My user rating is quite elite.

However, now that I've posted here, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that someone will ruin my perfect rating. :)

edit: It took less than 2 minutes for someone to give me a user rating of 1. Oh well, I know I was asking for it.

Heh, only stick you nose into flame-war threads and your user rating falls like hell :) I used to do that sometimes, now don't bother much anymore. Not agreeing with general opinions isn't good for rating, too, as AndyHui suggested...

When I first joined AT I spent most of my time in General Hardware. I had a good user rating in the mid-7s with about 40 ratings. Then I migrated to OT and my user rating just started plummeting. The problem with user ratings - in ATOT, at least - is that few will give you a high rating but if you say something that injures somebody's ego, well, you get a 1. And then another, and another. My participation in the various religion/sexual orientation/politics threads drove my rating down because I had fairly polarized views...this just invites people to tarnish your rating.

My rating eventually dropped to 4.98 and that was the trigger for me to disable it. If I did not participate in OT, I probably would still have something at least over 6, but the OT peeps just drive down your rating....look at how many OT freaks have ratings of 2-3!

What's the big deal with ratings? In the this forum, it doesn't matter much, but if I list something in FS/T, I'd hate to have a crappy rating...people may think I'm a bad trader instead of just somebody who has a lot to say in OT.

Ooh ooh ooh, I want a 10 also! ;)

Actually, I don't care TOO much about the user rating, just as long as I'm getting rated. I guess it's the whole "any publicity is good publicity" mentality.

I dont think user rating really matters... For example if you post a troll thread then you are going to get either a lot of possitives or a lot of negitives depending on what you post. Since its all a matter of opinion, and your true rating is held with heatware, I see it as being sort of meaningless unless that was the only way to tell if you were a good trader. But just for everyone here i gave you all 10's :) Im happy i can help
