The first thing you notice after replying the discussion is a sign of '+','-' and '!'.so what do you think that rating is an important thing than just point collecting. Why is it so necessary after posting any discussion.Don't you feel that without rating is going on here is a tomfoolery! or You think that you don't need any rating after getting 1000 or 2000 points?

It is necessary from the view point of those who respond to your discussion. If it is excellent, then give GOOD RESPONSE. If it is ok, then give POSITIVE. If it is really bad give NEGATIVE. If it is abusive then it should be given [!]. Every mylot member should rate the responses and comments without fail. This will enhance the earnings of the participants.

I belive it is necessary because it can help us earn a little bit more, so if you are answering a discussion, try rating them sometimes. They may rate you in return for your good intention.

Hello hi-gourab, I always rate positively all the respondents to my discussions. Every time I respond to others, I will rate the poster too. I never rate anyone here negatively. Negative rate could make your star rating goes down sometimes. I don't know why some people like to rate others negatively just because they don't like the act or the response of certain people here. For me, we are here just to have fun and for some, to earn some earnings. It is not our responsibility to judge others based on their opinions here.

Thanks your response. I totally agree with you that we don't have the responsibility to make someone negative points. we are here to share our thoughts and discuss our daily life matters. so that we create a good friends network and earn some money too.

I think rating people are important ONLY because its part of participating here on myLot, and in order to earn your money, you need to fully participate in discussions. They made this part of participation by putting it in place. I think it's a sad system for some who are just angry and rate people on their feelings alone, and not how your supposed too. Otherwise I really think its meaningless. I don't care about that number beside my name, it doesn't make or break who I am or who I'm going to be. Bay Lay Gray xx

Hi & Hello, hi_gourab. I need that rating regardless for number of posting, and I am hypocrite if I say no or don't need it. I always sincerely rated '+' to any posted discussion, comment and photo. Because I don't want to be a self-centered person in creating harmony friendship on mylot. Even though it had happened to me, previously, that some of the responses and commentaries in contradict words. I believe that mylot staffs have their own mathematical algorithms on earnings to mylot members for rating point collection. It is very clear statement on item 4 & 5 under subject "What are the + and – I see on each discussion, response, comment and photo?" COPY AND PASTE from source link:- http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx What are the + and – I see on each discussion, response, comment and photo? 1. These are for you to use to rate other myLot users. This is what myLot refers to as the Discussion Rating System or DRS. 2. The Discussion Rating System (DRS) allows users to rate the usefulness of topics, responses, and comments on myLot. 3. The goal of the DRS is to help keep the quality of myLot discussions as high as possible for all members. 4. myLot members should rate discussions, responses, comments, and photos based upon quality and usefulness. We are very excited about the DRS and encourage everyone to use it. 5. The DRS is factored into our proprietary earnings algorithm, so this will help us properly reward valuable contributions to the myLot community. COPY AND PASTE END. Happy Postings and Earnings, hi_gourab. HAPPY DAPPY.
