Add "Rate Post" hack to this board?

**100%** · 02-06-2008, 06:14 PM

Thought it could be interesting to try on this board.

"This hack allows your users to rate the individual posts in the threads...
..a negative rating that is below a predefined threshold (defined by admin) will be collapsed with an expand link there to show the hidden posts."

sort of like vote up or down in digg etc.

i am referring to "posts" not entire "threads"

**SCR** · 02-06-2008, 06:26 PM

you mean every post in a thread ?

I like the idea but it's got no use on this forum...

I said no since the way it is now I can quickly glance over the spam posts and if everything that the majority of users feel don't deserve attention would be collapsed it would just add time to my forum reading due to having to click on it out of curiosity.

The reason it works on digg I think is because they are news stories and not a thread asking questions or of a member posting his opinion on something.

But what do I know that is just my viewpoint on it.

Exactly, that's what I meant by it not having any use here.
