The lost art of thread rating

Tru · 22 Sep 2005 at 13:22

Why do hardly any threads get rated these days? The odd comedy thread gets a 5 but rubbish threads escape the ignominy of a 1.

I'm going to rate every thread I read today and I beseech you to follow my example, start with this one, I'm obviously rating it a 5 (everyone rates their own threads 5, right?), but you can rate it 4 if you like.

If every thread had stars I could simply sort by rating and watch the gold rise to the top like comedy cream.

When people get home from work and school tonight and open the forums they'll be like, "omf wtg?", and we'll be like, "what up?", and they'll be like, "pwetty stars!", and we'll be like, "oh them? they're OK". It'll be so cool.

Go forth and rate, my pretties.

I'm loving the enthusiasm in here. So far I've dished out mainly 3's, the Ninja thread got a 5 because I'm in it, I gave out a few 1's as well. Feel free to update us on your rating adventure, and ask questions in here if you're not sure how the system works.

Liking the sig Marv. I'm going to have to put something in mine too, the campaign is off to a sluggish start.

I think 5 is the minimum before ratings show up. Keep it up people.

89 votes in this thread, 13 more and it's a forum record.

Things are going well so far, I've noticed all the 1 and 2 star threads have fallen away from the 1st page. Maybe they're being avoided or maybe people are thinking twice before creating crappy threads.
