Question Posted Wednesday August 18 2004, 2:40 pm

Is there any way to change the ratings other people have given you? Is there someone I can ask? Some of my ratings are SO unfair, ex:
- A person asked if Dickies would still be in style by the middle of the year. I said yes and also gave them a link for a new style of Dickies dresses. Turns out it was a guy, but how was I supposed to know?
- Instead of giving someone a long list of picture websites, I gave them my one favorite.
- Someone put "my head hurts!", don't know how THAT didn't get deleted but anyways, I made a joke about it and they rated me 1. Wish I could rate them back.

Thanks for reading my dumb question. :) Has this happened to anyone? It really annoys me and wrecks my feedback.

TheRe is no way to CHANGE the Rating THEY'VE given YOU, howeveR, you can delete youR answeR altogetheR. And just so you know, this will make youR answeR tally go down. Simply go to youR column, and click "View Feedback". Then click on the actual little numbeR you wish to get Rid of. Click "AnsweR this question", and just high light and delete it. then click "Edit AnsweR". Hope I helped!!

Oh yeah it happens to me every 5th question. Don't sweat it. Just keep answering questions and eventually it will all even out. Feedback ratings drop out after 30 days or so.

If a level 2 mod sees unfair feedback, they can change the rating. But remember, ratings arn't everything.

I think that you shouldn't worry about what people rate you...some of them don't even care they just put numbers down..there is no way you can change the rating that they gave you...Just give advice to them n whatever they rate you don't worry about it..they should be lucky to get some advice from you..Yes, i have had that happen to me.

yeah, i kno - some ppl get offended by the truth nd others don't realize that u were giving them all the info u have to help them and that if u knew they would be inconsiderate and give u a 1 then you wouldn't have even tried....just remember that you're on this site to help and not to get high ratings! it's nice to get 5's and know that you've helped, but advice is more important than ratings

Try not to take ratings so seriously. If people see you have a poor rating, they can look at the answer you gave, and see that it was unfair. Or you could always delete your answer. If you answer stupid questions, don't be suprized to get a stupid reply.
Yes level 2 moderators can change ratings, but we rarely do.

you cannot change your ratings. this is just how people think your advice is. and ratings aren't important anyway. so you just have to deal with it. drop one in my inbox if you need anything else
