I need a possibility to switch the user rating completely off.
I see good reasons to accept thread ratings, but user ratings can mean nothing but trouble to an online community like ours. The "value" of a person or it's postings should not be judged by the blind masses. I fear to stop critical voices that are the needed salt in discussions here..
And also many people would take ratings to serious, especial the young ones. Ratings would be like school and the board should be fun.
Of course I can (and will!!!!) hack the rating info out for our board, but I feel that this is such an important question, whether to allow ratings or not, that this should be selectable by the admin configs.
Greetings
