Thread ratings seem kind of dumb

To catch up on this topic in order:

Thread ratings suck, I have to keep putting five blocks on threads just to keep their ratings afloat.

The system for tricking others into repping you is a fucked up inverse sideways deal. Hell, I got most of my rep back when my posting drove NonCon into confronting me via thread. But I'm not stupid enough to try to replicate that situation.

And you guys need to go outside more, Torchic is that starter pokemon that gets that sea of underage japanese ass these days (at first because it's cute and a great way to start conversations then once it evolves it can single-handedly wipe out several of the Elite Four).

In all honesty, I've only remembered that thread ratings even exist maybe three times in the four years I've been here, and this is one of those three times.

That said, taking a cursory glance at the general subforum and actually bothering to notice the ratings, I can kinda see how they might be getting out of control. Granted, I didn't bother looking at the threads themselves but considering how many of them are rated average to poor (whereas no one rating it ever leaves, you guessed it, no rating) it does seem like people are mainly just being dicks with them.

Seems like a lot of effort you guys put into a pointless feature to me.

Clearly, you all just need to make better rated threads then. :P

I think our low rating is an inherent problem of leaving it uneducated masses, stupified by their dazzling power. Clearly a team of appropriately educated and industry trained experts should rate threads in concord.
