Have you noticed?
...even if we give good advice people rate low if it's something they don't want to hear? Too bad we can't add a comment to their rating.

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?

Its not about adding a comment to their rating, it would be nice to start an offical sign up where we can report mistreatment of advice givers and leave it up to the men above to block accounts as such as remove the rating. My opinions or course.

You get bad feedback for telling the truth, yes, sadly.
It happens, and a comment back feature would be a nice add.
People come to the site asking advice, but in their heads they really want to hear just one thing and that thing only. If not, they give you a 1.

i totally agree=]

yeahh =/ lol but you could always maybe go back and edit your answer and hope they check it again =]

Yeah, that's been a problem for a long time.
It usually stems from a question like this one I made up:
"My boyfriend hits me and says that I'm fat and ugly... but I don't want to break up with him because I love him!"
Anyone with half a brain would tell her that she needs to get out of the relationship, but there's the possibility that she could give you a low rating.
Some people know the truth, they just want to be convinced that there's another solution. For instance, in the situation I just used, the girl might want someone to say that she can change her boyfriend and give her ways that she can do that.
Anyway, you can file an abuse report if your rating was rediculous.
I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!

This is why I often have a low rating, and sometimes lose modship. I'm brutally honest, and if I think somebody is dumb, I will tell them.
There's really no cure for this. My original thought was to have some sort of feedback dispute option, where you could send a report to a L2 or L3 if you think you didn't deserve the low feedback you received for a question. But, that's a lot of work, and like everything else on the internet, it would be abused by morons.
It's hard to judge a columnist by their rating. THis is why.

Revenge ratings are a simple fact of the system as it stands. You will get low ratings for telling people what they don't want to here. Just the way you'll annoy people in real life for telling it like it is, not like they wish it was. Your rating here isn't vitally important and the moderators are very aware of the problems in the current rating system, revenge ratings being one.
Moderators also do keep their eyes open for people who are trolling and rate a ton of people low out spite.
Now if people are being abusive in their feedback, insulting, threatening or breaking any rules, report that as abuse. The rules of this site apply in feedback just the way they do in questions and answers. Check out the Abuse Report form and The Reasons We Ban People, they are important things to know.
But don't let those low ratings get to you too much. Sometimes when a person is first told the sad truth they are angry and upset, but as more and more people talk sense to them, most people see the light (or at least that is the hope I hold in my heart). Being one of those voices of reason must often be the reward in and of itself.

That is partly why I answer some questions that just don't need answering, people need to hear and read whats going on, even if they don't like it.
I have a habit of telling the truth the way it is, I don't suger coat it, you get it raw, and that is the way it should be. If someone rates me low and gives me a snobby rating comment, I will simply go back and edit my answer to further explain my point.
I don't care about my rating, I just care about giving the best answer I can. And sometimes...helping people to realize they need to hear the truth, even if it is bad. And even if I get a 1

Maybe it doesn't help them because they have tried out your advice before but then they should have mentioned that in their question or add additional information. Or they do things another way.. but that still doesn't mean they should rate low. I don't know. Wait, can't people give feedback to answers?

I haven't noticed, but that used to be something that would hold me back from what I really wanted to say when I actually cared about my rating. It's a shame because it can hold people back from giving decent, honest advice.
Maybe they could add like a "challenge" button, where if you think someone has rated you badly for the wrong reasons you could click it and a moderator could decide whether it should be deleted or not.
