Honestly 4 stars folks thanks alot.

I liked the old star system and the date saying when we registered....this new voting crap stinks

Sorry just pouting.....I want my purty yellow stars back.

[poocat]

well, i don't know about you, but i sort of think that four stars isn't bad at all... i mean, if 5 is as good as it gets, then i'd assume that only people like cipher/the mods who are truly useful almost all of the time should have 5, and the other people should have 1-4 based on how nice/informative/useful their postings are... so, based on such a system (which is purely my own creation, i know) you're not doing badly at all?

hey, it's a theory.

poocat.

[sek929]

Thanks poocat, but I still want 5.....just because I believe I deserve them being here for as long as I have been (longer than Ciph in fact)...I say bring back the other ones, this rating system is just gonna cause problems.[*]null

[poocat]

yeah, i hear it.
the colored stars were the bomb.

oh well.
we'll see what happens.


poocat.

[opallaser]

Can someone please give me a rating of 1 ? Surely it must be more cool to only have one star

[bobette]

There there opallaser... Such a pleasure!

LMAO



These ratings suck @ss. What is this, a popularity contest?

Blech.

[mr_sonicblue]

If they changed the word "Rating" to "Karma", people would be raving for the stuff

[bobette]

mr_sonicblue, yes I agree... Or �genitalia size�!

[imacaholic]

I like Karma, especially on popcorn or apples.

that only works for men tho...i think. anyway. i dont think rating really means anything. you know some random jerk is going to go through the forums and rate everyone down or something. maybe that jerk will be me? haha, at any rate, i dont think we should be concerned with ratings. they mean nothing.

[Cipher13]

Its fraught with problems.

People registering multiple accounts to rate themselves up, and others down.
People rating others down due to a difference in opinion.
And so forth.

Its not an accurate indication of anything.

If you click on "my profile", you can hide your status. I suggest everyone does it if administration won't turn it off completely...

BTW, I like the size of this text window

[Nimisys]

wow i am surprised i don't have a rating of one...i am sure i have angered a few of you... not that thats the goal or anything

[tie]

Unfortunately, only ratings of four or five actually show up. So if you don't have a rating, you're probably rated one (<font color = blue>l</font><font color = red>i</font><font color = green>k</font>e<font color = blue> </font><font color = red>m</font><font color = green>e</font>!).

I was surprised to see the relatively low # by my name. <font face = "courier">The post count is still there at the bottom of each post though</font> I think I rate 'senior member' just for longevity, have the 'elite etc' for members with a real post count

<font color = red>Lots of new features with this version of UBB</font>. Nice

[noliv]

I'm very surprised to see that someone rated me!!
I wanted to hide this in my profile before, but now that I'm rated...

oh I just don't care, it won't change anything in my posts.

(just trying to put color in hexadecimal)

[pete.z]

Maybe it's just me,but I really don't care what other people think of me!
I know i'm at least worth 6 stars....
Very good self esteem here....

[scaught]

whats up with these ratings anyway? how do they work? is it an average of the rating everyone else gives you? did i miss the memo that outlined this info?

[parallax]

I think we're going to disable soon it if stuff like this continues.
Probably, though, after I hack the original stars (Yellow/Blue/Red).

[sek929]

Sweeeet I looove them purty yeller stars.

And will the number of your registration be replaced with the date you registered on as well?

[fobside]

i wanna know what nice...but stupid...person gave me a 5? i guess these stars arent based on knowledge because last i checked im way behind in the knowledge bank in these mac forums. if you wanna talk about stupid things ive done...i think im up there, but definitely not in mac knowledge. thanks whoever that was...

[Belle]

Well, before the ratings disappear I really should thank whoever gave me five stars. The only thing I can be sure of is it's someone who doesn't read my posts.

Oh, and whoever you are, you forgot to tell me where to mail the envelope stuffed with dollar bills?

[nigeljedi]

...can't complain...don't have any stars...

Your wish has been granted.

[murbot]

I had 5 stars, now they're gone!

i had 5 stars as well and then they disappeared. i just hid ratings after that. no big deal...theyll all be gone in a bit.

[krove]

I do like the karma idea in that it can supplement the star status based on post count: the boards @ http://www.ambrosiasw.com are setup so that mods and admins "bless" people for whatever reason to increase their karma. Kinda of cool...an idea to throw out there.

There was a karma/bless hack for UBB5, I am sure that in the next few months there will also be a UBB6 version...

It is an interesting idea...

[nigeljedi]

...hey, thanks for the stars!

[nigeljedi]

...guess they'll be gone soon anyway...
Oh well.

[thirtyfootsmurf]

Hehe, oops... :o
Sorry about that... j/k

I really dont like this rating system...
