Do you submit "thumbs up" ratings to all those whom are deserving?

Question

If you haven't thought that giving a rating is important (from a points perspective), consider this... If you submit a rating for answer that you think is good, not only will it tell others that it is a good answer, but it will also help combat against those whom cheat to try to get points by voting for themselves for best answer. So don't forget to vote for best answer, but do leave out rating any good answer as well.

You cannot give yourself a rating. However, you can give out a "thumbs up" (or "thunbs down") rating to anyone and everyone else you want, and you can also receive up to 50 additional points from "thumbs up" rating votes from other members if you receive a best answer. Make those good answers count as well as known to others by rewarding the good answers with your "thumb up" rating.

Thanks in advance for your support!

Answer 1

I use the rating system, but only to the deserving answers. I give 'thumbs down' to those that are rude or just simply put in to get the 2 points for answering.
I give 'thumbs up' when the answer is truly creative and correct in my mind.

Answer 2

Some of them do but I don't think you can generalize and still be accurate or fair.All of the witnesses who come in here are not black balling everyone.I know that it may feel that way at first but it really isn't true.I do believe for instance the person that said they gave thumbs down for what they knew was an outright lie and this person is principled.I am no longer a witness and some of them who know this just give me thumbs down for the fact I am no longer one of them and that's OK if it makes them feel better.I don't give thumbs down to anyone as it in my mind is rude and it was done to the early Christians in the Roman Arenas (actually I learned this in a kingdom hall many years ago )and has a bad connotation to me.I just find a way to let someone know that they are being unkind or immature in their conduct and that they have not yet acquired the holy Spirit .Some repeatedly show their childishness but that's OK too someday it will hit them that it wasn't rightious indignation at all, that they were displaying was just a lack of understanding what the Lord was all about.There is hope for all .Oh yes there are some really great witnesses who have grown up and word themselves in such a way that perhaps people will really listen to them.Others well maybe they think that this will get them attention from their friends and they think they look smart or big to them is "but the question is ?"Do they look big to Jehovah and His Son?" That is who they should be pleasing .And are they bringing reproach on His Holy name that they carry?Some need time to grow and mature into godly folks and they will see the difference someday.Yes time will tell.

Answer 3

I do give a thumbs up when deserving. As well as a thumbs down. I, however, do not flag anyone or report. This is an opinion place and people should expect to see some things on here they don't like.

Answer 4

I like giving thumbs up for good and funny answers

Answer 5

I use the thumbs up and down on the questions I answer... but I really don't have thumbs just 6 legs...

Does leg up / leg down count???

Answer 6

I use the thumbs up and down.

Answer 7

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. What if I put thumbs up on everyone? Eventually I would get a best answer.

Answer 10
