How are you using the 'rating' system?

Just curious about how people are using the rating system on 10000 thoughts. It seems a little strange to give points for other people's intentions and gratitudes. Do people have particular criteria that they look for before giving a rating? I tend to give high ratings to postings that give me some inspiration for my own life, but tend not to bother rating other postings.

Thanks for the question,

Thanks for the question, Ben.

There isn't any right or wrong way to use the rating system. And obviously you don't have to use it at all if you choose not to.

Personally, I give the highest ratings for intentions that are specific (it is clear what the author wants and when the author will have achieved what they desire), and intentions that are worded in a positive manner.

Also, like you, if an intention touches my heart, it gets ranked highly. It also gets put into my favorites. ;]
