I keep accidentally giving bad thread ratings (I blame pentadactyl for this). There is no way to undo or edit the rating you give to a thread, so the only possibility for me to prevent the accidental ratings would be to prevent me to click them. I can do it the complicated way, with scripts in my browser that modify the DOM, or I can easily disable the entire system in the forum settings. Since I want to do it the easy way, I thought I'd ask you:
Do we need the five-star thread rating system? Is it useful at all?

No, 2!
I think it's not useful, you usually look at the topic name and judge if it's interesting for you or not. Also not everyone votes there so it's not a good indicator.
Idea: Since you can rate posts now you could show - visually - how many posts got rated in a topic, i.e. by an icon close to the topic name.
Like.. 20% of the posts got rated = Bronze Icon, 50% Silver Icon, 75% Gold
or something.. no idea.
I don't even know if it's possible.
That's a thing that I wondered about, how do you rate posts? Sorry for off topic question...
On topic again I also don't know what to use the star rating for, I think it's useless and I also have been giving ratings to threads that I didn't intend.

I want to change the star rating that I give to a thread. I usually give a 1 or 5 star rating, sometimes nil. But after a period of time I change my mind. Recently Mirkea started an awesome thread but I thought his/her timing was poor and gave the thread a single star, but now is the time for awesome threads and I want to change my vote.
A simple upboat or downboat would be better - look at reddit
PS can we have a delete button?
"Yes, disable the CURRENT rating system"

I clicked 1 (on purpose!) but it's still 2 in average. Aw.
Thread rating based on post rating would either never work for big threads or result in a huge reputationfest. I don't think I like this idea :X

Upvote/thumbs up/whatever would be nicer indeed. MyBB's default rating system won't let you change your rating, if that were possible I would have no problem with it at all...
No sane person likes/wants down votes (maybe our local gimp MikeeeeeeeUSA). A simple like/upvote/thumbs up button would be enough with a counter.
A table with thread_id, user_id. A simple query that counts the number of user_id's. Some Ajaxy script to update and cancel the users vote without reloading the page. This should be fairly easy for a Javascript / PHP coder.

Except that we didn't code this forum software.
We can turn off thread ratings, I personally simply don't care. But adding a new feature to it sounds stupid, as it'll be lost on the next update...
And the strange thing is: I got no such button. Really.

Huh. The admin CP tells me you're using the dark_xonotic_v1 something theme, which has this button. Can you try reloading without cache? (That's shift-f5 in firefox I think)
EDIT: Okay then, let's give this a try. The ratings are now gone!
EDIT: Hehe, side effect, the "share post" widgets are gone too. I don't like this stuff but I'll see if I can fix that.
EDIT: I brought it back then commented it out, the images are broken anyway...
EDIT: Feel free to have a look at the page source if you want to suggest a fix, it's on the left of the "new reply" post.
Personally I would prefer simply a like or dislike system... that's how this works ANYWAY, people who like threads vote 5 star, people who don't like them vote 1 star.

I completely shut down firefox already a couple of times, emptied the cache, fired up firefox on my Mac, on Arch Linux, Windows 7, and still I got the same result when logged in (when logged out, there's no rate button too, obviously).
THERE. IS. NO. FRIGGIN. RATE. POST. BUTTON. AAARGHGHG I WANNA RATE TOOO ALL TEH NEGATIVE RATINGS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO SO FAR ARGNGNGN

I seem to see the link "rate this user" in a post on WW, but not as a picture.
Well never mind, since multiple ratings are now anyway allowed, I'm fine. No need to invest time into this.
