I was thinking,
and I was just wondering if perhaps altering the 'Dumb' rating to 'Dumb/Pointless', or maybe even a whole new rating called 'Pointless' would be a somewhat good idea ?
Over the years the facepunch rating system has been modified into, what should I say, friendlier manner. And maybe this could be a good way to make ratings even more descriptive and pleasant.
[I]Post your[/I] thoughts. Even if it's a simple yes/no.

I realize that this might lead to nowhere, but'ah. As mentioned I was wondering. :3
Everyone in fast threads should get then automatically rated pointless

True/false, yet it doesn't answer my question in any way.

Rated pointless
The dumb rating is used in the same manner, so why add another rating when we already have something for that meaning.
It's like adding a "gay" rating when we already have a perfectly good rainbow.

The rainbow was supposed to be for an optimistic post.
The only reason it's a gay rating is because the icon is a rainbow.

Exactly. The dumb rating already [b]means[/b] dumb/pointless in everyone's mind.

That's my point. The masses use things for other reasons they were originally intended and as long as everyone is on the same page it works perfectly.
I'm pretty sure everyone is on the same page in saying that the dumb rating is also used for pointless, because if you say something pointless, you're dumb.
They're almost synonyms. Like the OP and somebody with down's syndrome. Almost exactly the same, only somebody with down's syndrome can't help their issue.
I have seen the useful ratings when the post was about tools or the person was being a tool.
