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!
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.

Of course, I don't think most people would a) have the absurd idea to even think about something like that

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.

Tech is not the place for what is happening in here.
Don't do this again.
