We Want You

In my humble opinion, if you want more people to join your forum and stay here, abolishing the 'Member Rating' will prove beneficial.
Hi Europa. I heartily welcome you to EvC. I hope you continue to participate. We really need you to balance the membership ideologically.
I don't know how much we agree to, but you raise some good questions and points for the majority evolutionist constituence to debate on.
Here are some things to keep in mind relative to the ratings.
I was once for removing the system, but though I get mostly low ratings, I'm for keeping it. There are actually things like minded members can do to keep the system fair. There are times when if a creationist is obviously given an undeserved 1 rating I will make an effort to give it a 5er if I like the message. Conversely, if I feel a member is given an undeserved 5 I may lower that to 3 by a 1. The five and a 1 appears to balance out to about 3. I see others apparantly do some of that as well. This is not something that should be abused as well, however. Members should work to be fair and balanced.
Anyhow, Europa, do please stay. The ratings are not that important. What is important is that you keep on keeping on doing your best. I like mixing it up and debating people who, in my view, need my message. The more I debate them, the more I see them as sheeple, educated through the assembly line of elite secularistic academia which has programmed their minds all the way from pre-school to doctorate or what ever level of education they've achieved into evolutionism and the BB, denying the possibility of higher intelligence existing than what is on the human level.

Re: Refusing To Learn?
subbie writes:
The fact of the matter is that your posts in your Question on how Evolution Works thread demonstrate that your understanding of evolution is limited and you seem unwilling or unable to learn from those who know more about the subject than you do. While most here would not rate someone's posts low because of a lack of knowledge, they will if it's paired with an unwillingness to learn.
Bear in mind, nobody is rating you. They are rating the quality of your posts.
If my interpretation of what you have said in that thread is incorrect, please feel free to set me straight.
Subbie, this charge of unwillingness to learn seems to be your way of saying, unless you learn and accept the way I see things, you're ignorant and refuse to learn from me
I'm often admonished by some that I need to stop stubbornly refusing to learn, when in fact I am anxious to learn truth. Imo, they are the ones in the dark. So on go the debates.

Re: About the Upcoming System

The star would also be a link to that message. Someone who acquired a bunch of stars would be an amazing individual.
Amazing, perhaps, but nevertheless, assuredly an evolutionist, which is somewhat of the same ole. It would, however, thwart our resident Taz-manian Devil in his attempt to crash the system.

Clean Up Time
Taz writes:
There, I just gave every post in this thread a 1 except your OP. The point is no one cares about the rating. It's a popularity contest, and most of us should have gotten over it once we left high school.
LOL, Taz. I've designated self to go about doing community service with pooper scooper fives, cleaning up your messes the best I can, fiveasizing the ones into threesies. You end up with ones with me and the rest get threes or so.

And you just received a 1 for absolutely no reason.
Yesssssss!
Aka Taz (Tazmanian Devil) decided to onezy every message so I did the Christian thing and went though and fivezied all of Taz's onezies to clean up the mess he made here of the rating system. I onezied all of his to even out his onezies with mine. Therefore Taz and me end up with onezies and the rest end up with threezies or so.

And thus the meaninglessness of the member rating system is further illustrated. When a 1 line post by me can recieve the same rating as one of RAZD's great posts from the Dates and Dating topics and also match the rating of one of Buz's posts that are so full of stupidity that they threaten to cause mental retardation in the reader it is clear that the system is useless.
Jones, the system isn't meaningless. What is meaningless is when Taz gave everyone ones because Taz is Taz. Sometimes he's cute. Other times tazmanian devils need to be reigned in.
Twice I explained why I gave you and others a five-er; that it was to counter Taz's rampage antic.

Abusing The System
Dr Jones writes:
Sure it is, Taz arbitrarily gives out 1s and you arbitrarily counter those with 5's. His 1's aren't based on the content of the post and neither are your 5's.
Though I'm going on about the member rating system I do want to make it clear that I very much appreciate all the time and effort Percy puts into this place.
That's not happening in all threads. Taz hijacked the system here for whatever reason. The only reason I went through and raised his ones to threes is because he indiscriminately tagged ones, regardless of content. If he was trying to make a point, he was selfishly doing it at the expense of others, disregarding the welfare of other members who's ratings were affected adversly. Some do care about their ratings and think that the system would work if the members do not abuse it.
Percy's improving it along the way. Perhaps there will come a time when it will be fine tuned to work very efficiently and difficult to mess up.
