Q: How important do you think ratings are? I have asked questions, and try to go back and rate all the answers. However, I notice that a lot of people do not give ratings. It seems like it should be a common courtesy when someone gives a detailed well thought out answer.

Also have you noticed that the ratings now show up next to the answers? I haven't found this to be true of all my answers that were rated, but at least some of them.

I barely get ratings, but I wish I'd get more. Even if it's not a 5, I still like to know whether anyone is finding my advice helpful or not. I'm always really thrilled whenever someone rates my advice, because positive feedback really makes me happy and reminds me why I stay on advicenators.

I mena, we all do this because we like helping people and don't expect anything back from it, but I agree with you it's common courtesy to rate someone when they put in a lot of thought and effort into your answer. I always rate people when I ask questions, even just for trying. I always get annoyed when I see people get a 1 because their answer wasn't what the person wanted. I don't know why people bother asking advice if they only want people to agree with them or tell them what they want to hear. But I guess that's a whole different thing completely. :)

I agree, why do some of them even ask if they know the answer in the first place :-) Keep up the good work.
