Now that I've thought about this more I don't actually know anyone who has ever said to me "That person has a high post rating therefore their posts must be better quality than people with lower post ratings."


Also, I'm getting really tired of "post quality" conversations. Post quality is higher today than it probably ever has been because people are so terrified of "spamming". It's getting really old for me personally. Obviously there are certain threads where posting "farts" or "butts" would likely earn an a warning but there are other places where it is a perfectly acceptable thing to say and I ENCOURAGE people to have a bit more fun when they post.

I have a straight 250 post rating but my posts are generally terrible and spammy.
Yeah this system is flawed.

It feels weird hitting the like button on anyone's posts in this thread

Anyway, making this thread was a great idea because I've seen the system get out of hand before. Some users get dislikes on their posts just because the person giving the dislike doesn't agree with their post or simply dislikes it. The purpose of the dislike button was to make posts more noticeable that are spammy or breaking rules.

In my opinion the like button can be kind of like trust points. The more popular a user is the more likely they are to get plenty of likes on their posts and the same happens with trust points sometimes.

Eniitan :

I don't know whether to feel happy that you sort of kind of defended me or kind of insulted from your post. I appreciate the kind words you said, but the part about "He may had been perma banned and did very much wrong
things in the past and still do, but not as much. But as you can see he
is trying his hardest. Even though he can be trouble at times."

The last time I recall doing anything actually BAD, like you know, one of my mental breakdowns, was around 5 months ago. I haven't had mental breakdowns since then. I am improving. I wouldn't say our recent "confrontations" really mean that I still do bad things. I'm not going to go into detail as to why, though.

Anyway yeah, I appreciate the rest of your post about me but that one part made me feel...odd...?

geeogree :

I'm just going to say it here. As of this post, my post about "butts" has 5 likes and 1 dislike, from somebody who is averse to fun.

As of this moment, a post about butts is the 2nd highest rated post in this thread about how post ratings are being taken too seriously. The top post is eirinn's, but whatever.

I think there's hope for this place, we have to start by making people stop caring about post ratings. The fact a thread like this was made, proves people do.

Just a nitpick, but now that I think about it, a post "like" and a post "rating" are not really the same thing... I mean, there's a difference between rating a post on a scale of one to ten and saying you liked the post. I think crap posts are funny, but wouldn't rate them very high.
