rating..not allowed anymore?


Question Posted Sunday August 22 2004, 8:07 am

hey, im sorry to bug u if this question has been asked before, but ive recently got a comment in my inbox asking me to please not say "rate me please" at the end of my advice. is that not allowed? the person who commented said that it makes it seem like competition. I dont ask to be rated for the competition, i ask it so i know if im giving good advice, cuase its feedback, letting me know if i need to improve, and if i helped the person. if u think saying "rate me" brings a competitive edge to advicenators, can u rephrase it and say "I would really appreciate it if u let me know how my advice was by rating me and leaving me some feedback" or is that bad too? sorry im juts confused about this whole rating thing. Cause i read all the rules of this site and everything and it doesnt say anywhere that asking to be rated gets annoying or will cause a potential ban..? sorry for asking this question again, i know it might be dumb. thanks in advance for ur reply.

it's not a rule that you can't say "rate me", but it's annoying, and we state in the FAQ that if someone gives you a 1 just for begging we'll let them. Ratings aren't supposed to be taken so seriously, and when you say "rate me" it sounds like you're giving advice just to up your rating, not because you like helping people.
