What are these different coloured banners across our pictures PL 18/19 entrant?

 

Yep agree with that. Not usually bad at predicting, but last season I found it impossible

 

Eh? Care to explain why people not voting in a yes or no poll automatically means they didn't want it?

There's some nonsense posted in this thread but I think you've just hit the front.

 

Ah yes that is the one

 

How come I don't have a rating?

Is it a midget thing?

 

I always seem to be on it.

Why always me!

 

Lol lol yeah I am.

 

I tell you we will get relegated every season. This season we did unfortunately!

 

Disagree

 

*Old* (hated that one)

 

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.

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.

 

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.

 

did years without a forum at all but surely you agree it is better with

 

Yes both C&B, BT and the old club forum have been very enjoyable most of the time, not sure rating are required, but each to their own.

 

Only you don’t. Not every comment I read on here is a valid justification- far from it. How many times do posters quote Fordy just to tell him he’s talking a load of shite for example. How many silly, sarcastic remarks do you see from posters who simply disagree with someone else’s opinion? Ironically, In these instances a rating would actually be far less confrontational than a back and forth between two posters where little of note is being discussed. The simple fact is if you don’t want to justify yourself with a considered well thought of response then you don’t have to- ratings or not.

 

They're not the same though are they? Not even close. It's easy to like the reasoning of a post and still disagree with it and similarly you can also dislike a post but agree with it.

 

I very much anyone 'needed' to use one, it was just easier than trying to discuss a point with some posters as they seem continually oblivious to conflicting views as if only their opinion matters to the extent that they genuinely struggle to understand why their point of view is being questioned.

It's also pretty much the reason why cougar got himself banned. If he'd have learnt to use the emojis correctly he might have had more self control.
