      until there's a key, they're worthless. only a dozen people know what the colors mean. and if you don't know the secret color code, you can't tell what the rating is until you actually read the post - which defeats at least part of the point of having ratings (so that you can skip low rated messages) -c

            No, you misunderstand - they give me something to click on while i'm reading. How else am i supposed to suffer through these long, well-thought-out posts? I'd end up clicking on the ads or something! :omg:

                          Oh sorry, it seems I missunderstood the noise filter - I just assumed it didn't show messages below your noise threshold, but then of course we wouldn't see the grey coloured ones anyway then would we? :-O

                                  Almost never. I think I've only done it once or twice. I think it should be

                                  (1)Bad (2)Neutral (3)Good.

                                  Otherwise, it's just kind of useless to have a 1-5 scale.:|

                                    I'm pretty much the same way and will only rate when I feel extremely strong about something that was said. Otherwise, it seems pointless to give a 3 for an average comment.
