i think rate agree here means "i see what you were going for here, and im diggin it"
[QUOTE=bopie;45995479]I don't think it needs to represent something that's 'really good', that's kinda lame, winner would suffice. It could act as a nod to our tight-knit-ness and inside love/respect/humor. Make it unique to this subforum, otherwise it's a waste of a custom rating.[/QUOTE] Eh i wouldn't say it's lame at all if we had a rating that was praising a good image. It's not like we need any extra rating really so i guess it ultimately doesn't matter what it conveys. Although regarding the tight-knitness, if the rating is relating more to an 'in-joke' then wont newer members who join not really understand or feel left out?
I haven't had a good shot in so damn long, and I just can't find anything remotely worth photographing. I'm drowning here

It works pretty well for them. I think it would add a subtle charm and whimsical character to this subforum, and it wouldn't be that hard for non-regulars to figure out what it means through context. I just think a third praise-related rating is a bit redundant and this is an opportunity to have a new way to express something that's unique to this section.

I like the ratings system for this subforum, good way to show appreciation without spamming up the thread with replies for every post I like.
uhoh I just tried to complete my activation at Cargo but when loging in for the first time everything broke or something, it's all empty and white my admin page...

[QUOTE=bopie;45995956]Happens to everyone fairly frequently, don't forget it's part of the process. Take a break, or shoot more relaxedly.[/QUOTE] I have been on a "break" for months. It has been so long, that I'm even questioning why I even bother carrying a camera sometimes. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing

[/QUOTE] I understand your point of view, and i agree! What would you suggest that the new rating conveys? What would 'cactus' imply to you?
If I clicked the cactus I'd do it because it shows "Roll_Program was here and stopped to appreciate your post".
[QUOTE=BlazeFresh;45998507]I understand your point of view, and i agree! What would you suggest that the new rating conveys? What would 'cactus' imply to you?[/QUOTE] Does this matter? Like the moustache in the gmf, it's open to interpretation.
[QUOTE=Pickwickian-;45998962]Does this matter? Like the moustache in the gmf, it's open to interpretation.[/QUOTE] I think it does matter somewhat. Whats the point of a rating with no meaning whatsoever? Like surely it's gonna have some vague meaning at least.
[QUOTE=BlazeFresh;45999087] Like surely it's gonna have some vague meaning at least.[/QUOTE] I don't doubt that. But I think that a more obscure, original rating which gains its meaning (meanings) organically would serve more purpose than just a standard definition defined from the start.
Sure, that makes sense to me. Makes it a little more fun too.
I'd like to imagine I would use it in a more meta 'that's-so-FPphoto' way. [quote]"I love this forum it's changed my life, you guys are the best!"

I think letting it take on a meaning of it's own will naturally make it special.

Totally dig that general meaning.
Where is my cactus garry
how do we make this happen
Ask Dai I guess.
Asked him and Ash, let's see what happens. I can't go another day without this
Are we good with the icon we have? It's the correct size, right? Speak now or forever hold your peace.
This is what it's all about
Icon now is golden

I'll see what I can do :)
[QUOTE=The Salmon;46000844]ed's voice flowing through my head[/QUOTE] I would have rated this cactus if I could. [editline]17th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=AshMan55;46002254]I'll see what I can do :)[/QUOTE] And this mate.
