Poll question: Views or Ratings (which should we keep IF

Edited on Fri Jul-18-03 04:35 PM by skip fox

we can only have one? That is, if one of these features have to go, which one
would you like to see continue?)

Myself, I found the Views more important and the Ratings less useful (and often
messed with by Freepers)

1. I'm dubious we get to choose.

As I understand it, the 'views' function was suspected of causing some of the problems DU is currently experiencing. If that's the case, then we don't really get to make the selection. It has to be whatever is causing the difficulty that is eliminated as an option.

So, under those circumstances, I don't see the point in your poll.

2. Right . . . It's a conditional. "IF" it comes down to a choice

of throwing one to the sharks, then . . .

Trying to let admin. know the will of DUers IF there is a choice to be made.

(I should have been more clear.)

4. Well, I rated this topic a 5

Course, nobody will see the rating until 3 people vote.

So come on, folks, vote up the rating! :-)

Of course, I vastly prefer the # of views over the rating...

5. Why did the # of views go away when it looked as if more complained

about the ratings feature?!

:kick: to ensure this doesn't drop off the map.

6. Read post # 1 above, and check the Admin & Bugs fora

The 'views' function was removed because it was felt that it was in part or in whole contributing to many of the problems DU'ers were experiencing in posting.
