Do you care about thread ratings?
 
Title says all

I don't really care if I get a poor thread rating because the people who rate it poorly are generally spiteful, angry people who have more problems than I do.

You?

Agreed, on the forums I used to frequent the majority of people who bothered to rate threads were normally just trying to boost their own ego by voting for their own threads. >_>

Thread ratings do carry a certain degree of truth to them.

I care...if a n00b rates their quality-lacking story thread a five, I'll post and then rate it a one to make it a three, something far more appropriate. Similarly, I throw fives on threads that need 'em when appropriate...

never
 
I never pay attention to thread ratings. I usually go in threads titled something of my interest-no matter how they're rated.

Vernikova December 18th, 2008 6:00 PM

Why should I care about thread ratings? I mean, I'm sure there are many people that don't rate threads so there is no reason to care.

Aurafire December 18th, 2008 6:22 PM

I don't pay much attention to them. Most of the time, the thread creator gives his/her own thread a five star rating just to get the thread more attention. Even then, they don't do much in the way of showing how good a thread is. But it's a nice feature to have I suppose.

Thread ratings are just useless pixels.

⋚Raika⋚ December 18th, 2008 6:50 PM

I don't even look at them lol. :D

Heartless33 December 18th, 2008 7:25 PM

They are pointless I mean no one pays attention to them anyway, they are just stars on the side of the thread not a big deal. (unless you get an award for the most popular thread then I would care)

Guillermo December 19th, 2008 12:00 AM

Not really. I don't care about thread ratings. Most people can't even be bothered to rate a thread when posting. I know I can't. D:

♣Gawain♣ December 19th, 2008 12:14 AM

Nope, the content of the thread is the main basis. Not the ratings.

BeachBoy December 19th, 2008 1:27 AM

If only there was more of a backbone to thread ratings. More people, requirements to be shown, etc. Unfortunately, not the case.

I don't really pay attention to them outside of the Battle Logs sub-forum.

Cherrim December 19th, 2008 4:38 AM

I never notice they're there at all. In all my time here I've probably rated a thread... two or three times?

The title itself is usually more telling of the quality of the thread than any rating.

Percy Thrillington December 19th, 2008 5:37 AM

I don't normally notice that the ratings exist. They're not important to me. If I find a thread not worth reading, I'll find it myself. I don't need people telling me what to read and what not to read.

Tater Tot December 19th, 2008 6:48 AM

Not at all. I barely even notice them. I used to have a habit of rating every one I passed by, however it took to much time out of my day. XD

Melody December 19th, 2008 8:02 AM

I don't care too much about thread ratings. Most of the time I don't eve bother rating threads, especially since it's easier to just give the thread creator rep for the thread than mark it as a poor thread. Besides. Thread ratings are easily rigged, you can vote on your own thread. (kinda pointless eh?)

Candy Christina December 19th, 2008 9:08 AM

Er...this might sound kind of stupid but I'm just now noticing that the thread ratings exist. xP So I guess that answers the question already. xD

Signomi December 19th, 2008 9:58 AM

...yeah. Like everyone else, I don't even pay attention to thread ratings at all.

Belinda December 19th, 2008 10:10 AM

Not really,I never usually pay attention to thread ratings much.

Angela December 19th, 2008 10:20 AM

No not really;), I don't know how to rate threads:D

Gerri Shin December 19th, 2008 10:33 AM

thread ratings? not really, I don't even see them used that much anymore. now the post count for the thread is more of what I look at to determine a popular thread.

Jorah December 19th, 2008 1:01 PM

I'm more likely to go into a thread if it has 1 star, you can guarantee there will be something hilarious in there (yes, I know this means poor). Other than that, no.

Eruption December 19th, 2008 1:13 PM

About 2 in every 100 threads actually has a rating here so I dont care.

Gummy December 19th, 2008 6:39 PM

It depends on the thread. If it's my fanfiction or roleplay thread, then it makes me feel a little bad because that's something I really took my time on. However, if it's some random thread in OVP then I couldn't care less.

Himawarii December 19th, 2008 7:03 PM

I usually don't even notice them,all I care about is my own opinion ;p
I don't post around the fanfic forum,so I can't really take the point of view of a writer,where I guess rating does matter a little more~
