when do you rate your co-member here in mylot A NEGATIVE RATINGS? do you think that person deserves your rating? i just wonder cause my reputation rating here in mylot suddenly goes down yesterday. and someone tell me that one cause for this is when you are being RATED NEGATIVELY. i feel bad until now, i have done everything just to satisfy discussions here... i hope it would not happen again.

I don't think that it is always because you got a negative rating from people. I think it also has something to do with the amount of questions you post and the lack of responses you get. It's like it has to meet a certain ratio. I haven't posted a question in a long time, and my rating hasn't really changed. Everytime I post a question, my rating goes down the next day. I do know that if you go to the questions without responses section and answer old post with no best reponse selected you get a better chance in getting chosen as a best reponse. That helps your rating go up. Don't take your rating personal. It isn't a fair rating system in that perspective. I think when I see someone with a 3 is when I think that person has either posted a huge amount of questions, or has put one sentence as thier answer. I like having a good rating, but if it was low, I would not let it make me feel bad. I would just keep being honest with my answers and post more answers than questions until my rating went back up.

I rarely rate answers negatively. I only do it if the answer is really stupid. Not necessarely if I don't agree to the answer, just when it's simply stupid.

If this discussion would have been stupid I wouldn't have responded... I consider a response stupid when it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic, or when someone makes fun of the other answers considering itself superior when in fact he's the stupid one... Just so you know, I haven't rated any of your discussions negatively untill now.
