Maybe I'm just a person who feels this way, but when I give advice, half the people don't even respond to me, like give me a rating. Of course I know it's their decision to rate, but I really don't appreciate the fact that I spend a good amount of time answering a question, and the person doesn't rate me. Does anybody else feel this way?

I take my time and usually write these longggggg answers to people(only if needed)!
But just keep in mind that you just want to help the person and the ratings don't matter that much, even though i get happy when someone rates my question...lol.. [ colombiana122993's advice column | Ask colombiana122993 A Question ]
linkinpark0651 answered Friday February 23 2007, 5:00 pm: Yes! I absolutely feel the same way. I think that ratings can help to improve a columnist's advice. I rate everyone that answers my questions no matter how good or bad the advice is. [ linkinpark0651's advice column | Ask linkinpark0651 A Question ]
christina answered Friday February 23 2007, 2:33 pm: I don't really care for ratings. Just as long as I help someone to try & solve their problem or whatever. The ratings & feedback don't matter to me. That's not my reward. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

runawayxlove answered Friday February 23 2007, 2:31 pm: hey, well i usually get ratings. when i dont get them for a question that i felt i answered to the best of my ability and gave a rather good answer, i get mad. most of the time people dont rate because the answer you gave isnt what they wanted to hear. other than that, there just lazy. on your advice column, write something like "i love getting feedback. its lets me know how well im doing my job. if i ever ask a question on the site i always rate. because you would want to know if you gave good adivce or not - right?". thats what i have on my column. it works well because i get a lot of ratings.
