Do you often rate others' responses?

Hi my1341! I have rated others' responses as negative on a rare occasion. But only if the response had absolutely nothing to do with the topic and was obviously hostile in an attempt to provoke argument and/or just in general mean. To date, I have only rated about four responses as negative. I mostly rate responses as positive though. I prefer to reward positive behaviour rather than acknowledge negative behaviour.

i agree with you so much,but if i really find the response helpful,or reasonable,i will rate it "the best one"or"a good one".never rate"bad".

I rate others responses if they are really good or really horrible and off topic. If someone has a different opinion from me but still answered the question in a way that I can tell that they actually read it, I won't give them a bad rating. If I can tell someone didn't read the question even, I won't hesitate to give them a bad rating.

This probably might be the reason why my reputation just increase a point. Just kidding. At this time, I am not able to rate anyone yet and I am not sure if I will be doing it in the near future. I am just overwhelmed with excitement every time I log in and voila I'll forget about it already and the attention shifted.

haha, now that you mention it, i never rate anybody as i don't know what the rating will do or there is such a thing as rating.now that you mention it, maybe i would try to explore it.thanks a lot pal!

I do like to rate other peoples responses too. Especially when I find that somebody has made a nice contribution and one which is meaningful to a discussion. I think in all my time at myLot I have rated someone negatively only once. That was because I found their comments very insensitive and offensive. Usually when I disagree with comments made by another member I am more than happy to ignore them and move on but I have only ever rated negative one. Much prefer to rate positively!

yes, I always give oters +, so I give you a +,because this topic maybe hot. happy mylotting!

i rate the responses that would be useful to me and others also... Till now i rated many responses that i got

As far as rating is concerned I will never rate others negatively. Whether or not they agree with me I will always rate them positively. Unless of course they post some offensive words in their responses. I wish to see people motivated in their participation here when they see their rising starts.
