I've been on a lot of forums that have had the "Rate this Thread" feature, but I've never seen it used so frequently as it is on these forums. Is it one person, a couple people, or a whole group? I'm just curious who uses that feature and what your rating criteria is.

Don't use this feature. If I did, it would be to see what value the content has to me and others players. If its just trash talk, then down it goes. But threads that you and white frog starts with valuable info. Would be an example of high rating threads.

i only use it to 1-star spam thread and to 5-star threads (that are good) that got 1-starred from some nuisance

I rate threads.

1 star for the ones that are basically complete rubbish.

5 stars for ones that are worth a read.

I too rate threads, I do it for the KA forum so they know what is a good read or not. Its grown on me since I started doing that for the Kingdom Age forum.

I rate the spam/junk threads 1 star. I rate threads that are worth reading 5 stars.

That helps explain things. Most boards have this feature, but it's almost never used. Here it is and on most threads. It's just unusual.

I only rate threads I have strong feelings on.

Ditto what everyone already said. I rate the good ones, so that people will pay attention and gather the information.

The crappy spam, trash, and just plain waste of time... well they get 1 star for wasting my time!

I honestly had to look around to figure out how to do it as a result of this thread.

like i said, always some doucher whose rating threads down for no reason. this was a 3-star. i just rated it. should have gone up. Why rate THIS thread down? pointless... some people..

I rate threads as well as report them. Spam threads, 1 star and report. Others, depends on what value they add to the gaming experience. Some I don't rate at all even if I post in them such as this one.

As above, I rate, in a very simplistic manner...

1 star for Economy/Camping threads, 5 star for threads about Respect, fighting or Rat Catching. It's a simple but effective use of the system. :D

I think you just helped me determine a new rating strategy. It's just like yours... but the opposite. :D

like i should know. Typing sucks at expressing sarcasm. Kinda like how my dad sucks at expressing his fatherly love by whipping me.. *sarcasm*

I rated ur thread 5 stars at the beginning :D

I'm usually the one who rates thread for no reason...just boosting my boredom
