gwd-scouter Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Question - what are the quality thumbs up or down used for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleInKY Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Readers can rank posts as good or not-so-good. You didn't have any votes, so I gave you a thumbs up for asking the question. Now you show 100% thumbs up. I don't think anyone pays much attention to them, framkly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavah Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I've been part of other forums where the quality flag is posted more prominently, and in such a way that you can use it to select what you want to read. In some cases, there are little "twinkies" that highlight a poster's name who has a history of high-quality postings. I confess I sort of like that kind of system. It helps separate wheat from chaff. It'd be nice to add here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briantshore Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I've voted for some responses, when I thought someone made a good point,or brought up a important issue. Till I read this, I never noticed the numbers. I guess my glasses are worse than I thought. I'll give you a thumbs op for a very good question> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudu Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I find it hard to believe that many people would give a "thumbs up" to a post with which they disagree, no mater how high its quality :-/ So what you have is an index of the popularity of a person's ideas, rather than the actual quality of his postings.
