Voting on lounge messages?
-
I'm fairly new here...and I've looked around for the answer, but I'm just wondering - what is the significance of voting on lounge messages? ???Rate this message: 1 2 3 4 5 (out of 5)??? <><><><><><><> There go my people. I must find out where they are going so I can lead them. - Alexander Ledru-Rollin

From the Forum FAQ # What is 'Noise level' and how does message voting work? Why are some messages red and some grey? Anyone can give a message you have posted a score of 1 to 5, 1 being poor, 5 being excellent. The Noise level drop-down allows you to specify the minimum score a message must have in order for it to appear normally on the boards. Voting is weighted based on membership level. A new (non-status or bronze member) has a voting weight of 1. Silver members have a weight of 2, gold a weight of 4 and platinum members have a weight of 8. Thus a vote of 4 and a vote of 5 will not necessarily result in a score of 4.5 for a message. If a message has been given a score that is below your noise threshold then it will appear dimmed out on the boards. A message must have at least 3 votes and be below your threshold to be grayed out. Messages that have been voted greater than 4.5 will be marked as red regardless of the the number of votes it has. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]
