There are a lot of discussions/debates in the forums. And in these debates, even if you have a well thought out view, people might just 1 ball you because it is different to their view. Then they post their view and someone 1 balls them. It's a never ending cycle.

i will add oeuftete that your post about your BBTool is tied for the best ranking of all time, with perfect score of 5 stars from 12 different people.

Altough, I'm happy to see that I am well placed, I don't think it's a good idea to show this standing. I'ts an appeal to one-balled those who are above and to ask friends to voluntarily 5-ball our own post. I post to help, not to be good in another standing.

And who the hell is this Mara ? :p


This. ^^
I try to be an active member of the community. Helping where I can. Asking questions I'm not sure of. But with this rating system that's in place, it's discouraging to me to even post on some topics. And not because I'm afraid the post is deserving of 1 ball, like oeuftete suggests, but quite the contrary. Because I don't feel it's deserving of 1 ball but I just know that for whatever reason someone will 1 ball me.
The idea of rating posts, in theory, is a good one. It allows you to know right away, at quick glance, who the reliable posters are. Unfortunately, in a wide open community such as this, where unqualified people are allowed to rate posts, the system is a failure of epic proportions. In its current state it really needs at the very least a modification and at most to be done away with.

Basically stay away from argueing, don't post into suggestion threads. These are the ways to limit your 1 balls. Posting in suggestion thread will get you atleast 1 or 2 constant forum readers who 1 ball you every 12h. Just learn to live with it, I do :D

I completely agree with this proposal.

When this system started I got one balled in the election quite often, and for what? Because they wanted the other? It seems you aren't allowed to give your opinion and that cannot be the purpose of this.

For those who don't want to see the post ratings, and who use Firefox, I just added hiding of the post rating system to my GreaseMonkey script. You can see more in Global at (145219.2).
