Banjo Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPaul Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanekiwi Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 rating users would cause alot of fuss methinks. the more people "downgrade" a user the more aggressive he'll become imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 ^ good call (Y) User-rating would most likely promote more "user-bashing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjo Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Will we get to set a rating threshhold for topics with 10+ votes that are under a certain rank? 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. 585006894[/snapback] When you quote something, quotes are removed and Tim didn't have any text so it showed up empty.

They'll keep an eye on things and cut out all the crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanekiwi Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 why not use stars or thumbs as rating? i bet 5 stars would look neat on the forum index edit: like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDogg Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
