Besides shouldn't you be able to judge the integrity of someone's cultivation advice/knowledge just by reading their posts on it?





not always, there've been a few in cult that make out like they know it all and
within a week of 'busting a myth' are asking questions regarding things they've
already given bad advice on.

Hey,

This is an interesting idea but I think it would be kind of redundant. The whole purpose of the rating's "comment" field is so you can clarify what the rating is for. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Peace,

By that logic, there shouldn't be a need for trade ratings either. The way I see it, the general rates are for your opinion of that poster's personality, while the trade rates are for how good a trader they are. So it makes sense that if people want to know who to trust in the cult forums, there should be a similar point of reference to let them know how good a cultivator someone is. I know of at least one former member who was widely respected as a cultivator, but was a complete instigator in OTD. I'm sure that for many people, the reverse is true. I think that the popularity of a poster and their expertise in mycology should be treated as separate issues.

No.
The general rating is for everything you find good or bad about a person, except anything that has to do with trading goods.

I think the two rating systems that are in place are all that's needed. I mean, do you actually judge someone on this site wholly by all their ratings? I look through to see what people have said about them but only REALLY take note of the comments made by people who I already know I have a certain rapport with, people whose judgment I would trust. And the trade ratings have a place, just like ratings on eBay have a place.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

well no i dont judge anyone by them, it jsut, well it gives you some kind of better overwiev.

especially for people who axx the shroomery soley for mycological use this third rating thingie
i suggested would be such a charm.

but many people came up with good ideas why it wouldnt be so good so i guess,
itll just stay some idea.
still wanted to point it out.

i can see huge potential for abuse here... just look at the ways we have now to determine a user's likability/knowledge... we have post counts, which tell you how much a person participat5es, and ratings, which tell you what other users think of a user...

post counts are regularly inflated artificailly by the infamous plus one...

general ratings are manipulated by all manner of whoring...

a cultivation rating will be similarly abused... i predict you'll see people lurking in the cult forums, waiting to pounce on a q from a newbie, all rushing to cut and paste an answer from the archives in with the hopes that their cultivation knowledge will be recognised...

cult ratings whores? we don't need em.

I think it fine as it stands.

Anyone can post ratings about anything, but it seems you get the most GOOD ratings quickly, by posting good info in the Mushroom Forums. Anyone who wants to improve their rating (without throwing their Karmic balance off) can spend a few weeks helping N00BS in the Cultivation Forum.

Can you explain why trading should be the exception but not mycology?

You are beating a dead horse.
The trade rating is an exception for dozens of reasons, I don't have time nor am I willing to discuss this with you.
I am closing this thread.
