Thread rating disable

[Chaos Rappy]

Did it ever serve any purposes in the past? It seems like it's been a completely superfluous function on this site, making me question its original intent. :/

I did not even notice the rating system until now xD

I am asking moderators and administrators, not members.

Then PM them about it. This is a public forum, and if you ask a question, expect some kind of answer.

Meh, I don't ever see anyone really rate as a regular thing, so the whole stars thing seems worthless and easily abused anyway because just one person can vote. Why does one of my threads in FKL even have 5 stars?

I see that "based on 1 vote," so perhaps the thread creator voted on their own thread! (which is allowed).

You can only vote one time. It doesn't stop updating after the first vote. Like this thread has many votes and an overall rating combining those for an average.

If i were to take a hunch it probably was a default for vbullietin; some forums use those for whatever reason, but has no function here.

AFAICT it was just a feature forums added around the time this version was released, but either was phased out or people just stopped enabling it when installing their forums because nobody cared. Some forums use it, but it's not especially common anymore.

Makes me feel special regardless of the rating I get when someone does mess with it.

I doubt that you would be able to convence them to change the site alone... You would need to gain support from the members to have a sliver of a chance.
