    It is a ‘match by match’ league. All you do is predict a score and scorers. As you would have predicted the team losing virtually every week, then you would have done relatively well.;)

    Decided against it ... for the time being anyway

    Simon did a trial and it broke the forum due to the custom coding used on here

    The cost to get it working makes it a no go right now

    That's a shame, the ratings were an excellent addition to Claret and Banter.

    Hated the ratings so delighted they’re not coming here, regularly killed debate and we’re so often just childish crap that led to too many arguments as a result. The debate on here is a million times better, the like system is perfect and to disagree you have to explain why, promotes conversation. It’s nice to see a good well run board with a settled design anyway, C&B often tried too hard to mix it up unnecessarily.

    I'd say 'tolerated' rather than 'hated,' but otherwise agree with this. Most of the C&B ratings were rather like the Earth -- mostly harmless -- but a few were abused; the 'like' system here works well, so no need for more.

    If we have a like though, why not an agree and disagree. Our maybe the thanks one?

    Certain ratings had a positive impact and stopped the C&B forum becoming cluttered with very similar posts and constant quoting.

    Dislike buttons are the worst thing possible for debate, it leads to brigading in an attempt to drive people with different views to them away. if you dislike something someone says then you should have a reason and hence should be able to express why you dislike it. Doing so drives debate which is what any discussion forum is supposed to be about

    The post you quoted suggested a use for a "agree" and "disagree" button. Nowhere did it suggest adding a "dislike" button so I'm confused by your post.

    The difference between Dislike, Disagree, thumbs down etc is just semantics. They are all forms of putting someone's opinion down without having to form and express the reasoning for doing so.

    It's like with Reddit they will tell you the voting down option is NOT a dislike just a way of weeding out the low-quality contributions and promoting the high-quality ones but what almost all sub-reddits turn into are echo chambers as those with differing views get driven out but the voting down no matter how well written the post is. People are generally happy to debate points but getting downvoted when you have put time into a post by the faceless masses who cant be arsed to say why they don't agree makes people feel like they are bashing their head against a wall

    On the old site those that didn’t want to use the ratings didn’t have to use them. Don’t like your posts being disliked? Great, simply turn them off.

    It really was that easy.

    only issue was some people would turn ratings on, dislike people etc and then turn them back off

    We've done over 2 years without them and apart from this thread raising it head now and again the Mods have done a decent job, great to talk in our present situation.
