Make no rating more obvious

Postby CafeT on Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:39 pm

Concise description:
  • make "no rating" on the ratings viewing pages visually distinct. maybe star outlines with white fillings (like when leaving ratings), strike through the stars, say "no rating," or make the cells blank.

Specifics/Details:
  • people keep asking me why I leave them bad ratings when I didn't rate them at all for fair play or attitude. "no rating" looks exactly like zero stars even though it isn't. the tooltip isn't enough.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • less time wasted telling people "0 stars means no rating" and less space wasted in my signature

If you don't see any stars, I didn't rate you for that category. It's not a bad rating, it's not a rating.
Try a turn notifier so you will know when you can move.

I would support this, but I think that the current rating system leaves a lot to be desired. If things are going to be edited with it, I'd encourage an overhaul.

what would you like to see done? not that i think this should wait (this is just a clarifying visual edit), but good to have your suggestions in this forum (if not already)

I don't have a good plan. Sorry for that. There is a thread about bringing back feedback. That was the system used before ratings. Some kind of hybrid would probably e the best.

The problem with the rating system is that almost everyone just gives 5s to everyone for eveything no matter what. It's just not really representative of reality.

indeed, and the ratings medal doesn't really help either because it only add incentive to leave a massive amount of ratings without really caring what rating you leave. And the tags are hardly used and even if they're used there's no telling if they are 'just'.

Now that the site is under new management, perhaps someone can just modify the ratings page so no rating doesn't show zero stars but instead a blank space, e.g.
