Best compromise so far, now in formal suggestion form.
This clusterfuck of a thread.Compromise??
An agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.
What is the dispute? who are the sides? and what consessions are you making?
I can see you getting the full house of ratings on this one...:p
"He wants ratings to be removed from 1 subforum, LETS TAKE OUT 60% OF THE RATINGS FROM EVERY SINGLE PART OF THE FORUM"
So there are various reasons to keep all of them, but I think the main reason is to eliminate one word posts. The reason neat was added was because a lot of people couldn't stop replying neat to everything. So instead of bumping threads, we just added a rating. Same reason why we have stuff like informative or winning. Instead of people just saying WINNING or "That's useful", they can express it in ways that make the forum look less cluttered with posts.
