I just wish this option would go away. Rating a thread might be useful; rating a person just seems like a sneaky way to punish anyone you don't happen to like. Can't we just use the Ignore button in the profile, and forget they anonymous insult - which is how it's going to be taken?

Oh, yes, there are other threads to post comments like this in. I want it to be a separate discussion. Vote on that!

I am kidding Roger...I think it will be fine. Really - you don't have to look at your reputation ever. I am sorry I pointed that out...started out as funny - Shocked

@mismi,

Kind of wish the PMs were working, mismi. I've already seen a darker side to the system. You know? it's a case of generally agreeing with the voting majority, but not being willing to hurt the feelings of someone who is basically a nice person. I don't like it, and I'm not going to like it.

We had this feature on the old Abuzz forum. I didn't like it there, either.

Craven explained it pretty thoroughly on one of the recent Olde A2K threads to prepare us for the change. (I'll be back with a link if I can nab it.)

You are either avoiding the teacher or a very trusted student Alex... Wink

@roger,

I love it! It is so childish and immature. I feel like a kid again!

I just put a thumbs up by all of roger's posts. I also gave gargamel one on a different thread. I've been very busy.

Have I been using the rating system? Or are we speaking of something else?

Someone toss me a clue.

Here's the thread on the voting business -

http:///able2know.org/topic-120756-1

It shows as a link, but doesn't work.

It might show up later as a topic on craven's TOPICS, found by clicking on his screen name and choosing topics (it's @3 in a series of 4 preparation for the move topics.. I didn't find it now at first glance, though I found #2 and #4, and they work.

@Linkat,

Exactly.

I hate it.

I'm not going to use it.

Please make it go away.

@roger,

I just posted that somewhere else - I don't remember where though as you can
get lost very easily now.

Anyway, once you have lost your reputation, life seems so much more uninhibited, and that's where I live by.

Does anyone have a GPS for this site?
