UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback in post polls, yes, but prefer ratings ......

Guess it really depends on the type of board you have as to which is better ratings or views. In a board that has the hacks, then I can see the value of ratings but other boards all ratings end up being are a waste of screen space.

I have been on several boards that use ratings -- in virtually all cases they are either ignored, people don't like them, they don't know how to use them or what purpose they serve. Ends up being an ego type of thing that does nothing but eventually offending people. So they end up being turned off or made to disappear from the screen.

Guess I could be getting on a whole different kind of board than all of you -- but on the boards that I frequent they are very much disliked.
