    Hello, as almost everyone who has a brain knows, forum members can view a list that shows all members who have rated a post. I think there Are some problems to this that should have been considered before it was added. I know that negative ratings cannot be given anymore, but there are other problems.
    For example, when negative ratings where removed, any negative rating that already existed on a post remained there. So Now you can view people who gave a negative rating to a post BEFORE negative ratings where removed. So its kind of still pretty bad.. And another problem, anyone who gave a positive rating to a thread thats negatively directed towards someone else, (Like a thread asking someone to be demoted for example) is almost just as bad as a negative rating.

    I'm not saying this feature should be removed, but these factors should be looked over. And I would like to here your opinions.

    I'm confused here. What is the point you're trying to get across? Remove the old ratings before the rating system changed?

    I didn't say that, but that would be good if it's possible. But if it is possible, I don't see why its already been done.

    And I'm trying to say that the ability to view members who have rated a post can be a problem.

    Those threads with negative ratings are old, and negative ratings don't add to a total anymore. Honestly, who's going to flame at someone for giving an old rating? There have been no problems so far with users giving ratings and having the public be able to view them. Why change anything when there's no major problems?

    I don't really get what you're trying to explain. I know where you're coming from but can you be a bit more clear?
    Thanks!

    Take a look at an old thread with negative ratings, when you view the list of people who rated it, you also see who gave it negative rating.

    The anonymous opinions have to go away.

    This, and as you stated in your thread, "everyone with a brain knows" that anyone will be able to see who gave the rating. So users will be more careful when rating posts because those ratings aren't anonymous anymore.

    We never had any problems with users being able to see who gave them a old negative rating.
