Why should anyone have to "plead their case"? If there's no ratings, there's no chance that you'll have to defend yourself against abusive or false claims. People can see where you're at by directly reading what you have to say.

The ratings system just seems like an invitation to childish name calling to me. And I don't have alot of time to post. I would consider it a big waste of time to have to defend myself against people who hate me for being against meat eating, or for my religious beliefs.

Except in the forums where it matters... In the pub or the other weird ass forums, no ratings dont matter... In mushcult where dipshits confidently give wrong information, potentially causing loss of real life money spent on overpriced noob traps... looking into their ratings is basically checking their credentials, and in turn extremely helpful,

I agree.  I've already said that it makes sense in merchandise forums. But it should be eliminated in other forums like the pub where it is not necessary and actually is a detriment.

It would be nice if a link to a post was required to leave a general rating.

If I see BongRips420 has 2/5, I would be able to sort his ratings by forum. If all of his cultivation/identification ratings are 5/5, and it's pointless forums dragging him down, that'd be helpful. I'd be more than willing to throw him a print or two.

We just suffered opt-outs in MH&I and Cult for the longest time. Problem is if you ignore them and they started a "San Francisco Bay Area 2016" then you can't see the thread.

Or just make ratings applicable to meaningful forums, like Getting Started, Cult, Adv Cult, Hunting, Microscopy, EBG, TPE, ODD, Marketplace... and a fair warning of "If you opt out of ratings, you will no longer be able to access the forums listed below".

It really stinks having these people in the mushroom forums. They have no accountability unless they break rules (which, oddly enough, they frequently do).

I'll give out encouraging ratings to new growers and new pickers, even if they kind of suck as a person, because that doesn't matter. His or her drive to become a better grower or picker is what matters... and we can't see that if they don't have ratings enabled. I'd rather spend an hour helping a new guy than helping an opt out. It's hard to judge his or her character; i.e., if they're even going to read what advice people give them. If they're an opt out troll then everyone just wasted their time.

anyone think it would be cool to have an anon option for when you rate people?

just like how you can anon +1 someone.

also i think it would be a good idea to be able to pick which +1 or ratings you want anon and which ones you dont instead of having all your +1s anon.

But yeah, opt outs are a problem in cult and mh&i, then they move onto marketplace, and people are unhappy. If someone had left "grows in his mom's house and is a snitch" as a general rating, that's something I'd like to know before I sent him swabs for his microscope. It's really the mushroom forums guys I dunno if you get the bleed over or not in EBG or TPE but there's a certain point that new growers could benefit from. A month or two ago there was a guy purposefully using old archival stuff to help new growers. Now that leaves unhappy people.

DavidReishi in MH&I, a bad troll and bad person since day one through and through and just now recently banned. Hashed. The Five Mushroom rating system should be helpful for the Mushroom forums.

Opt out can gtfo. If we are here voluntarily giving our time to help these people with mycology work, we deserve to at least know if we are wasting our time or not. It is nice spending time with a beginner and troubleshooting and informing but if they're a puppet troll trying to get 50 posts it sucks. We get the Facebook bleedover, too.

It would be nice if we could have a rating for the mushrooms / mycology / psychedelic boards to stand alone. This perhaps would be activated based on the weight of a members activity level in those boards. So if you have only 10% of your posts in those boards you cannot give ratings for that section. Would keep down abuse by those who do not post there.

Just as shitty people hide their ratings there are also some good people who have opted out to avoid rapes etc. Inski opted out and he didn't even have a low average. He had a 5 shroom average when he opted out. By having a seperate system for myco related boards we can not only avoid abuse but also recognize people who are good vs bad.

no.  the system is fine the way it is.  there will be no 'ratings for this forum, different ratings for that one." that is stupid.  if you're a piece of crap in one place you're a piece of crap in another.  if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then it's a fucking duck.



as for the endrogenous guy whoever you are.  everything you are saying is exactly what an opt out would say.





I dont remember why i made this thread for

Right. But you don't contribute in the forums where it would be most beneficial and actually matters. Opt-outs are detrimental, and bounce around mushroom forums indiscriminately being assholes with no accountability.

We had an opt-out who was finally banned for purposefully spreading old info to be an ass, we had David in MH&I, Fractal/Hashed in both, that other guy in MH&I last year, and it's a legitimate problem.

From what I've seen mods like to give people the benefit of the doubt in mushroom forums which is great because I believe in harm reduction and people having access to knowledge. However, these people take the mods' kindness as weakness and indiscriminately misidentify, misinform, or be trolling hate magnets. That is why it needs to be fixed, or why they shouldn't be allowed in the mushroom forums. The reason opt-out options even exist is because of butthurt crybaby community forums.

Two mushroom mods think something should be fixed or tweaked. I value their opinions much more than yours.

No opt out. Reading the ratings can be super entertaining.

I would disable ratings everywhere except where they matter... EBG...MUSH CULT (and the like)... MARKETPLACE... Other than that what purpose does it serve other than a popularity contest? Y'all can just +1 the shit out of comments..

some folks are people pleasers with a need to be liked and accepted by others.  I'd never trust a people pleaser.  They tend to flip flop their opinions and beliefs depending who is around them at any particular moment.  They're wishy washy, lack in character, and cant make decisions cause they have no conviction and stand for nothing.  :shrug:
