Get rid of it! (voted for no too)
Reasons: already mentioned mainly by Frank

But it seems like it was already removed from the system.
At least I do not see any stars anymore

People with bad ratings really are often self to blame and I don't see why people would give anyone a 1 star rating just because they disagree. Kind of immature....

First of all: This topic is finished. Rating is gone now.

But I can tell you what an immature behaviour is: Punishing people with bad ratings and creating a dozen user accounts only for this task

Maybe you did not read this thread so I summarize it a bit: Some users who did very good work and good contributions for the community had rather bad ratings while other with no contributions at all had high ones. The rating was just a tool for punishments (mainly done in Morbius, so with no relation to game development at all).

And the poll tells that most users are happy that it is gone.

You mean that people only are able to add positive points and no negative points? That might work, but there still will be idiots making a dozen accounts just to 'rate themselves'.



True, the rating is gone, but the topic isn't closed... for obvious reasons...



I am happy too that it is gone and I DID read this thread. Users were asked about their opinion and I gave mine. Don't assume things.

Anyways, all I'm saying is that some people really were self to blame for getting negative ratings, regardless of their excellent contributions in the past. I don't say it's right, all I'm saying is that it makes sense in my opinion.



Yes, I totally agree and although it's probably superfluous to say... it wasn't me doing that.

Ok... suggestion: Another theme. I'm used to dark text on light ground.

You can choose such one. There are 2 other themes, one of them is white.

Well user rating has one great advantage, if some user posts real nonsense you just rate him down and immediately feel better . And if you see someone posts nonsense and look at his rating and see you already rated him one star, you know this user tends to post nonsense. So I vote for keeping the user rating.

BTW the poll is still open, so when 26 more users vote in favor of rating I guess we'll get it back...

This is not the meaning of a rating.

You are a moderator. If somebody breaks the rules then you can tell him clear and polite. You can even ban the user.
No need for dubious ratings.

Lol, looks like Frank is afraid of getting his single star back... Why do you care so much about this anyways?
