So many rude people.
I've given out advices a lot and here and there I've gotten 1's with very rude comments. I've treid my best to answer each question but someone goes "YOU RETARD" or osmething along that line. I'm getting very fed up since 1)They don't give enough details and when we try and answer the question, they go "That didn't asnwer my question *adds extra info*" gives a 1. 2)They don't understand that not all the advice will go out smoothly. No one is going to hold their hands every step of the way and they need to tweak it a little to get it adjusted. Then ther goes the 1 again. This is getting really annoying and I think the moderators who check the questions should reject ones that have barely and information on it and something about it

Maybe give some free advice about: Advicenators?
it makes me angry too. especially when i give someone my honest opinion (without being rude or anything) and they give me a 1 simply because it's not what they wanted to hear. most of the time before i answer a question, i see what the question asker has rated other columnists so i can figure out if i want to answer that question or not. to me, if you're not willing to take advice, you don't need to ask, and i think that's a big problem on this site because a lot of people just ask questions to have people agree with them. if you get bad feedback for just giving your honest advice, then i'd report the question and file an abuse report. i got a 1 on a question once and filed an abuse report. the next day, it had been changed by a moderator to a 3. it helped my rating a little bit but it was still unfair that i got rated poorly. besides that, they deleted the question afterward. i basically just look for the people asking questions that sound like they could take advice... because some questions are like "i like a boy, but he hates me and throws tomatoes at me, how do i get him to propose?" and there's no possible way to answer that sincerely (for me, at least) without basically saying, "he doesn't like you, quit stalking him." see what i'm saying? most people think they can take advice, but they really can't. and i'll admit, i'm one of those people. but that's why i give advice, and i don't ask for it often. anyway, i hope i kind of shared enough of my thoughts to help you.

I've had this happen before. Some of them can just unappreciative, rude people. What I do is I either file a abuse report, which is somewhere near where they rated you. It should say "think this rating is unfair? file a ABUSE REPORT" or something similar to that.
Also, if there's a question that doesn't have alot of information, then skip it and hopefully someone else'll take a crack at it and can get the low rating. Or, if they sent it to you in your inbox, just write to them normally where you'd answer the question "i don't have enough information, can you tell me more?" or something like that to let them know you're not exactly sure how to answer it yet, but you'd still like to help.
Like younggrandma said, you need to re-read your qiestions sometimes and see how the tone of the answer might come off to you. You may think whenever you're typing it, you're typing it in a nice way, but if the other girl is reading it, she could take it as an insult or you being rude, which may lead to some 1's. So, I always double-check and try not to sound too harsh whenever I type mine out.
I hope I helped.

OK, I have changed 2 one ratings on your column. I am a L2 so able to get your info...Don't worry, very few of us have this power and I wouldn't have looked myself but since you had a complaint...
Next time you feel you are rated unfairly, file an abuse report. It isn't that hard to do, all we ask for is a link back to the question/answer you are wanting us to check.
I also banned the user who called you a retard. Name calling is not allowed here.
I will say that sometimes your tone when answering a question comes off sounding a little rude. You might try being a little less harsh at times because that has a way of pissing people off, if you know what I mean. You give good advice...just leave off comments like "get lost" and you will do very well. :)
Now, this is to ALL users reading this. It needs said so please take no offence. Since you mentioned it I am going to take the opportunity.
We get a ton of questions every day. Most of them are not spectacular. What we all need to realize is that we work with what we have. A lot of our
users are 13-17. A 13 year old is not going to have the same skills asking questions as one who is 18+. If they are really horrible they don't get approved. If we stopped approving every question that has already been asked, or isn't written perfectly we would have NO questions to give you.
We also need to remember that a question we think
is stupid may be very important to a 13 year old who is just getting her period and has heard misinformation on the grade school grapevine.
Please take all these things into consideration when answering a question. If you feel you can't answer or are sick to death of a certain type of question...just don't answer it.
