Hi percy,
I agree with Chuck that there should only be a mark for good posts - particularly if you want to key it to post of the month selections (would you need more than 1?) If you are going to go +/-, then there should be some way to normalize the results for the numbers of people of the + and - persuasions. I would think that the default and average would be 5 and then skew the below 5 to go from 1 to 5 and the above 5 to go from 5 to 10. Someone with no cheers or jeers should be a 5. It would also be interesting to be able to click on a members rating and see a link to the most cheered and most jeered posts.

Hi herebedragons,
I have noticed that some people just go down the posts in a thread and, (or at least it appears) they cheer those posts they agree with and jeer those they disagree with regardless of quality of content. I see any way for a rating system to avoid being a popularity vote.
Perhaps a "like" button in addition ... It used to be like\dislike, and still ended up being a popularity vote.
I am sure that is not what you intend for the rating system. As I understand it, the rating system is an attempt to identify good quality posts for the Post of the Month thread. Initially (iirc) it was a numbered scale. This too became a popularity vote. Personally I think only "cheer" "like" or "+" should be allowed if the intent is to identify good posts. Perhaps it should be labeled "well written" ... Another kick that may be cool but difficult to implement would be a highlight and "like" the highlighted quote, then when the "well written" button is hovered it would either pop out the section or highlight it.
It ends up that creationists have a low score and evolutionists have a high score. Only because there are more evolutionists that use the rating system than creationists. I've been on other boards and the ratings and distribution of people were reversed.

Hi again herebedragons
I was just kinda thinking that it would be nice to look at a members rating and have an idea of whether it would be worthwhile to enter into a debate with them or not; rather than whether they are creationist or evolutionist. Yeah, that is kind of the crux of the matter, and it depends on how objective people are rather than on how subjective\emotional they are. I wonder if there would be some way to set it up with a grid
OR, with radio buttons I Agree with this position and rate this a goodbad argumentI Disagree with this position and rate this a goodbad argument (Default no rating) Enjoyby our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

Hi foreveryoung,
CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = H + HCO3 = 2H + CO3 Don't know how to type the ions in. You got the subscript down, and superscript is similar: H- = H-by our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = H- + HCO3+ = 2H- + CO3++ When carbon dioxide is dissolved in the ocean, does all of it immediately react with water to form carbonic acid or is there dissolved, unreacted carbon dioxide in the water too? All three can exist in the ocean, but more so at the surface. See Dr. Adequates article on

Canada has dual ring speedos. (only for special swimming events).
Of my two classic minis, the 1967 one built in england for export (to finland) has dual rings, while the 1970 one assembled in italy from kit has single ring km's. I not only use 100= 40 (50 = 30) but 80 = 50 (40 = 25) Enjoy Edited by RAZD, : yearsby our ability to understand RebelAmericanZenDeist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.
