Rate this member is about wanting to know if you can trust this person....
Has this person been helpful?
Why do i want to rate this member ?
So that bit is all about thank you and reward.
I think i'm onto something in my mind now. . . .
Ok follow me on this one....
Rate a member its a like or not, forget the 1-5 stars you want to thank them or not.
The member accumulates likes per month.
And the top figure sticks.
So at the end of the month, likes are reset, but they now have a Max likes in one month achievement.
If they want to beat that target they have to be nicer or more helpful.
Allowing for a bad month. It does not impact on your 10yrs of service.
So you could have thus.
Life time of likes. 1,500
Most Likes in a month. 63
This months likes. 22
So you you can then make your mind up if that user is likeable or trustworthy as you now have a history current, best and life.
From there you can pull Forum stats about who is the most liked.
Who is the most helpful this month.
We are all human, and if you end up with a fixed low rating (Current system) it disheartens you and you leave.
Giving yourself the ability to make amends and shine is a much better way to motivate members.
it just popped in my mind lol
