How do I rate a user?

[zephyrprime]

There's a user rating but how do we actually rate people?

you can't. the rating system was removed but now the ratings are showing up after the new changes. it was removed because some people were getting ratings of -700 or something like that.

Must've been a technical/performance issue. If that was back then, it should work now if they want to bring it back.

What's the deal with this? Some "popular" members have like hundreds of ratings, yet I've never even seen a way to even vote on a user.

What's the deal with this system? If it's not active take rating stats off the user profile.

Well for whoever was getting -700 rating, maybe we should consider the user.

The rating system was 1 to 10, but the issue was the page didn't check that the rating was actually between 1 and 10 when updating the database. So you could modify the get string and rate a user negative 10000 and the software didn't know the difference because it was just a number. Fusetalk apparently never thought that people would be smart enough to modify the get string; they must have forgot this is a tech forum Of course, the fact that fusetalk used a signed integer (supporting up to about 2 billion) for a field that would only hold values between 1 and 10 is a different story.

I wonder if it is fixed in this version. Someone should run a delete on the table and kill everything under 1 and over 10 and turn it back on.
