NOWHERE in the very
LONG thread above mine is there any evidence that Randy disabled Thread Rating due to "abuse". In fact, this quote:

At the end of the day, I think I decided it wasn't worthy the goals of FT to try and satisfy the barrage of "you missed a thread markdown by XXXX" or the "I truly thought it was only a one star thread ..." I think you all get the picture. Who knows, we may see it's revival one day, though I'd feel comfortable it being something that the TalkBoard decides on.
Indicates that Thread Rating was turned off due to the whining and hurt e-feelings. Randy
STATED in the quote above and in a recent thread that he would like feedback from the TB on this issue. If he disabled the feature due to "abuse", why would he ever consider enabling it?
There was
NO abuse. Only whining.
