Hey bobo! Request here~

I think you coded the original rating system here, didn't you? I found one on vb.org but yours was way better than that. Could you make it again please? I miss it a lot. ;____;

Seconded. I thought it was interesting to see the board's general perception of people I don't know before I read their post, rather than having to go by postcount right now. Which sucks. And is completely inaccurate.

SUP SEGA.YA.OI

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, except those who offer FTPs tended to get much higher votes than those who actually did something else for the community. Even most FTPs that were run by an ass were given 4 stars on a near consistent basis.
Plus there are those who rate lowly on everyone just to mess with the system...

Well, nothing is perfect.

But I'd like to have the rating system back as well. I'm "smug" like that.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Was this your experience...?

I was speaking idiomatically.

While I am sure I will score low this time around (since I am SO MEAN), I'd like to see the rating system come back too.

I wonder if its something Blah could do?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

No actually I got reasonably high ratings. I just think some people got a lower rating than they deserved (evilboris *ahem*).

One could say he actually did deserve that rating.

Mega bump!

bobo, we miss you. =(

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't get why anyone wants this. Does anyone really need ratings to tell them whether a member is good or not? Try going to the journals page and you'll find out pretty well who is liked and who isn't by whom. That's pretty much all it's used for, anyway. In that respect, I find the rating system to be redundant.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, bobo (or Miles, for that matter) could be spending time devoted to the rating system and use it for putting the member gallery back in.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I agree with Styphon and Minion. I mean, the rating system was interesting at first, but why do you people who have been here for like four years need it anymore? You already know who likes you, who doesn't, hell, you probably know exactly what rating you would have.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I would have a 4.385960483745834, most likely. Which is, of course, significantly better than a mere 4.38. Clearly marking me as superior to any such user.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, lets get rid of a neat system we've had on these forums since the beginning of time just because there's a small group of people that don't want it.

Seriously though. If I installed the rating hack on the VB website I bet you'll be missing bobo's version of the rating system right away. The poor postbit feels so incomplete without it. ;_;

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sage this.

"He argued against me and was right, 1."

"He's a dick but he runs an FTP, 5."

FELIPE NO

If we bring it back, can we change it so it's more meaningful and less ridiculous? We don't need ratings of 1-5. Anything besides 1, 3 and 5 is meaningless. We should just have "Good, Average and Sucks" or something. And nothing with 15 decimal places after it. Just base what they get on a histogram of votes, kinda like the way professors decide what grade you get in a class.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I tried installing it but decided it's a piece of crap compared to the version we had before. The one used on our older version of VB allowed us to check images all on one page to see if they were real images or images of sephiroth/cloud/mario/starfox/whatever. The newest update for VB3.5.0+ takes that area away for some odd reason. I guess it's because someone else ported it over and forgot the best part. So the member gallery is there now, it's just full of fake pictures. The only way to remove them is to do it all manually each time they pop up in there which might take a bit of time.

I prefer to wait for the better version, if it ever comes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

How can you be sure that Sephiroth, Cloud, Mario, or Starfox aren't regulars here at GFF? I don't feel it's fair that you discriminate against video game characters. They have every right to have their photos up as well as anyone else.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No they don't.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we have rules against video game characters posting their own pictures in the FAQ. If you can't find it in there, they must have been lost with the crash.

How ya doing, buddy?

I never read the FAQ. What kind of loser reads that shit, lol. I bet the staff members haven't really read it either.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I generally rate everyone a five anyway but sure I'd like to see this feature again. It would certainly make my sig more useful.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Acer, there are some people that rate people 1s just for putting a rate me in their signature. Rating whore! =O

Also, bump since bobo is online.

FELIPE NO

This is something I will be working on this weekend.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Awesome! I'd love to have the rating system back. It is interesting to know whether people like you or not, from the regulars to the new guys. However, I'd like to know what each person gave me. Tthere was no such option before the board crashed. Is it possible to implement something like that?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
