LisaB,

Don`t let that change your mind at all.  The rating rants are fun to read, an while I do (did they are gone now) look at them, they were not the reason I chose to read, or respond to a topic.

All people (no not all, most) have a problem when they are told something that they may not like, but (even haven never met you) I know that you will at some point have a nugget of information, a view point, an answer to a question posed that has the ability to change even one persons life.  Is that not what we all are here for?   I have posted several times, and have waited for a response, the questions that are asked here with a pure heart are asked because people are seeking YOUR input.  The people that get upset, mad, or anything but thankful for each and every reply that they get from the good people here at SuN are people that are talking to hear themselves talk and that is all.  They are not looking for answers or for help they simply want people to read what they write and say "wow, this poster was right on and is the savior, how did I make it through life with out him/her"  The people here (from what I have seen and read) are not ever going to say that.  I don`t care if I am a 1 or a 1 million, I know that I, as you will, will help someone and that is what this is all about.

Please, keep reading, keep posting and help me succeed in my business and personal life.  If you do that, then you are always going to be a 100 no matter what any one or any rating system say.

Any way, that is what I think! 

If the rating system even makes on SuN member feel this why then I think it should be done away with completely.

 

Some people have suggested a thumbs up approach to “rating” each other, this is the best idea that I have seen so far.  (And Joel if you are reading this, you know the amount of coffee I drink so I do a lot of reading)  This would allow people to have a positive experience here at the SuN nation.  Grading each other if done in a positive and constructive way is essential to our growth, but with no feed back, as has been stated, how do we grow and is that not what this is about.  If I go up or down in my rating, if I, as Lisa stated, do not know why it is useless information.  Also, having to tell me why you lowered my “rating” will keep people honest!  I would not simply be able to make you a 1 for the “fun” of it.  I would, and I believe that it must be public, have to explain why.  You did not post an answer to the question of the original post, you….ect.  Then people will know why your rating is the way it is.  This way, new people like me and Lisa will be able to tell who it is we are talking to.

I did not even get a rating until I posted my “fun” topic about coffee.  If a rating system is to be used, and I feel that it should, then why not have a team of people either at SuN or within it who’s “job”, for a lack of a better term it is to rate new members based on the post and topics that they contribute, that way they have a more “true” number then open it up to the “general” SuN Nation public.  From there they will be able to see who, and why the number they have has changed.

Any way, need more Coffee!

Thank you for your time.  And I hope to see you post from time to time Lisa!

Tony

I realize I`m a little late to the party but I figured I`d ask just in case another member has the same question. Has the rating system been abolished? I don`t see any trace of it in user profiles or posts so I can only assume it`s been laid to rest?

Also, it was nice following the discussion and seeing the administration take into consideration feedback from the community.

Hi Mason,

Yes the ratings went by the wayside. I joined about a year and a half ago and we had them for awhile. As you can see from the prior posts it did get heated at times. There were some that really abused it and it was eventually fazed out.

If I gave a best answer to everyone across the board it would not be meaningless, it would mean that all the answers provided useful information about my question. It means you have all given me something to think about, it would not mean that I am going to ignore your advice and do what I want anyways.

For example, some people question the online shopping better?

You can answer: a few days ago, I sold at a shop online for a few things, their speed of delivery and service attitude I'm satisfiedwith the intention of having to go to his Web site look really good!

Great insight it good information.

Each question is rated.  Each answer has the ability to be chosen as `best answer`.  After the question has been resolved, the community has the opportunity to vote a thumbs up or thumbs down on the best answer.  On occasion the asker does not choose a `best answer`, but sends the qustion to a vote, then the community votes on it, and chooses a `best answer`.
