How many of us are using the DRS?

Very good question! I do use the DRS often. I will use the discussion rating system and rate discussion, responses, comments and my favorite is rating photos because I love pictures so much. There are some really neat pictures to be seen here on MyLot too. So yes, I certainly do use the MyLot rating system. It is a useful tool for members. \I hope that more and more people will use it effectively. I like what you said about rating every response that you think is instrumental in your discussion. Good point. I must admit, I have not rated all discussions, responses, comments and photos but I think after this discussion, I will be more conscientious of it and rate more. Thank you for that!

I do try my best to rate the discussions but sometimes I missed it so I'll do it after. I remember I once rated somebody a negative rating because of violation and even reported it. It's a good system to make a report for violators here and it seems like there are a lot of them already.

I rate people base on what they post, i give a prospective rate depending upon how an individual comment to a discussion. it really depends. Sometimes we need to think that not all should be given the positive sign. We also need to be vigilant. Learn to be transparent. Learn to use the exclamation point and negative sign on the rating system properly. Mylot will not put it there if it is not much needed. Just decide and rate properly.
