	Who/how many of you actually rate the threads? Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Just wondering -- I don't myself.

I bet this thread'll get a one.

Nope, not me.

I wish it would disappear out of Light-style, but it's there because of the Civ3-files forum...

I don't normally rate threads.

But when someone asks that question I usually rate the thread with a 1. Sorry

OMG... there have been so many petitions to remove the feauture, but Markos *likes* it, so your question of "Mark, will you remove it?" will be answered with a "no".

I really enjoy some threads with low ratings, and don't pay attention to the stuff at all.

What a waste! It's a totally untrustworthy way to judge whether to view a thread. IMHO, this feature is a waste of processing power, bandwidth, and screen real estate.

Would love to see this feature removed. Thanks for the oppty to vent.

Jrabbit, while I'm seconding this, I really don't believe the request will be granted.

I never rate threads. Seldom vote in polls either

I've seen this topic in the past and noted the (apparently steadfast) refusal of site management to make a change. That's fine.

But this refusal does make me wonder why.......... Possible scenarios:

1. It's part of a (vBull?) software package and thus a real pain to excise.
2. It somehow helps the Mods in their duties.
3. MarkG really enjoys rating threads.

Frankly, it's in the "mostly harmless" category, but there's a part of me that resents anything that might slow down my load time without providing any discernable value.

I must say, I love Zopperoni's idea of having a Style or two where this feature is avoidable. Good thought!

	Increase the size of your Attachments

The ones that get rated seem to be either 1 or 5 - 1 if it is a flame war, 5 if it is a PBEM or succession game. It's good to see this one fall in between, I'll give it a 4.

I've rated only about 5 threads so far...

As of now, it has a collective two...

Better than I had hoped at this point

I allways give Suomithreadi a "5"

I like giving threads started by my enemies a "1".

I wish we had it way back when I visited the Civ III threads and discussed the looming game and eventually its release. To have sorted them by rating and eliminated the many repeated threads would have been great. I no longer visit them anymore after having been disenchanted by the game that I joined Apolyton for. I now visit the RoN, MOO3, and Other games forums the most and have little need for the forum ratings threads because it doesn't take long to read every new thread of any interest every day. But that said, for those in those forums such as OTF and Civ3, it would seem that people should start using the rating feature more as it would help there searchings for a forum to post in.

I go in as an equalizer...overall thread rating too low? I give it a 5. Thread rating too high? I give it a 1.

Other than that, I never bother.
