elvis? I think all forums have a sort of ID card with your IP. It's just a part of forum life unfortunately, or fortunately in some cases.

Ok clever clogs, tell me my IP address.

Do you mean the data was made public too?

That's not good

No, the data wasnt public but even so, not nice to get a nasty "reputation" comment - especially when it doesnt tell you who it's from, I assume this system is the same (dont know as cant see how to give anyone reputation to try it.......)

It seems it's not open to board guides anyway, so seems a bit pointless if not everyone has the right to "vote"

No I agree bridiej, it's not nice.

on a seroius note tho, after the recent post in the arms about the site losing its heart, I think this may just add to its downfall, I think its something that really needs serious reconsideration before people turn away from the site, no one wants to be in a position where others have such easy access to a system where they can put ya down in a second

Since I made my post yesterday about the site possibly losing its heart...first of all we are told to be circumspect in our use of certain avatars, when seemingly there are alternative ways of dealing with the problem and now we are faced with this horrible rating system! Doesn't exactly help the situation I fear

You've got to congratulate the team for bringing everyone together with one voice.

Yep! Don't even need a poll on this one

The general consensus seems to be Dump it this feature.:(

Does anyone have any better suggestions for rating posts? Would it make any difference to anyone if their post or anothers post was rated? Wouldn't you still read it and form your own opinion anyway.

There was a post on another thread re Ebay neg feedback reprecussions. Following the OP complaint I read the Ebayer feedback. Although it had a high positive, the tone and wording of some of the positive and negative made me think otherwise. Others agreed but the OP obviously did not. This I feel highlights how differently we react to postings.:p

So is admin the only people who sees the information gathered by way of the little green box......if so, what's the point....personally I am disgusted with the idea.
