Dear Greg

Do you think the Star Ratings System feature enabled on many of these user forums boards are a good thing or a bad thing

It only takes one Judge to stick a 3 or 4 Star Rating on another Member for that Member then to be stuck with it

In time a 2 or 3 Star Rated Member could come to feel Inferior to a 4 or 5 Star Rated Member and prehaps retire from the Community altogether

Have you past experience of the user Ratings system on these boards as IT`s a feature I`m thinking of disabling but not sure

What do you think...
Good or bad !!

Well, I have it disabled on this board Ace, so that's probably my clearest statement about it.

I don't suppose there's any harm in it, but it seems a little silly for folks to compete for "best poster" honors, whatever that might mean!

Love,
Greg

Greg

I`d agree with you that it probably does more harm than Good but I don`t think it makes any difference at the Moment
I suppose I`m going to have to mess about with that Hello Engines Website upload programme again

And would you mind adding YellowWindows to your linkspage
It would be Warmly Appreciated

I`m just sending off for Jobs

You know...
Jobs worth applying for !!

Hi Ace

It's nice to see you back in as your 'real' identity.

I like your website, BTW. But I think member-ratings are over-rated, and can easily cause misunderstandings and hurt feelings. At least on this board we can all be Stars

Love,
Terri

Well Terri

Thanks for the reminder
I think I`d forgotten what my real Identity was eventually
I seem to have stayed Yellow though
And Ace Just stuck like glue
