    One thing I see many, many people who make mod apps do, is rate people who support them 'friendly'. This, while not a very dangerous practice, is detrimental to our server.

    You say "Why is that? Who cares about a few ratings?"
    Nobody cares about a few ratings, but when applicants rate everybody who supports them 'friendly' then people who otherwise might not support, will do so for the rating. This leads to apps to have an incorrect/unbalanced amount of supports.

    Please stop doing this. This is not a suggestion because I don't want to make it a rule. Just please, willingly stop it. Tagging some people who have apps and do this. Blurryface Sunneh _Geeky Dough

    It's not doing any harm and people can do as they wish. It's not rate abuse. I just do it so people know that I've read what they have to say and I'll reply to them asap.

    They must be quite desperate for positive Ratings if they Support someone they don't want to be mod just for a tiny Little positive that isn't even a like. But I see how you may think this rating might be detrimental to the assumed integrity of the supporters. As said, I really don't think it weights much.

    I rate people friendly in order to show them I've read it and taken back their information, so that I don't post too much in my application (thanks MindSensation for the tip) so that I and others can see who actually support me.

    Friendly rating on supports with feedback and informative rating on no supports with feedback. I don't really see a problem with it.

    Idk, it's what I try to do. I find myself giving positive ratings when they give me one though. Just a bad habit.

    I don't think many people look at the fcat that they rate the supporters with friendlies. Most people on here want to give their opinion, so I don't really see this becoming an issue.

    The only reason I rate people's supports & response on my application is to let them know that I took everything they have said into consideration & really appreciate them for the support. I really don't see any issue or "rate abuse" by doing that on people's comments. Though at times it may have became a habit like people have said above.
