Rating Coments

You don't have to rate anything! I do, I feel if a person takes the time to respond to my posts the least I can do is honor them with my little + for thier effort, I very rarely give a - to anyone! As far as best responses go I always give those out or they stay in your active file, this closes them out! But people can comment on a post after many years if they chose to do so! tdemex

I never have rated some one with the (-) yet.. When I am looking for a new discussion to respond to I may or may not say anything at all.. But when I do response to a discussion I always give the user a (+).. If I do not respond at all I just do not do anything to the person's discussion.. Granted I do not always agree with everything that is said on here.. Every one has a right to their own opinion. The only time I would use (-) is when someone is cutting someone else down or coming after me personally because of the way I feel about something.. Not everyone rates this way, which is their choice.. Oh by the way, I have heard some people use (-) when people do not use proper grammar.. I do not believe this is a nice practice, this site should be graded more on the content and not how it is written.. There are quite a few people on here that do not know English that well. Therefore grammar is out of the question.. It would be like us trying to learn a foreign language, and having to learn the proper grammar right off that bat, let along with just trying to communicate their whole thought... There is no specific way or wrong way to rate comments, its personal preference.. I also look at the way I look at others and I hope they would look at my writings the same way.. I do not always spell everything right, spell check doesn't always caught it either.. And grammar well, it just depends on my patience level at the time I am writing.. I would rather have a complete thought versus a discussion that has half my thought and grammatically correct.

I like to rate users, as it lets them know that someone thought enough of there posts, to give them a good rating. I am like the one user, who said she rates hem with a positive or not at all. I think rating someone a negative is not only unfair and very cruel. The exception being they were nasty, then I would rate them a negative and report them, however so far, I haven't had to do that, and I hope I never do. It isn't something that I would want to do, but would be force to under those circumstances. Well, good luck to you and happy mylotting.
