Do it up.
Also agree the quantity of rates should have some kind of an impact. Like someone with 200 five shroom ratings would have more of an impact than someone with 3 five shrooms. And vica versa with 0s.

Yes Shroomism. That is one of the points I brought up earlier. That would be a true "weighted" system. Perhaps it would be more difficult to implement, but it would be far superior to the one currently proposed. If a member has been here for years and has a high rating (I don't care if they are from OTD!) their rate of someone should be weighted higher than a n00b that just got here with one 5 rate.
Also, I mentioned the administration should have a different weight on their rates. That is, their opinion is worth more and should be counted as such.
Good comment.

This is gay. I don't see why old members should have more importance or credibility than the rest, this is nothing more than exclusivist, "old gentlemen club" bull-shit.

That's a good point. Being here for years does contribute to a person's knowledge of the Shroomery, or should, but it does not automatically guarantee the usefulness of their posts/persona. However, a person with numerous rates should be weighted heavier than a person with a single rate. I find it hard to argue against that. It is a mirror of what the community values. The value of a community is that the existence of the community has value. Circular, but axiomatic.

Why not just make the ratings system private, like you can only see your own ratings. That way OTD wouldn't piss everybody off and you could still get feedback from other members. I certainly don't care about someone's rating, just the quality of their post. It's always immediately obvious if somebody is a dickhead.

In the beginning, you couldn't tell who gave who what. It was anonymous. I can't remember why it was changed. I think it was because of cowards that were running around giving everyone zeros because they said, "Rates don't matter." With the current system a member has a chance to retaliate if they think it matters.

I just meant they should be private, ie, only you can see your own ratings. Then everyone would quit bitching about OTD and OTD wouldn't have any ammo against other members and nobody would get butthurt.

oic. If the rates were private the community wouldn't know much about you unless they read your posts. The rate system is supposed to be shorthand for that. And it works. Some people get all wanked out because they think a bad rate automatically makes you look bad. It might, but only to people who don't read who rated whom. Privatizing the rate system will not stop people from complaining about OTD or prevent OTD from being what it is. Life at the Shroomery consists of knowing what OTD is and accepting it if you want peace of mind. Evidently, some don't want that.
Turn on, tune in, drop out.

I think it would better serve that function if ratings were linked to single posts.

The Hive (for those you who know about it) used a system that rated individual posts based on a couple different criteria. The total number of good posts lent credibility towards the people making those posts. Only moderators/admins could make the call for ratings though.

"Soon", it's at the top of my to-do list along with the multiquote option I promised here. I need to think about some of the implementation details based on feedback in this thread.
