how do the ratings work?
How do the ratings for each post work? Is there a way to rate a post? What do the numbers mean?
thanks

oh, sorry
do you know how it works Tuberski? Why would this be in the A/C forum exclusively?
Did I post in the wrong place?

vee,
Look down towards the bottom, there is a "Rate This Thread" selector up and to the left of the Quick Reply box.
I guess the posted ratings are an average of whoever rates.
I typically pay extra attention (or not) to 5s and 1s.

Because, it's not a game related issue, it's a website issue.
That being said, the rating is supposed to help you know how informative or interesting a thread is.
Most of the time they are set either really high by the thread starter, or really low by someone being a smarta$$.
Hope this helps.

I don't usually ever look at that, because usually it means the 1 person who voted hates the person or disagrees with what they're saying  (even if it's a very good argument).

Besides confirming that it should be in A/C forum, here's how it works.
If 5 or more people have ranked a threat, its average rating shows up. Easy as that.

I think it also works with one person rating already. There are lots of threads that have been ranked by one or two votes only. You can see that when you put your mouse pointer over the stars, it'll show you something like "2 votes - 5.00 average".
