"Take a break from the internet" Self-explanatory.
[QUOTE=Clunj;37729024]"Take a break from the internet" Self-explanatory.[/QUOTE] Dumb could be used for that somewhat.
[QUOTE=pebkac;37728786]Winner works just fine in that situation. Bad reading and bad spelling really need to come back though, they shouldn't have been removed in the first place.[/QUOTE] I think they were removed because Garry wanted to cut down on the number of negative ratings to encourage a less hostile environment. There's just never any positive feelings from a person receiving these ratings. The dumb rating gets to stay however, probably because in the absence of a universal rating for being an idiot people will just start using the other ratings as substitutes. Anyone else remember when the "useful" rating was used to label someone as a tool for example, hell the "optimistic" rating is still used to label someone or their opinion "gay". [editline]20th September 2012[/editline] I would rather see the re-introduction of the smartness system. However to avoid it being a elitist circlejerk... it should still be a points system and give you a temporary ban when you reach 0, but it should never be visible to other users.
But you're actually being kind of helpful with bad spelling and reading, and it's much less rude to just point out a mistake that someone has done instead of just rating them dumb. If someone posts a reply that shows they didn't read previous posts well enough, you can easily point out the problem by just giving that post a bad reading rating, there's no need for 3 people to reply with something like "that's not what OP said". The bad spelling rating isn't quite as helpful though and can be abused by nitpicky people finding simple typos in posts, but it would still be useful.
I could do without Bad Spelling (but it'd be nice to see it though), but Bad Reading is a must.

Irrelevant.
i would rather have the smilies back. why did they even go?
Zazz. Symbol would be Murderface. [editline]21st September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Raptors!;37726021]Remove ratings altogether. It will be quite painful for some time, but people will actually start joining the discussions to present their opinions, instead of just rating someone dumb and moving on.[/QUOTE]I rated dumb and moved on, now what were you saying? [editline]21st September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Cups;37755657]i would rather have the smilies back. why did they even go?[/QUOTE]Because smilies are crap. We cut back to the bare essentials. You only ever really need :suicide: anyway.

bad reading and SMILIES
I want bad reading and bad spelling back. So many posts that deserve them and all there is to give is boxes.
I don't care for the rating system much, it kinda encourages people not to put in the effort for a genuine reply. If I had to choose a new rating though I kinda liked the old "Good Idea" light bulb rating.

[QUOTE=Rastadogg5;37757278]It also saves us from having millions of posts posts saying "Yeah I agree".[/QUOTE] True, but then again I haven't been to many forums where people reply just to say that they agree, at least not without more depth as to why they do, or to add to it. Ratings are made to be fast convenient and impersonal, not a bad thing, but when something deserves a more in-depth response and all it gets is ratings rather than actual human responses with opinions its a tad irritating.
Something else: you should add a reason when you vote someone dumb or disagree. Then people would know what they did wrong.

A golden clock to represent old gold.
Racist rating The icon should be a picture of TH89
Good Question: like Good Idea, but for good questions
Op, you're a god for making this thread. Anyway, only new one I'd really want is "what the Christ"
If Garry were to say that he liked some of the ideas here, that'd be the best thing in a while.
