Rating Posts/threads

[briko3]

Is there a way we can set up a rating system for posts/threads. The reason I ask if for 2 reasons. First, I've been reading a lot of people on here complaining about where the forum is going. Second, a lot of people are getting frusterated with new people asking the same questions as have been asked multiple times before.

I feel like the problem is that the new people are looking for answers and find threads that are off topic, and don't answer with good information.

If there was a way we could rate threads based on the content covered and having good information, I believe we could solve both problems. Then if someone wanted to find a script (like every new person does) they could look at 5-star threads and ignore the 2 star ones.

So is that possible, and if it is, would you guys be up for it?

I just voted your thread a "five star" post

Look just above your post - you'll see a "rate thread" button, and it's very rarely used. Personally, I miss our little reputation boxes more than I wish the stars were more often used.

Mosts posts (mine included) are very rank...

Ha...there it is! I wish everyone would use it then! Is there a way to sort by ranking when looking at results? Now THAT would be handy

As far as I can see, you can organize forums by stars but not search results. Sad face!

All of Chumps posts deserve 5 stars. Sam should should issue a blanket 5 star rating to all of Chumps posts so we don't have to bother rating them. It would save us time.

Of course our buddy, Mark Rosenthal marks all of his threads 4 star.
