This idea has been thrown around a bit, but we decided to enable topic ratings for the Showcase Booth and the Debate forum. When you read a topic, you click on "Rating" (to left of the "Options" dropdown) and rate the topic.

Any suggestions or questions, post away!

when Exactly will this be in affect..?

It's already in effect. Just go to the Showcase Booth or Debate forums & you should see it.

Sweet! Awesome feature

Edit: And it doesn't show up for me in the Showcase booth. >.<

^ Hmm, it should be working now.

I've changed it so that people in the "Member" group can rate topics, too.

Cool. Interested in seeing how this goes. :)

Great it works :]

woot its up!

I like this a lot. It should be easier to sort through the bullshit in both forums to get to the quality threads.

Sweet feature! :)

oh i am gonna have too much fun with this. 2muchbullshit in both those subforums.

Cool, Thanks, Keep up the good work :]

I really like this idea great work guys

i like this :)
great new feature.

What if a plethora amount of people rank down the topic? Would it consider being closed..?

^ We're open to suggestions. That's something that was brought up, and it would fine to implement something like that, as long as people didn't give low ratings to topics based on who made the topic.

At first, I thought it was a topic rating feature for all forums. I thought to myself, "this is a disaster waiting to happen." But I think leaving it in debate and showcase booth forums are a good idea. Looking forward to seeing this in action.

Theoretically yes, assuming people don't up-vote bullshit en-masse.

i think so far, the ratings have been decently accurate.

Too bad people's views of what bullshit is and isn't vary and can easily be influenced by a noisy poster with strong, uncontested, opinions (right or wrong).
