Well...


Question Posted Saturday April 2 2005, 12:56 pm

okay!

When people ask you for advice, then you answer, and they rate you low because they dont like your answer, and because you didnt say what they wanted you to! thats just bull! i mean, they are asking for your oppinion!

Anyone else agree or have this problem?

I wish they would realize, that its just what we think!!!

everyone thinks different!!!

I think the low #'s are just there if someone doesnt answer the question, or cusses you out!

Anyways-
Kels

Yes, of course.

Any person on this site who is honest will eventually encounter this problem. People ask for advice when they don't really want advice. They want validation, and sometimes...when you don't tell them what they want to hear...you get a low score and/or crappy freedback.

Oh well :P

K3587 answered Saturday April 2 2005, 1:17 pm:
Yeah, I've had this problem. The thing is, even when they say they do, young teens do not want to be told they are wrong. When they ask a question, and they tell the situation, what they did, and ask what they should have done, what they really want to be told is "You did the right thing." They don't want to be told they've done something wrong; they are looking for confirmation for their previous actions. A complication of that does not make them happy.

I've had pretty low ratings in the past just for telling people what they do not want to hear: The truth. That's what I get for being honest, I guess. But they can get over it.

Kels, everyone has that problem. That's just how people rate you. All you have to do is grin and bear it. If you don't like the rating they gave you just delete your answer and the rating will go away. I rate low if it was shitty advice or if they can't type properly or if they sounded like an asshole in their answer. That's probably what happened. It happens to everyone.

I agree with you, Kels, when you give your honest opinion, and the person totally flips out on you, cusses you out, calls you names, and gives you a one.. yeah. I know that feeling and problem. I agree with you. I do realize that it is what the person honestly thinks! If you tell them something honest, from your heart, and then they rate you really low... that's not cool. I understand rating badly if the answer was something like "go bake pie" or something, but I don't give answers like that! Very, very few people here on Advicenators do give answers like that, and those who do, are asking for a low rating.

serously.. they ask for your opinion but just because its not what they want to hear they rate you bad.. they dont rate on whether the aswser is good or bad. just more of what they want hear they can rate you and say it was a good answer jsut not along the lines they are looking for so we can get the drift. but whatever floats their boat ya know.
