Rating Members (10 is best / 1 is bad)

I have always wanted to know (as well as many other forum members) when you are going to rate a member is a 1 the best or is 10 the best. We all need to use the same system or the rating will be useless. Lets all agree on one. Please post how you rate people on a 1-10 scale is 1 or 10 the best???


I think that 10 is the best

  • I can't really think of anything that I would have less interest in than rating a fellow forum member, or being rated by one.

    How on earth could it ever be a credible reflection of anything? There are many people on this board that are controversial, but I feel add a tremendous amount to the give and take. You love them or hate them. What is a number between one and ten possibly going to tell you? They're mediocre?

    One of the most important lessons I have learned since coming to this board is this:

    Do not underestimate who is behind the handle. And do not be too quick to judge.

    Many of my original assumptions about board members when I came here were wrong. Flat out. It has been a pleasure to get to know various members better, and to have them emerge bit by bit as flesh and blood people, rather than 2-dimensional Icons.

    Anyone who wants to rate board members, that is fine with me. It falls under the old "to each their own." But, I don't wish to. I will keep my personal profile on. I will always be available for a PM... but I will not be rated. I can't see the value in it.

  • Hey... maybe I was wrong about this rating thing... yeah, I think I could actually get behind it. From this point forward everyone must be rated!
    Thanks, gsaguy for bringing me to the light. I give you a 20 also!

  • Hey cool. If we don't get rated, does that mean we get little sunglasses by our Nicknames? If I low rate you (which I assume is a 1) will you feel obligated to low rate me in return? Rats! We don't get to see who rated us. Hmmm, seems like a "five rat" (instead of 5-star) system for Troll Alerts would be better. image

    How come I can rate some people (airplanenut just got a 10, I don't know why, but he just got a 10), but I can't rate BEAR???
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • clw54clw54 Posts: 3,815 ✭✭✭
    I just gave everybody 10s where I could.
  • stmanstman Posts: 11,352 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Hi Bear, Now I'm sad. I've been around here since May and never one growl of approval from the big Bear. I guess I know how I rate.image

    I know you don't just give them out at random so I guess I'll have to try and be a nice guy one time and see where it gets me.

  • Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it.- Maimonides

    Popular opinion (ratings) cannot change the merits of an individual's contributions to the forum.

    I dislike numerical ratings as much as these instant "viewer polls" I see during the televised baseball playoffs.
    They demonstrate the opinion of an unknown sample of unknown people about something meaningless.

    In the spirit of the story, "I Love You the Purplest," it'd be more fun to use colors or something else.

    Okay bear, It's going to be tough but I'll give it a shot.image

    I think a few months ago I was kind to somebody but I can't remember who so I guess I really couldn't have been too kind.

    stman,

    It's possible that you are very kind but simply have a poor memory and therefore can't remember who you were kind to.image

  • robertprrobertpr Posts: 6,862 ✭✭✭
    There was another thread about this not too long ago, and the consensus is that 10 is the best.
  • clw54clw54 Posts: 3,815 ✭✭✭
    Some more 10s entered. Anybody I could rate I did.
  • BillJonesBillJones Posts: 33,964 ✭✭✭✭✭
    It would be interesting to know what the individual scores (but not who posted them) are that make up the averages. I know I got a whole bunch of 1s when I first joined this board because I spoke out against paying huge premiums for high grade modern coins. That stuck in some people's craws and they let know about it with words and low ratings.

    That's Ok. It comes with the territory, but it would be nice to know if I have been able to help a few beginners who are star struck with the getting to the top of the Registry to understand this wonderful hobby.

    I've never given out any low scores to anyone despite the fact that a couple of guys came be a real pain in the butt.

  • Last time I checked, I had been ranked two times for a total of 5.50

    I wonder is that was a 10 and a 1, or something in between?

    Ken

    Edited to add: Uh oh...I just checked and I have sunk to a new low, three rankings for a total of 4.00! image

    Edited again to add: Whew, I am back up to 4 rankings and a total of 5.50 image That must be a pair of 10's
    and a pair of 1's - maybe the 10's are for my icon, and the 1's are for when I posted my ugly mug in the
    "Post your face" thread awhile back...wait a minute, I never posted my face...I must just be one

    Edited for the last time to add: Well, that does it...someone just gave me another 1 image I guess I'll have to
    try harder around here...free coins anyone? image
  • cladkingcladking Posts: 28,646 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I used to pay attention to mine. The first 15 were all 1's and 10's. If everyone
    knew which was lowest they may have been all 1's though. I never rate anyone
    unless it would raise their rating.

    I know I started out in the 1-2 range and have only recently begun to climb...not sure what I may have done to get the early low scores since no one ever flamed me via thread or PM to the best of my knowledge.

    Thanks Much !!

    Ten withheld by request from Fairlaneman.
  • CalGoldCalGold Posts: 2,608 ✭✭
    Is there a way to change or cancel a vote? I think I accidently clicked the rate button on a member with the rate set at 1 which means it would look like a bad rating.

  • RussRuss Posts: 48,514 ✭✭✭
    Because I am deeply concerned about the self-esteem level of my fellow board members, I just rated everyone with the feature enabled a 10.

  • That's good, Russ. Now sort through their profiles and pick out a few to be executed. image

    I just broke my own rule and went and gave you a ten. You're up to 6.75 now. Cheer up.

  • UncleJoeUncleJoe Posts: 2,536 ✭✭✭
    Thank you all!!! I feel much better now.image

    Wait!!! I went from 6.75 to 6.11. If I've done my math correctly that means someone gave me a "1".image

    Oh well. back to looking at more coins.image
