What is the function behind the percentage/five star rating of threads?
I see single post threads that reflect an 11% approval rating (?!) and reflect a 50% approval on the post itself (?!). Is visibility of this function important, and if so, can we as users have a more streamlined interface for participation (unless automated (?!))? What the fuck is going on here?!
(insert image of grandpa shaking fist at cloud)
I see it as a potential vehicle for slagging on other people, which sort of contributed (my opinion) to the downfall of Noiseguide, et al., so, what gives?

Re: Forum thread rating system
I've been wondering about the actual rating.. just I kinda "like" it as a way acknowledge that you read a post. Unfortunately there aren't many options to it.. there is another extension sorta like it but I'm not sure how well it is supported

Re: Forum thread rating system
I like the likes or whathaveyou.
I really do hope we dont know people so low and lame to use something like that for neferious purposes...if so I hope they never met me in real life. I'll act a fool. I'll find your moms address and seduce her and make her disown you then ill dump her after selling everything in her home.

Re: Forum thread rating system
I like the likes too, and it reflects well on the avatar pane. I have not groked the mathematics on how those relate to general thread rating, but knowing that they are interrelated has done much to soothe my what-the-fuckness.
