I didn't expect positive feedback back about the posts and ratings.
But glad you left the door open and not closed it
Member Ratings
IMO the rating should always be current, about the person this month or so. After a think about it allowing a member rating to be valid for 30 days. This will get members thinking that what they rate has a value of 30 days, provoking a need to think about that rating.
So let's say ratings are removed after 30 Days, eventually an inactive users ratings would chip away to no current ratings within 30 days. This is where I think a Default rating for an unrated or un weighted member should be at least 3 Stars.
The quickest member to hit 1 star is admin. . . Members hate the decisions we have to make. I love to see positive people rewarded with the right ratings to reflect it.
Member Ratings do carry the weight to win and loose members. Its horrible if someone rates you 1 out of spite. Its a powerful tool, it has to be right.
Personally I would scrap the ratings to a simple likes. Not showing dislikes, but only positive likes. You like some one or you don't. Again with the 30 day trimming / pruning.
You could create +likes?? Alongside likes.
If you reach a target likes in 30 days. You qualify and gain a +like that can not be taken away. I'm so against promoting negatively within a forum.
Just bouncing ideas, and getting carried away.
Food for thought.
