion. I rate them positively as long as their reply relates to the discussion at hand.

I'm a total newbie so how actually do you rate other people?

In one of the discussions posted here that suggests how to increase the chances of your discussion to make to the top discussions panels u ned to rate every response positive..also rate others discussions positive ...though its not a sureshot but its better to take the chances.
As for me..i do rate discussions quite often..specially if I like it...though as u mentioned i often forget.

I don't remember how much rating response on my discussion. Maybe 5:1. It's mean 5 discussion for me and 1 response that i rate. Happy mylotting

I rate replies. I like to read other people's replies on good topics. If they're responding with some content, i give them +. It's the least we can do for others. We help each other by replying. So in my opinion it is good practice to rate others for their replies. I don't know if there is reputation for profiles. If there is any i'll find it and soon will even give reputation to some good responders if i can.

Hey sagnik! When I do a discussion I always rate all responses in my
discussions +. I don't always remember to rate people when I am responding
to others discussions except for the starter of the discussion. It is
nice to rate others because it is a way to help get their star rating
up! I really try to remember to rate others when I do see an exceptional
response.

Never,before you said,I dont know it,thank you for you share>:D
