Ratings are useless

Question

The ratings system for forum messages is useless. Members can vote as many times as the want, which means that one person make the votes very high. If we make a mistake, we cannot undo what we have done.

See Algorithms for a good example of the bad use of ratings.

Did you mean thumbs up/down? This feature is in process and next version we have different ideas for this. It's not really rating. It's more like you like the answer or not. Based on that we plan to filter top forum answers and have extra points and so on. Right now it's just there to look pretty. Once ready it will also fixed so one user can rate only one time. Sorry about that Sam!

Thank you Mahesh. Yes I was not sure what to call it. So did you look at that other thread? Are the comments from Chris acceptable? If not then is there a way to report problems? Oh now I see the Report a Spam button; I did not see it before. Can we use that also for bad language and bad attitude?

Thank you again for your feedback and valuable suggestion Sam. I have a TODO list where you can actually rate an article for language attitude code and others. This will help us to decide winners for long run when we plan to give away LARGER prizes including cash. Stay tuned :) Cheers!
