New Ratings System

Whenever I see a post (albeit mine or someone else's), I see considerably large black boxes on the bottom right of the post. I am using Mozilla 1.6b on XP Pro.

just for the hell of it... i dug the ratings system out of the dust. i changed the prompt to "do you think this post is good?"

my reasoning behind this is: with all posts posted on this board, people should generally try to make a GOOD post. that is, not one that contains only "lol" or whatever. the rating isn't used for anything as of yet, but we'll see how it goes.

try to use it properly...

What happens when I click yes or no? Does it keep a running total? Does it say who clicked yes vs. no?

I just noticed... Av, you put the post rating back on the bottom of posts. Have I just been blind and have missed it for the past however long, or is this a new thing... again... ?

I'm wondering, would it be possible to give us a setting in our profiles to hide the rating question from view?

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who still hates the idea of the ratings, but I would be passified if I at least didn't have to look at it, in much the same way that I can avoid the rest of the clutter by using the infiltration template.

I tend to abuse this feature, I think it shoul be "do you think this post was relevant" because I just click no to posts that I dislike, Oh yeah I clicked no on both of you guy's posts cause I felt like being a dick. HAHA

I really don't see what the point of this is. Some people are just going to run around saying every post is a bad post. Its going to get mean in here.

You most certainly are not.

i think the ratings system is cool even if it really means nothing. come on people, it's not that big a deal.

also... there's a thread about this in "main"... maybe we should merge them, mods.

Well at least we won't end up with spammy responses like "good point" "I disagree".

Stuff like that adds no content, and should be kept off the boards, so I totally agree that a rating system lets people get it out of their system.

spammy responses like that matter, though. So you're right, the rating system allows people to agree/disagree without having to fill up the threads with "yeah!" "cool" "haha"...

For example: when someone tells me a picture i posted was interesting, or that they liked my idea, etc, i want to post a thank-you.. But the thank-you's usually get gobbled up by mods because they "have no content", which in turn makes me look like a snob. Maybe this will help.

I know i'm not the only one who has to make up long paragraphs of topic-relevant babble to ensure the post won't be deleted, when all you really want to do is acknowledge somebody with a "yeah!"
