I originally posted the following in Site Feedback. At PJ's suggestion I'm posting it here instead since Site Feedback is basically for technical feedback.
PJ is also interested in what you all think about the ratings option......
I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on "rating" a post. You might have noticed that few posts are rated. When they are, sometimes I wonder from what standpoint.
Here are my personal thoughts about it: When people post a question, opinion or just a comment, I think it's important to them or they wouldn't post it. If someone gives them 5 stars, they probably feel good. However if they get a one star rating, they might not feel so great. Some people are more sensitive than others about the kind of feedback they get.
I like the idea of rating photos in the critique section along with the critique, but not sure I like rating what people post, especially in Helpfiles or Viewfinder where sometimes people post more personal information.
I'm just curious how others view the rating option. Now I know I'll probably get a one star rating on this post!![]()
