My users like the ratings feature but want to also have negative ratings. Ie, you can currently rate someone or a topic from 1 to 5 stars. Why not be able to rate the same with -1 to -5 skulls to indicate a terrible message?

Anyone know of a hack to do this? I've not looked at the code yet to see how it could be implemented.

Thanks.

I've looked into this more and it is feasible.

The easiest way would be to have 10 choices, 1-5 skulls, 6-10 stars (rather than use negative -1 thru -5 numbers for skulls and positive 1 thru 5 numbers for stars).

Then add a couple of checks in the dorate scripts to determine how to display the rating, skulls or stars.

When I get some time I will see if I can make it work.
