Maybe, we'd need to look at all the pros :thumbsup: and cons :thumbsdow though:
- It would encourage people to behave in a good manner?
:up:
- It would also give a good structure for a Moderator electing system? :computer:
Then again:
- Those with bad ratings :fdevil: may decide to leave :teleport: as they can't express/be themselves.
:down:
- We might end up where things are so nice that people aren't honest, and were all living in a happy happy fairyforum :shakehead:
I though of that, but since the place in the link, still has 18,000 members, i dotn think that having a low rating will cause anyone to leave.
Plus, you can change your vote, like, you pissed my off, i'll give you a one. but if you help me out after that or something, i can change it to a higher number.
I dont think that it will every end up in a happy forum like atmosphere too many people set in their ways
It would be interesting to see how it worked. Maybe a user could cast a vote on another user once in a given 6hr period. You could do some interesting statistical analyses there as well. If J's studying Psychology, he'd have enough material for a thesis!
user ratings are just about as useless as thread ratings. i don't want little stars trying to tell me who to listen to, likewise with threads... also you could have trolls coming in and giving everyone a low rating... anyway, its a stupid system. any normal person can see who is smart and who is stupid.
