How to trace who gives you a bad rating here?

There's no way too. Everyone is supposed to be anonymous voters.

Hi

As far as I am aware there is no way of tracing who gave you a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Why does it matter anyway? This is a community of questions and answers and everyone's views and opinions are different. One has to accept that or else leave the forum.

Because of the points system some people take this forum too seriously. It is not all about points. This forum is not a game. It is not a contest. It is about making a contribution, about helping others, about seeking advise.

Unfortunately there are a lot of negative people with low self-esteem who tend to make mischief. It is best to ignore negative postings rather than feed the ego.

What is the problem?

You do the same to his posts and see how long he wants to continue with his game.

That will put you on an even keel if it really bothers you.

Personally, I couldn't care less about the points system.

When you get 1,000,000 points you get to answer a few more questions.

Big thrills, indeed.

The real advantage of yahoo answers is the incredible depth of knowledge that can be found in the other posters for most questions. (brainless, not included).

Just think for a few seconds on the stripe of person who would actually email you with a message akin to a baby throwing a rattle in a tantrum.

Stick him on ignore, forget it and move on.

Q/A is a part of an experiment how people use the internet.

Its to see how we behave on the internet.

So we are like test mice and cant control it.

Who sent the Email don't you know the name of the Jerk ?? Its a bit dumb of him or her thats like asking for a black eye.

Any way one thumbs down dont do much to ya !!!

may b wrong,but u sound like your taking what he said to heart a little too much,i've got a few emails an they say their goina kick my but over my head,all i can figure out is,u want to travel that far to try an kick my but,come on down<>IS<>

I think that the "thumbs down" represent the bad ratings, but I don't think there's any way to see who gives them.

OK, you got yourself a wacko jealous stalker who views you as competition. I had a similar situation once but he got bored and moved on to another victim. But unfortuantely, there is no way for you to tell...of course, if he is sending you actual correspondence you might send it on to Y/A and tell them what's going on.

We are all anonymous; so there's no way to trace this person who is giving you thumbs down!

maybe yours was the best answer but that best answer got him into trouble like maybe you said "tell the truth" so he did, now he/she is on the outs with their better half. Such is life.

A low rating doesn't really do anything to you. All it does is hide that particular answer from the person who gave you that rating.
