Raising personal ratings

[rk2009]

I was in another thread recommending not to clone reference letters and I was rated down 5 times , like the posters above said some others took pity on me and thought I provided valuable advice and rated me up to zero.

Regardless of what we each say, we do keep a watch on the corner of the screen for that rating

YOU CAN WRITE ANYWAY YOU WANT!

Some of us just won't know what you are saying.

Apparently someone doesn't like me once a day lol. i go down one everyday and then go up because some other poor soul decided I was good enough to go up. It would be good to see which post made me go down 1 lol.

SO I SHOULDN'T WRITE LIKE THIS LOL.

Check this out, i have not done a thing for last 24 hours and all of a sudden my rating is +1............ huuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.
We need some new kind of science to figure this out.... ;D

So maybe that means you should stay idle

No, actually, it just means that somebody read and rated a post of yours that was more than 24 hours old.

Since this thread is drawing a more profound type of commentary than I originally expected, let me weigh in again with a proposal.

We should have an awards night, a few months hence. We could give awards for :
(1) Most efficient naysayer (s/he who accumulates the greatest number of minus votes with the smallest number of posts).
(2) The most prolific rose thrower (the one who writes a lot of “feel good” posts -- substantive advice or information not required).
(3) Fact-giver extraordinaire (self-explanatory).
(4) Wrong-o Champeen. S/he who gives erroneous advice and must be corrected.
(5) Other categories?

A few members seem to devote a lot of time to reading every post n every category. We could elect three judges from their ranks (with their permission, of course), and they would give us their verdicts in (say ) 2 months.

What say yee?

great idea! sometimes I get impression that rating has its own life

I went through a whole day without someone dinging me down one, which seemed to happen everyday.
perhaps they did but someone gave me a +1 and it all canceled out.

Are we going to be able to see who is rating us in the future? I keep getting rated down, and am in fact one of the worst posters on the entire forum according to my rating. I don't agree with that. It would be nice to know who keeps rating me.

Karlshammer, for the longest time, i would go -1 everyday. It hasn't happened today (at least overall I haven't gone down yet for the day). Say someone rates me down for a post then would like to know how i was wrong in what i had said.

I rated you up, I think you provide neutral opinion and are extremely helpful, unfortunately you still are at -5

I would love to see a feature where I can see historical ratings :

Thanks, rk2009!

I know what you mean, rupeshhari. That's why I think we should be able to see who rated us; if people are willing to put their two cents into someone's rating they should be willing to put their name forward to them as well.

This is so true. I don't know why but I keep on looking at it, even if its just for kicks.
