Topic started on 16-5-2007 @ 10:35 PM by ragster


This is a basic visual overview for the New Post Rating System on ATS

ATS Rating System

ATS Post Rating Scale




- A fair contribution to the discussion.

- A reasonably interesting contribution that helps the discussion.

- A solid contribution that moves the discussion along nicely.

- A fantastic contribution that focuses discussion on the important issues.

- A superior contribution with perception-altering potential. The epitome of Denying Ignorance.




Some basic information

First you will see 5 stars lined up
as in figure 1. and 2. at the top left hand of the post.

The stars will either be empty
or full
or even with level 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 blue stars full (voted) already, having a full set of stars as 5 is the maximum vote a post can receive. The post picture below has 3 votes on that single post.

-You can only vote once per post, and by voting you choose a star empty or full
|
as you believe falls into level 1,2,3,4 or 5 according to the ATS Scale


About the Stars Themselves

-You have empty stars
as in figure 1. Which are click enabled to vote for the post and enable a star system for the member gold stars
as in figure 3.

-You have full blue stars
as in figure 2. to show the votes of the post itself and its voted "worth" to ATS on the ATS Rating Scale.

-You have gold stars
as in figure 3. that shows the votes of the member, as an average is compiled of all there posts votes.




Example: If you have only one vote of 5 stars
on just one post than you will have 5 gold stars
, as soon as you get a vote on a another post that is lower than 5 stars
, than your average of gold stars
will change, if you keep getting 5 star
posts, than your gold stars
will stay at 5.








peace
