Thread Rating
How many votes have been cast for the thread rating, that we may see a set of stars appear near the title of the thread in the thread listings?

Must be a low number - I have seen stars with 3 ratings (when you pass mouse over showing the number and average).

And I was about to post the same thing, it's two votes. I added my rating to the thread though.

Is Thread Rating broken, or disabled? Why can I rate a thread, but not view what the rating of a thread is? Was it abused like user reputations?

thanks!

Yes thread rating was switched off fairly quickly due to abuse.

Some people making a big deal about "abuse", rather. In the end each person can only vote on a thread one time.

Unless one were good with computers and found a way to manipulate the system, or forge something. Of course, I don't think most people would a) have the absurd idea to even think about something like that; b) would make the effort to try that just to harass someone else or act on some petty old grudges. So, hopefully, a purely hypothetical question (in the future).

Yep, I got reminded of people who are good with computers when I saw the word "Technology" somewhere on the left side...

Oh, I see! Kind of like I got reminded of people who spend all day every day racking up thousands of posts by trolling and making thinly-veiled accusations about other FT members while never contributing anything to the actual subject of miles and points when I saw the word “attorney” somewhere on the left side…

As was posted above, there were some people that abused the thread rating system and it was pulled, much like the reputation fiasco earlier in the year.

I believe this was the situation that caused the thread ratings to be pulled.

Some people were running around FT giving negative ratings to threads of people they didn't like and ruined it for the rest of us.

Was that a personal attack? I thought you already had the tireflock board for that kind of stuff and would tone it down a little here .

No comment .

Tech is not the place for what is happening in here.

Don't do this again.
