Thread ratings seem kind of dumb
1-ratings just seem like people being anonymously passive-aggressive douchey and as a whole they just seem superfluous. Like is anyone looking at the thread view and saying "I don't know what homestuck is but THE THREAD FOR IT HAS FIVE STARS, this has made a major contribution to my thread-rating plans for this evening"?
Just throwin' that out there.

Yes, it's so not like our Rep system, which is ofcourse a merit badge of pride and honor so that we can all wave our e-peens around!
...no, but really, i also never saw much of a point on Thread ratings... never used. |

I only rate threads when the subject of rating threads comes up in a thread. I rated this thread because someone mentioned rating threads in the opening post. I gave it five of those green things. which depending on which color you like more might be worth just as much as one red glowy thing. Personally I like red better, but the red light seemed so lonely.
Rating threads is probably an artifact from the dawn of the internet. When forums slowly took form someone must've thought it was a good idea to give the users the ability to put their stamp of approval on something to let others know how great it is. No one ever used it. Except maybe people who are new to this whole internet or forum story and think these ratings are something important people pay attention to. Like "My, this thread about thread ratings has such a poor rating. I should probably not read that". In reality most people probably don't even notice the thread had a rating until they started reading it. Because ratings aren't displayed in "New Posts" and who the hell browses the forums any other way? You? Well okay, if you do that's your thing, I'll just let you know that my way to browse is vastly superior to yours because I said so. >:(

This is irrelevant, I want nega-rep back. Some of you people have way too many green boxes and its likely enforcing the delusion that you make good posts.
Unlike myself, who obviously deserves all of his wonderous little quadrilateral laurels of excellence. |
