I was just curious if anyone has considered turning off the Ratings feature on the forums? It would seem a lot of people don't much care for it, as they don't accurately represent whether or not a poster is helpful or was previously helpful. There are a lot of people giving good help and advice, and receiving negative ratings, from people who don't like the advice, don't speak good English, etc. I have well over 200 posts, and have 13 positive and 12 negative ratings. That would suggest that 50% of the time, my answers are unhelpful, rude, irrelevant, etc, which is simply not the case.
Can this feature please be turned off? I believe a better way to tell whether or not someone is helpful/accurate/etc, is by their post count, which is already visible to everyone. These are the people that post more often, trying to help, being knowledgeable, etc.
Thank you.
