I'm not all steamed about this or anything.
Don't get me wrong.
But I am a little surprised more wasn't made of this when the ratings were put into place.
And I place myself in that category btw.
But maybe there can be one last gasp.
This place from the beginning ( and I have been around here a little while)..
was about saying what you think regardless of how popular it was.
Let's face it, many of us are misfits in everyday society.
Can we have at least ONE place to escape being labeled?
My gut feeling is that many people reading this know what I'm saying and agree.
Just remember, your silence is counted as a vote in favor.
And this is the last I'll ever say about it.
Thanks for listening.

I pay more attention to the number of rates than the number of shrooms. The higher the number of rates, the more that person has effected people, for good or ill. Then I look at their posts, and make my personal determinations from there. I know some people I really like who only have one shroom, but many rates, and I enjoy their posts...

I guess I don't really care either way. I don't really look at them, and my rating has ALWAYS been 3. It hasn't gone up or done. Not a lot of people take the time to vote.

One other benefit of dumping the ratings system occured to me.
It would cut down on sock puppets, saving The Shroomery resources used on redundant accounts.
I would like to see a graph showing number of users before and after the ratings were implemented.
I'll bet there was a big spike. (People rating themselves).

I agree with you but I rated you a ONE hahaha! Just kidding I didn't rate you at all yet. Yeah I think the ratings are somewhat meaningful. If someone has one mushroom and 17 total rates, then hmmm. It makes judging people easier. RATE ON!!!

I don't know-I think ratings are good, but on the other hand sock puppets are bad. I think I got attacked by sock puppets. I don't post anything offensive and am always nice to people. Well except for some person who's name was stealth, but anyway ratings can be misleading because I have a 2 shroom rating yet I have never ripped anyone off, made a mean comment to anyone (except stealth and noone liked him anyway) and am always trying to help people out. Just my 2 cents

Not all sock puppets are bad. I know some who helped you out ratings-wise when Stealth was attacking you! 
Stealth was a troll! There are some socks who are friendly and good!
