Questions About Member Rating

[Salvador]

I've noticed that when I go to check out member profiles that there is a rating you can give them from 1 - 10. Do these members know that you are rating them? Will they receive an email or message saying that so and so gave them a certain rating?

If you let others rate you in your settings, how long do you have to be a member before you receive any ratings? Do you get to see your own ratings?

Sorry for posting this, but I didn't find anything about it in the FAQ or in any searches.

TIA,

Sal

About the ratings, members do not know they are being rated, you can vote for another member one time only (if rating is enabled in his/her profile), no emails or messages will be sent.

If you have ratings enabled (which it appears you do) anyone can rate you right now or any time in the future so long as you keep it enabled. You can see your own rating by viewing your profile/clicking on the little sunglasses.

I see it now. It said member had not been rated prior to my checking it a little while ago. Looks like I finally got a rating. I didn't see the box with the 1-10 scale when I clicked on the glasses, so I didn't know that it was possible for me to be rated yet.

Let me ask you this. If I disable this feature in the future and I'm already rated, will my rating still appear even though I've disabled the rating feature? I see some users with pretty poor ratings and wonder why they would leave it up if they had a poor rating.

Thanks again,

Chris

Whoops! I'd better shut my mouth because my rating is slipping fast!

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to post this.

If you disable it in the future your rating will not appear. I really wouldnt worry about it though, many people just go around rating everyone a 1. It's seldom used for it's intended purprose.

 

[Salvador]

Yep.. You're right. Before I posted this thread 10 minutes ago I was unrated. Since then I have gotten 4 ratings and my user rating slipped from 10 to 5 in a real hurry. I suspect that it will keep falling and falling.. Oh well. If it's not used for its intended purposes..

Sal

I suspect that I'll be rated a 1 in no time.

Since my ratings are racking up big time now, why not just give me some more 10's.

 

[nirgis]

dont worry about it... rating is worthless, quality posts are everything

 

[Russ]

I gave you a 10 since you begged.

Thanks for the 10 Russ!

Come on guys. I need some more 10's here. My rating is starting to slip again.

Don't take it so seriously.

Ratings are a highly inaccurate representation of character. Just disable them if you don't want a low rating.

 

[Salvador]

Why do you guys hate me so much? My user rating is slipping even more. Please.. Please.. More 10's.

Oh ok.. Just give me a bunch of ones then. I don't care.

The ATOT unspoken rule of user ratings:

If you ask about user ratings....people suddenly show an interest in yours, and it usually drops

Now watch mine go down....should have kept out of this thread....

 

[Salvador]

I noticed that. I had a feeling that I made a mistake after I posted the original message. Now I'm trying to see if I can get a ton of votes and see if I can get the lowest rating possible.

Sal

 

[Salvador]

Come on.. I said lower. My user rating is going up.

Sal

 

[nirgis]

im not going to fall for your reverse psychology; im not going to rate you at all. anyways, you need to stop worrying about your rating in either direction

 

[Salvador]

Hey! What's up? Someone reset my user ratings? Howdya do dat?

Sal

 

[V]

I would disable them if I were you...

I dunno, but you know as much about user ratings as anyone else here, there's just no more to learn. TTFN

Well, either there has been an error of some sort, or the mods are having a little fun with you. :Q

I was going to help you get # of ratings back by providing you with a 1 but your ratings are turned off. speaking of ratings, i could use some 10's thanks

 

[Ran1]

Sal, i to asked for 10's in my ratings and it's going lower , gee thanks for the idea of asking for 10's Sal hehe lol

Yo.

 

[HawkeyeNJ]

LMAO @ Yo_Ma-Ma's last post !

 

[Salvador]

I can't believe my thread is at the top here. I thought it would be long gone by now.

I had figured out that asking about ratings would only get me poor ones after I made the mistake of my first post. I figured that I'd just have fun with it at that point.

I bet you'd really like for me to activate my user ratings again, wouldn't you..
