rating..
I think that it should be required to rate. i know that i've spent time writing and looking things up for people so i can help them and then i dont even get a rating at all. i just started my account so i dont have enough ratings to have the average rating on my column....even though ive answered a lot of questions for people! does anybody else agree that after we give up time to help that the person who gets our advice should take five seconds to give us some credit??

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
I don't think it's that much of a big deal.
I'm personally on this site to GIVE advice and couldn't give a flyingfuck if I had ratings or not.
But you're right, it is nice to have feedback. But at the same time, a lot of people rate here based on wether they like your answer or not. Not wether the advice was good.
I don't know, your suggestion could go both ways.
But I think we should do it for the sake of giving advice, not ratings.

My advice to you is to not give advice for the ratings.
I agree with you that it would be wonderful if people would rate, and rate properly! Not giving all fives just 'cause, or handing out ones because they don't like the answer they got. However, that simply isn't going to happen. Not in this universe.
If we required people to rate, I see one of two things happening: Either constant rating abuse and people complaining about 'unfair' ratings when they are perfectly fair, or questioners trying to make new accounts or asking all questions without accounts in order to avoid having to rate.
Rationally, I think it would hurt the site, not help it. That is just my opinion.
Of course if you have an idea on how this could be implemented or run, there is a Make Suggestions link under Miscellaneous and you could send your suggestion to the owner of the site.

I completely agree. I am in the same situation as you. I recently went on a break from advicenators, so all of my ratings no longer count because it has been to long, so I'm starting from scratch again. In the past week I've answered atleast 10 questions and yet I only have 3 feedbacks, which is not enough for an average rating. How unfair is that?! I went to look up stuff as well and I gave my best answers and yet NOTHING! I wish there was something we could do about it, but unfortunately I dont think there is. It's not like the administrators can make people rate...I don't think its possible the way that ratings work right now, which is a complete shame. Good Luck and I hope you get the feedback you deserve and fast.
Hope my input helped you :)
