Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Just delete OTD. No more rating raping, gone be the loser trolls, free up some bandwidth. Problem solved.
OTD is obviously the reason you're even considering this, so why not just get rid of that crap? First cut off the fuel, then put out the fire.

I'm amazed at the number of people on a site that deals with psychedelics a great deal of the time that are unable to get OTD.

I have logged in this once so that I can set the "last seen" feature up. let the faggots flow forth into OTD and have it. Its funny how they all grew nuts after I left. I'm not here, I'm not reading, but I urge you all to keep melting down over me. I know, I hurt alot of people, and they deserved it. epic win for me, epic fail for you.
ythan, you rock dude. i feel that my time at the shroomery was very positive and enjoyable, but this site is no longer for me. im not mad or upset or disappointed, i just want no part in a pg rated faggot festival.

I think ratings (other than trade) are pretty unimportant, the only thing that I think is negative about the whole ratings rape thing is that new members to the community often stumble into the OTD thinking its just some place for random chatter only to get a wave of nigger and scat porn hahahah
I fear this might turn out potential contributors to this great place and its wealth of knowledge. Though I dont think theres another place on the web like this one, I certainly don't think we should scare away the new kids for posting their akward "hi! I'm new! What species of magik shroomz are the best and also the easiest to grow?" in the wrong place

Thanks for attempting to fix something that is obviously broken. As someone who was intimately involved in creating the rate system in the first place (MattS was a close friend and associate), I pay particular attention to rates. I see there are three camps of thought here at the Shroomery:
1) Those with low rates who say rates don't matter while running around attempting to prove their point by passing out zeros like popcorn to pigeons.
2) Those with near perfect rates who say rates don't matter because they can afford to say that.
3) Those who think rates matter but remain silent on the issue for fear of those in camp 1 will rate them merely to be malacious.
Let me say this before I comment directly on the proposed change. Rates matter, here's one example. I am a Trusted Identifier in the Hunting forum. As such, I have an opportunity to tell you if your mushroom will be good to eat, good to trip or poison you. I have, at times, withheld that information based on a person's rates. If I have the time and some bumblefuck wanders into the forum looking for an ID with an extremely low rate, I'll do a review of his rates and the people who rated him. If I find that good people, meaning those who take rates seriously and are good members of the community, have rated a person with zeros I have, and this is rarely, withheld the information. My ID's are mine to give to who I choose. If you really are an asshole you can get an ID from someone else, not me.
I think your idea is a good one but doesn't go far enough. Weighted rates are a good idea but here is what I would add. There are some long-standing members of the community that everyone loves. Ripple is the first one that comes to mind. A Veteran with lots of good rates should have more impact than someone who has fewer rates. Also, since the administration has such tremendous responsibility their rates should count for more as well. In other words, the more good rates you have, the more your rate should count. If such a weighted system could be created it would be superior to the one currently proposed.
I especially appreciate your request for input. It should make the membership feel valued. Thanks for the opportunity to feedback.
MM

I think that a user should have the option of disabling images from being posted in the ratings others leave for them.
I second this. Not because I care that the OTDtards posts pictures of their girlfriends' ugly vaginas. But because other people might be offended by it. And also because of bandwidth issues.

The "Trusted" tags are based on something other than the ratings you get from people and what their ratings are though, right?

That is correct. TI tags are the result of performance as evaluated by the current moderators of the forum. Also, if you are a former mod of the forum you get one as that has been a criterion for being a mod of the forum (at least in the hunting forum).

If we do this, it gives the more senior members of OTD a chance to absolutely obliterate your ratings (most of them have hundreds of +5s).
Its also unfair, in a sense that one users opinion is worth more than another, based on what other people have said about that user.
There is no democratic way to resolve the 'ratings rape' issue, as a rating is another members opinion of a member.
This whole internet butt hurtz over ratings is starting to get ridiculous.
