Dear Fluffy Bunnies, I've just now found out about User Ratings..... :confused:

Thanks to this
thread. So, there just a rating system? Is that it? Or is a game to see who can get the lowest / highest rating?

Yes Virginia, there is a ratings system. It was designed to be used in conjunction with FS/FT as a way to rate other traders.

I have a dream of a day where people will be judged not on their user ratings, but on the content of their posts.

I have a dream today.

Cheers!

Exactly. In theory, only the traders were supposed to turn it on(since it's optional, after all), but it's turned in to more of a general user rating system, which isn't helped by the fact that it's easily abused(ex: even if only the traders had it on, anyone could rate them, unlike say eBay which requires a transaction).
