How does the thread rating work?

Gk1986 · November 5th, 2001, 02:23

How is it implimented? Can we search threads based on ratings? What is it used for exactly?

**Ryos** · November 5th, 2001, 03:25

From the board's faq:

How do I rate a thread?
You may find a small menu on thread pages which allows you to 'rate this thread' with a number between 1-5.

Casting a vote for threads you view is entirely optional, but if you think that the thread is superb, you might rate it as a 5-star thread, or if you think that it's unspeakably dismal, you might choose to rate the thread with a single star.

Once enough votes have been cast for the thread rating, you may see a set of stars appear with the title of the thread in the thread listings. These stars reflect the average vote cast, and can allow you to quickly see which threads are worth reading if you are on a very busy board with a lot of threads.

I don't think you can search for threads based on ratings, and I've yet to see a thread with enough votes to be rated.

So how many votes do we need?

It would appear five votes is the minimum needed to see the rating. Keiichi is referring to http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthre...&threadid=6945 and http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthre...&threadid=6613. Ah, I guess ratings have to be turned on before you can see ratings for a forum. That's probably why no one saw them before.

What? Only three stars for this thread?

**Shiori** · November 6th, 2001, 02:17

next time i'm gonna vote for each of my screenshots posts.

With an average of 7 posts i do per screenshot thread i make, a five-star rating wouldn't be that hard to get. :P
