Rating Discussions -- apparently something new
Who is rating discussions (and why would we want to)? What are we rating -- how well the rules of the forum were followed? how deep of a question was asked? how much we like the poster of the question? (Just Kidding on that one)
If we're going to rate these things, could we see an Amazon-style breakdown of how many forum members rated the discussion with how many stars'

I must admit, at present I can see no advantage whatsoever. In fact it could deter someone from contributing if his or her posts continually received a low rating.
I agree. Especially since . . . if you accidentally quick the wrong number of stars there is no way to fix or it, or even see what you've done.
Well I've just seen a posting, no names no pack drill and it has a five star rating yet it hasn't had any replies. Is the poster rating his own post'

The only thing I ever rate is products that I have personally used. I don't like rating discussions as ratings are always subjective. What I find useful, another may find remedial or even useless. Just my opinion, so I hope no one is offended.
Sokuhl, I agree with you. I personally do not like rating. It is very subjective.
WEll, I have rated your discussion with 5 stars and 2 were added.
I am personally not a fan of the rating system....but i will lead somebody to your question.
P.S. Why does it say "Rating" and then "Rate:", but after "Rate:" it says "View Discussions"'
