Hannah's answer was very thorough, but I would like to add something on.

Although it's not an official 'rule', I highly suggest that you not repeat answers.

If you come across a question asking for song lyrics [this happens quite often], and it already has 1-2 answers; there is no need to answer a third time stating the same thing that the other advice givers have already posted.

Answer your questions like you mean it, and I'm sure you'll be getting high ratings in no time.

If you have any other questions, feel free to message me!

Hey! Welcome to Advicenators!

How you get ratings: You give advice, and whoever asked the question can rate you and give feedback. They don't always do this, so don't be upset if they don't.

It isn't bad if you aren't rated because it doesn't do anything to your overall score.

If you always get really low ratings nothing will happen to you. But if you give really good advice, people will eventually notice and you will get questions from people directly to your inbox.

Getting high ratings (4-5) is not too hard. You should try to give advice on a subject you understand so you can give the best answer. Then, just make sure you don't sound obnoxious. Both of these may lead to low ratings.

Another note to add: Your average score is based on all the ratings you get in a month. After that month is over, your average starts all over. This is good because if you have one bad rating it won't affect you forever. You can still look at past ratings if you want to, they just won't count towards your average.

If you have anymore questions or if anything I said confused you, you can write back anytime. Good luck!

Hannah
