Add a NUETRAL dislike rating...

[Croc]

I know how the administration team here dislikes the negative rating system, so they disabled it. However, on some posts and threads, a simple thumbs down/dislike rating would be very helpful! Of course, change it to uncounted/nuetral rather than negative (default). It could also be a disagree rating instead if "dislike" is too negative in nature.

You can't just arbitrarily destroy or remove a system that has been in place far longer than most of the members of staff have even been members on this website. Everyone here recognizes the ratings system and it is a part of the way the site is run. Is it not the best system for reputation? Yeah. Is it totally useless? No. Members like Doge with mountains of ratings would never scam somebody. The few cases of members with over 1000 ratings that have scammed are fringe cases.

People with high ratings worked hard to build those ratings and just taking that away from them for no reason at all - just because some retards aren't capable of looking through someone's post history - is totally nonsensical.

If you remove ratings or introduce something totally idiotic and unnecessarily abusable as negative ratings all it will do is piss more people off and lead more people to do exit scams and leave this site for sites that don't have staff that make completely random changes that nobody wants or asked for.

This thread was asking for a neutral dislike rating and somehow you guys have jumped that over to either removing ratings or introducing an abusable negative dislike rating? Why?

Just leave the system the way it is now. It is perfectly functional. I can say - personally - that removing the rating system will be a nail in the coffin for my usage of this site.

You've just demonstrated the problem with ratings. Members take them way too seriously. That was the point I was trying to make.

I'm not saying that ratings will be removed, but that's how I feel when any suggestions asking for new ratings comes up.
