    Yes - you get good tips, and you get very, very bad tips that sneak through, gawd knows how...

    I suppose you are right. I guess you can argue that comparing bad, short Tips to great, long tips is equivalent to comparing bad Articles to fantastic Articles. Soren Madsen

      Those who vote 1 instead of 5 I can understand (:mad:) But those who vote 3 instead of 5[^]? :wtf:* * Perhaps they follow the idea that the best approach in life is the zen of steady hidebound - hence Avg(1,5) = 3 :confused:

        Pstt - couple of things. 1:- It's not his article, it's by walterhevedeich. 2:- It's not an article, it's a Tip - and they are shorter than articles.

            You are clearly an extremist. A 3 vote is a vote for mediocrity, and long may it continue!

              By voting 3 they can feel inclusive of the group, exercise their democratic right to vote and maintain the universal suffrage. However, on this occasion they may feel compelled to not affect the outcome. It is rather like a voter at an election choosing to deliberately spoil the ballot as a political act.

                NO! People who deliberately spoil their ballot papers know exactly what they are doing. People who vote Libel Demoncrats are brainless, dangerous, crypto-marxists who wish to destroy any hope this country has of being successful.

                            Hey Dave... Reread the forum rules. "4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk."

                              The full range of vote scores is available to express your opinion on the worth of a piece. A 3 means that the voter thought the tip was okay, not justifying a downvote, but not great either. I wish we had full voting back in the lounge, some posts are worthy of a 2 but not a 1 and definitely not a report-abuse.

                                I believe, the rating system is bit confusing. When you have range of 1 to 5, normally (at least to me) it feels more like a marking system where you are giving 5 marks out or 5 while rating 5. or giving 3 marks out of 5 when you are voting 3. It took considerable time for me to understand that 1 and 2 is actually negative rating, 3 is no rating actually and 4 and 5 is actually up-voting. I remember raising this as a bug /suggestion saying it should be more clear. But it didn't pass through. I am still of the opinion that the rating system is confusing and more clarity is required.

                                Thanks, Milind
