fiddlehead Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 OK, i read yahoo news. In the past year or so, they started a comment section below each news article. Now, you can rate the comments. And then you can see which ones are rated highest. I have found that not only is this entertaining, it is also very educational as some of the top rated comments are better than the article. So, why not do this on a forum? I look at the latest thread about Nigerians putting out a warrant for Dick Cheney. Some of the responses are funny. Some are informative. Think about it Thai Visa rulers and especially George. It would improve your already popular forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark45y Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) 10 days ago the BBC published a story that corrected the Dick Cheney bribery story and that Nigeria had dropped all the charges. How about a rating for accuracy in news posting? Edited December 28, 2010 by mark45y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
473geo Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Unfortunately this method of appraisal has proved unpopular with 'controversial' posters on TVisa who may get marked down just because another poster takes a dislike to their comment!!....or them!!!

The OP is talking about rating posts, not rating posters. The reputation feature in effect was a tallying method to rate and label individual posters. These two things are by no stretch of imagination the SAME thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantilley Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 This idea has been tried already a few months ago and was ditched quite quickly because, believe it or not, some people were actually abusing the feature and using it to attack people. Strange (and unfortunate), but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange (and unfortunate), but true. They may not be the same thing, but they are closely related, people who have a dislike to a poster, particularly those that abused it last time, will not mark up a posts content, no matter how good it is, if they resent the poster. Conversely, they will mark up a rubbish post if it is one of their click or groupies. As someone who knows all about the last rating issue Jingthing, I thought you might have grasped that theory.

canuckamuck Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Sorry kids, rating systems are for grownups. When we learn to play nice maybe we can try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
