sarah_ab Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I was wondering if in regards to the rating system, after you click + or - there could be a confirmation box that asks if you are sure you want to rate the post positive or negative. There have been a few times where i incidentally clicked a negative instead of a positive and there was no way to reverse my vote. 9 Link to comment
diamondback6881 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I agree. I've done that a couple of times. Link to comment

Darkfinn Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Can we just remove the rating or "rep" completely? It's not like it does anything... it's just an arbitrary number. 1 Link to comment
sarah_ab Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 it is not just an arbitrary number it is there to encourage countless posts about how its not necessary and should be taken away. if its so unnecessary and pointless why is everynoe so concerned with it? 1 Link to comment
Sophie ♥ Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 IMO, from what I've read about this sort of thing in another thread... I'm in support of putting only a positive rep button to encourage good posting but not bash on folks for their opinions. As unfortunate as it is... people tend to abuse the rating system. But on topic, personally, I never clicked the wrong button. Then again, I don't rate much. -Sophie 2 Link to comment

I've always found it ironic that people don't like say me posting a negative thing so in turn, they feel it's okay to give me negative feedback and tell me to be positive!?!? HUH??? Link to comment

Sarah how are you at punching butterfly ballots. I can just imagine a case going to the supreme court because someones ratings on daily diapers is lower than it should be because some people hit the wrong button Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 if its so unnecessary and pointless why is everynoe so concerned with it? I don't know... you asked in the first place. Put it this way... you could have +1000 or -1000 and nobody cares, it won't actually effect anything you do at all on this site. I have seen another site where the system is used to grant rewards and special privileges, but it has turned into a giant popularity contest based more upon who a person is rather than the quality what they are talking about. Thus is why I advocate its removal. Link to comment
sarah_ab Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 ive stated before i like the rating system. its just interesting how many people are so forceful in saying the rating system doesn't matter, but in the same breath argue for why it shouldn't exist and is bad... if it doesn't matter than i wonder why people keep bringing it up! to me... i like it, its why i asked about the option Link to comment
Sophie ♥ Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I like the system too. Its revolutionary. But I am not so sure everyone on this board is responsible enough to use it properly. Honestly, I like it a lot more now that DailyDi added a cap. -Sophie Link to comment
sarah_ab Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 i'm responsible enough, i use up all my positive rep points on myself and give negative rep points to everynoe who doesn't agree with me 100% lol 1 Link to comment
Sophie ♥ Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 If only we could all take a page from your book, Sarah, the world would be a better place. -Sophie Link to comment
