The entire point of rating was to get rid of useless posts. That was literally the main point when Bottiger introduced FacePunch. With the anonymous ratings, everyone's going to post, just like Void did now, and announce how they rated each thing "Optimistic" or such.

This is stupid, and should be gotten rid of for several other prominent reasons.

Fairly certain that would qualify as spam.

I thought about removing it a long time ago.


The problem with being able to see the list is that you are afraid to give people a negative rating in case they try to retaliate.

A person that's afraid of retaliation isn't going to do that.
 
+1 I think this needs to go on the basis of not getting alerts when I receive a rating. I don't care who rated it, but I shouldn't have to take the time to hunt down my posts in order to see how it went over. This is especially true on forums that go on for tens, if not a couple hundred pages. And also for members who post a lot. Now, as stated above, members will just start spam-rating because accountability will be a lot harder on a community level. Will there be any accountability for spam rating? If spamming is against the rules, why give people a huge opportunity to do it? That seems odd.

Also, Mittens...calling an admin an idiot because they have a different opinion from yours is unprofessional and childish. Act like an adult, instead of a six year old who isn't getting their way. Shutting down a discussion because you disagree with it is something a dictator does. You're an admin, not Qaddafi. Why enable these discussions if you're just going to shut them down before they can be discussed? You don't run the place, stop acting like you do.

+1 believe it or not you can make friends over what you rate them.
example: You post something that has your ideas in it, and you get an agree. You now know that person agrees with your ideas and friends can be made of it.

Is it possible to only hide who gives negative ratings? Or is it all or nothing? Like hide who gives negative ratings, so you don't have to worry about retaliation like Bott said, but still be able to see if someone agrees with you, etc.

Personally I like to see all the ratings so that I know where I stand in the eyes of the public of skial. Lets say I get a dumb rating from Bottiger. I'd like to know who gave me that dumb because a Dumb from Bottiger means more then a Dumb from Void or Mittins.

Edit: ;~; who gave me the funny? I WANNA KNOW WHO THINKS IM FUNNY!

i'm team "complex opinion can not be represented by an agree rating." ratings don't mean shit, if you need little icons to vocalize with people then you probably have more pressing matters at hand than being worried how people perceive you.

i'll -1 and veto, have fun losing sleep over the serial dumb-rater. :J
 
+1 I want to know when that rat bastard mittens rates me dumb so I can write him a very angry pm on how its not dumb
 
I actually won't give as many dumb ratings. Most of my dumbs could be a disagree but you all get so butt hurt over ratings that I just click on dumb.

The purpose is not to make friends because you rate someone's post agree it's that now you will be able to rate your "friends" post dumb without fear of retaliation, like Bott said.
