      Surely that's where the noise filter kicks in?

        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.

                                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

                                Chris, I have to tell you that I just went looking around your site again, and I found SAHotShot. Oh man! That program is awesome! Much better than WinKeys or any of the others that I've seen. :cool: Also, I'm going to recommend Snoop to my Dad. He's been looking for something that would let him do exactly what Snoop does. He'll be thrilled.
