Larian Studios Forums General About this website Do you think user ratings are needed in this forum

man, it's weird that the buttons and quotes go in the language of the poster.

and YES, they are [color:"red"] USELESS [/color]

damm wright you are Viper!
it's like people would judge us in avance by putting a TAG on our name

So far everybody was helpful to a lost gamer like me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />, so why a rating??

Since it show number of posts I don't think so, oppps I accidently voted yes....errr nevermind I guess I'm for it now.

Hey no thuumb up/down icon for post <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I've voted for "no", because I think nobody is better or worse than the other. By the way: I don't care about them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i think it really isnt neccecearly, it just brings some sort of useless competition :S:S

Ratings are useless IMO and may hurt some feelings... I prefer the thought of teamwork than competition.

Since we can see the number of posts, ratings really wouldn't add that much unless we wanted to do something entertaning or silly with them.

Like rating yourself as five stars? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You can't rate yourself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That was one of the first things I thought when I saw the user ratings.

Can they be deactivated?
Can you see who rated you and how they rated you? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Seeing them? This would hurt more feelings, too - and maybe start a low rating war... curd remarks, snapping at each other... Ah, no, better not.

The stars should be the graphical representation of the amount of post by that user.

98 % against rating <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Don't you mean [color:"yellow"]89 %[/color] againts stars rating? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@Draghermosran

Do you mean something like in this forum (at the bottom), but without the number of posts?

Yes.
I was just going to say that too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Uhm, well, "hurt some feelings"? I mean, if that silly rating hurts someone, that person should relax and give a [nocando] about it. But I agree, rating is not needed and it is actually contra-productive. Unless you let only a few people rate the people... like me for example <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

you wish <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
