i think this could be useful in helping sort out which threads are worthy of our time and which aren't. i went on a tagging spree to see what would happen, i thought it might help to find useful info later. two problems:
1) anyone else think its ridiculous that you can't change your rating as more replies are added to the thread? a thread can quickly degenerate into total crap.
2) perhaps only allow mods/admins to rate? or, don't allow ordinary users who start or post in the thread to rate? otherwise people are pushing their own threads up -useless
3) move the rating selection to near the submit reply button so its more obvious and more people use it..?
well, i don't know how easy it is to mod this code and you've probably already thought this through, but anyway. i think we should give this some thought, i'd like to have some sort of quality control on the forum and also why not let people know when their threads are worthless (in a nice, non offensive way), to discourage spamming.
the other way to go would be to do away with a 5-star rating system and have way for mods/admins to mark threads "interesting" or "not interesting". again, the point of this is i need to use the forum when doing work on pj stuff and there's too much crap (to me) to wade through.i end up looking at the same bad info again and again. any thoughts please? i'd like a filter on the forum "hide threads marked un-interesting ", show only interesting threads or similar. does this make sense?
