Stereotyping does nothing to alter my understanding and is not a valid opinion that can prove anything.

Your full of assumptions my friend.
You have no understanding of what I've said at all.
Can I ask you a question?
Have you ever thought about what people may think of you because of what you wear?
Do you have any tattoos or piecing?

What's the point? First off, it shouldn't be hard to make the connection between a bunch of consecutive zero ratings made by people with low ratings themselves and some sort of rating rape.
Secondly what's the difference between 4.1 and a 4.4, especially if I know they're weighted. It's a minute difference that 1) probably won't satisfy many people (I'm assuming this is a change proposed to lighten the load of OTD rating rapes and ratings from shitty puppets on those who get upset about it) since the changes will most likely be a small change to most ratings and 2) people will still get slews of zeros and see that and be pissed, whether those zeros are weighted or not.
I'm sure the vote will pass, so be it, but it just seems pointless to me. Will it change trade rates that much? Those are really the only truly relevant ratings.

No I'm not talking about that.
I'm simply saying that everyone cares about what others think of them to some extent and its not necessarily a bad thing if they have a valid view and you learn from it.
Hell I've had so many things pointed out to me here.
I had a choice ignore them and continue with a flawed belief system or grow and learn from the experience. Thats all I'm saying.
Its not that ratings on a website matter but that communication with people can be beneficial.

Ideally, the rating of a poster on a website should reflect the quality of his or her posts, no?

Sure, quality is ultimately subjective. But that's the point of taking the average of many people to determine a consensus about a particular poster's quality.
To willfully give someone a negative rating and then defend this with the argument that ratings are on the Internet, therefore they don't matter seems illogical.

Sure, and if someone has a 3.0, and another person is curious about someone's ratings because they want to know what quality that poster is, they can easily check the ratings of not only the 3.0 poster but the people who have rated him as well. I mean if you really want to know about a person (say they gave you a piece of advice and you're curious to see if they're trustworthy) go and check why they got the ratings they got. It shouldn't be hard to see if someone has a shitty rating because they dish out bad ratings and insults, if they have bad ratings because they're a fucking idiot, or if they have bad ratings because all they ever do is rate puppets zeros and get retaliatory ratings.

I had the joy of a ratings rape my very first day here, but I still voted to keep things the same.
I look at it kind of like a right of passage, most people who venture into OTD get one.
Like others have said, it's really only the trade ratings that matter. If someone looked at my low general rating and really wanted to see where it came from they could simply see who posted the zeros and put 2 and 2 together very quickly.
OTD is just these people's home away from 4chan. /b/tards have their place in the world, just accept them and move on.
