Ratings - What for?

Well these days on can earn slightly better if you rate the responses or if your responses are rated.

whats a rating? lol

well the way i see it is one way of making each discussion more attractive, like if you find any discussion very much interesting or liking it then rate that discussion positvely otherwise give it a negative rating if you find it offensive to the majority of this community. hope that helps a bit. greetings. : )

Score card I guess. I do think maybe it is increasing my pay amount per question answered.

Me too, i dont know what is for - its just a standing or something... i know someone who have a high rating yet earn less and a low reating who earns alot.. :P
