 Forum Suggestion: Remove Ratings (Star Ratings) from Forum Threads
Hello,
I'd like to address an issue I've seen arise over the past month and this has actually been an issue for awhile since I consider it a form of "slander". I've noticed majority of auction threads on the auction forum getting 'down voted' or '1 star rated', then other forum goers usually 'vote up or 5 star rate' in order to keep the thread from looking like a 1 star thread. The ideal purpose of this feature on the forum is to show one's opinion on the quality of a thread's content, yet I don't see the point of down voting someone's advertisement if it's wrote in a formal matter, never the less, down voting all advertisements.
Either way the whole star rating system seems moot and doesn't serve a purpose for the community besides making forum goers feel as if their threads are being 'attacked' (not sure if that's the right word, but you get the point).
I suggest to remove the rating system, if there's an issue with a thread then you can obviously post your opinion or report it to kittycats, but besides that, having a full forum being 'down voted' for the sake of it seems excessive.
Since KittyCats likes to keep the community very civil and orderly, I think this is a good suggestion if this feature could be disabled.
