For a Post
Was this Topic Helpful? yes / no would go towards the overall ranking of the topic.
Helpful member yes / no for personal rankings.
The Problem with Thanking / rating members its largely based
on your mood at the time, so for this reason i would allow
members to re-vote every month or so.
This way they can at least make amends.
I would also reccomend that the default be 100%
and members would vote down a person than build them up
from being a new memeber, so if i registered i would get
5 stars then you could rate me.
positioning?
Unfortunatly on my forum i seem to be the only one that can
be bothered to use the "Rate this Topic", so with that in mind
and some kind of "Was this helpful" next to quick reply,
IMO help get topics rated more often.
The human race is so lazy with the mouse wheel.
I like Gizmo's idea of tracking "who" say how many thumbs ups and
how many thumbs down with topics.
But i do think that it should remain private when it comes
to thanking members.
Would be great to see the overhaul of the rating system
