The foothold of acceptance now being gained by the button parade could open up an opportunity for more nuance and precision in rating other users. Here is the current ratings display and a potential change to show more detail about voter choices.

Ratings Received:
+130 / 48 / -16
Top Three Ratings:

rating_salute.gif
rating_thanks.png


Instead of the user ratings being a series of colour-coded number totals, which reduce the wide variety of buttons to simplistic and arbitrary "good" and "bad" groupings, lacking the same nuance and variety as the buttons themselves, it would be more in line with the new spirit of broadened choice to present the three particular buttons that are most chosen by voters for that user's posts.

This current implementation is a good start, since we can immediately ascertain that this particular poster (Tommy Wiseau ) is a shit poster with 168 butthurts, 143 retardos, 46 Hitlers and 336 turds. Consequently, we can infer that nothing he says will ever have merit, and he likely is a net drain on his society.

However, some of the most egregious shit-posters have cunningly hid their profile pages to escape quantification of their shittiness levels. These detailed ratings should still be abridged in the sidebar profile summary, so that we can see the top three to five ratings given. That profile can't be made private, and it would be very enlightening to know how shitty exactly RRRrrr and buzz truly are. They probably top even Tommy!

Instead you could start a thread and tabulate our top three ratings for us.

Anyone know of a browser add-on to hide an individual moderator's posts?

lawful +M because he is wearing a hat
neutral +M because he has no clear opinion
chaotic +M because he can't stop dancing
