I try to uprate ALL answers that I receive. I don't uprate answers that insult me, of course. But I don't downrate.
-
all of them
-
I rate up all my answers that I recieve for my question;) Like it or not;) They took the time to answer it;)
-
I usually PR all answers, as it takes time on their part to visit your question and think (for the most part) about the advice to give or their opinion on the matter. We all have opinions. Some answers will agree with our own thoughts, while most probably will not. And when I answer a question, I usually PR the Q. + for you. Thanks for the Q.
-
All, unless they are offensive or just plain nonsense.
-
I try to rate all, but every now and then, one really gets in my craw. Sometimes, I won't rate if I think an answer near the top is not deserving of being as high as it is, but these things are rare. Usually I want for everyone who puts the time in to come to my question to get points.
-
i up rate them max. if they answered the question. if it is nonsense I may ask them to change it to fit my question so I can give them points, if they don't i just leave it pointless. if it is insulting I will flag it. I do not downrate.
-
I pick and choose. I uprate the ones that are right not the ones that I happen to like.
-
I rate up all answers. I also comment. I want people to know I am reading their answers.
-
I always rate answers to my questions, and usually comment, too, at least a thank you, so they know I've come by and read their answer. I know some people like "no question left behind" but I think it is equally important to be appreciative and say "No answer left behind".
-
I almost always rate all answers to my questions. I may, occasionally, not reward a top rating. The only reason I wouldn't rate an answer is if it were rude or offensive to me or someone else. I also always try to comment them to, at least to say thank you.
-
If I feel the answer I receive is useful, I vote it up.
-
It would take a whole lot for me to not uprate responses. With my questions, I feel like the hostess. If people are gracious enough to stop by, they deserve to be treated with etiquette and respect!
-
In a perfect world I would never forget to uprate any question I answer or anyone who answers mine. I do though. Those'd be my intentions though.
-
I rate them all up. If it doesn't make any sense or is just plain dumb I give 3 sympathy points out, otherwise it's a 6 for all of the other respondents. No sense in being a points miser.
-
Unless the answer is insulting to me or someone else on AB I give ALL answers to my question MAX points even if I do not agree with it. I want to give them the points for taking the time to write a response.
-
I uprate all those who answer, with the exception of spam or anything offensive.
-
I don't ask many questions at all, so I've not had enough experience with this to say. I will tell you that I despise those who anonymously downrate perfectly good answers with no explanation as to why they do so. That's little more than cowardice.
-
I uprate all who answer unless I get nonsense, spam, or an something offensive as an answer. I do not always comment, but I do UR. Of course, being human, I am certain I have missed some. It's not intentional though.
-
I guess I feel pressured to rate up for everyone that answers my questions AND leave comments since one of the answerers brought it to my attention, in a cynical tone about me not up rating him/her, and I didn't mean anything by it. I just didn't think he/she really answered my question. I used to just rate up the ones that I felt put some thought into my questions and down rate (which I rarely do) the ones that were just being a jerk. Now, I just rate them all...I guess for most people here, impersonal (disguised as being courteous) is better than being it personal and giving out ratings because you really felt that answerer deserved it.
-
Since I get most of my points from people who answer my questions, I try to make a point of rating all my answers and I never downrate anyone because my plusses given rating is 100%. As long as it stays at 100%, nobody can accuse me of being a troll.
-
I try to rate all answers...i appreciate the time people take to view my submissions...
-
Abusive, offensive, insulting, or nonsense answers get either nothing at all or a down rate and a flag ... Good answers will get an up-rate ... the few lame attempts will only get one or two points while most answers will get one less than the max so that only the one answer I feel is BEST will be given the maximum up-rate.
