Thread ratings

[Banjo]

Nay... too many thumbs. Maybe something that fit with the theme a bit more and with total votes and accurate ratings in text beside it.

It was worth the few minutes of downtime. (Y)

eh.. I'm not sure I see how this is going to encourage good posting habits. If that is the intention wouldn't it be more appropriate to add a rating to specific users or their posts and not threads?

rating users would cause alot of fuss methinks. the more people "downgrade" a user the more aggressive he'll become imo.

^ good call (Y)

User-rating would most likely promote more "user-bashing"

Perhaps. Then maybe just make it so you can give positive ratings to a user if you found their information helpful. Say for every 5 good ratings you get a point, something like that. It's just right now as it stands all I see this thread rating doing is adding another column to the forum.

or itr can only be visible under his/her profile (site).

You get one vote per thread, so make it count!

What happends if the thread goes to the crapper?

I mean this thread is a 5 IMO.. but there may be threads in which I vote in the beginning then later on they turn to suck :(

:s why is my quote box empty.

[IceDogg]

Thanks timdorr, this is going to be awesome!

[Banjo]

Will we get to set a rating threshhold for topics with 10+ votes that are under a certain rank?

When you quote something, quotes are removed and Tim didn't have any text so it showed up empty.

That's probably going to be more a case for the moderating staff. They'll keep an eye on things and cut out all the crap.

Ok, here is a photoshop suggestion for the layout. I think this is slightly more efficient looking, and also doesn't make it seem that the thread is prioritised by it's rating.

No, I don't plan on it right now, as that would mess with some already delicately optimized SQL statements.

[insanekiwi]

why not use stars or thumbs as rating? i bet 5 stars would look neat on the forum index

edit: like this?

[IceDogg]

I was wondering if you could setup an area or link like the new/active post link for just highly ranked post. I think that would be kewl. A place where only the top ranked post get in would make for some quality reading, not that all neowin isn't already. :yes:

[OPaul]

Seems to me the only threads that are going to get rated are the ones that are already hot topics, which already are displayed with a red icon.

[Sn1p3t]

Also, it might be cool if we could edit our vote as well. ;)
