I give a 10 because they took the time and trouble to post. What they say in the post is irrelevant to my rating because I want them to post more. If they consistently post things I am not interested in, I stop viewing.
I am on the fence with this one! I usually rate a post if it makes a point and follows through the logical process of good writing. I also rate a post if the post is strictly information from else where and I wanted to know about the topic.
I agree with John S, and that is basically my criteria for ratings.
Yep, John S. is correct, but I always rate a 10 because people are too sensative to receive anything else and there are a lot of nice people on here who are only trying to put groceries on the table any way they can. Rating also lets me know if I've read the post when I check back.
Fred I am just glad that you allow ratings! your posts are reliably good.
I still have no clue what value the ratings are if your points are value based at cash out. That is also something I have not done, cash out. Of what value does ratings add or not to a post?
I gave up rating a long time ago. When I did it I did it on quality of writing. I almost never gave anything a 10. My basic premise was that an average article deserves a 5.
How funny. You actually made me laugh. People on here are too sensative for an honest raging and you know that. LOL
I rate a 10 always and I rate so I will know if I've read the post or not so that when I check back on articles and posts I'll know if I've already read them or not. LOL
I think (hope) that most members will agree that the rating system should never be used to reflect your support (or not) for the subject of the content. However, since the system is intended to 'bubble up' and 'bubble down' content you find compelling, then it would be difficulty for many members to make a distinction between the subject of a post, photo or video and the time and effort that went into its creation.

I know some of your close friends wouldn't agree but it's good to know you rate depending on the person's internal belief in their post.
I agree that a post which articulately puts forth a position with passion helps to give insight into a topic one could not get otherwise.

I either leave a ten
or nothing at all

Therefor if there stars are turned on I will give them a ten.
Nice to know how others do the star thingy. It makes a person feel good to get a ten, so why not spread around a little good cheer?
