Is there any plans to bring about a ratings service where we can rate each other?
I've gotten so much help from this site it would be nice to be able to leave ratings or messages that are public so people can see whose giving sound advice...

If you use this site you quite quickly see who's who here and what people stand for. I'm not a supporter of a rating system like that. ––––––
DMTripper is a fictional character therefore everything he says here must be fiction.
I mean, who really believes there is such a place as Hyperspace!!

Absolutely against it. It creates false hirarchies and a culture of "lets try to behave how i think i should behave". If you want to thank someone, write him a private message. Im sure that would be sweet for him.

I am absolutely positively against a rating system. Hell No. I am a member and used to be a supporter of the shroomery.com. I still lurk there allot. I must say if there was one thing I dont like about the shroomery it is the rating system. Rating systems get abused, they promote clicks and ass licking and envy and BS. I just dont see a place for ratings here. Ice House is an alter ego. The threads, postings, replys, statements, stories, and private messages made by Ice House are 100% unadulterated Bull Shit. Every aspect of the Username Ice House is pure fiction. Any likeness to SWIM or any real person is purely coincidental. The creator of Ice House does not condone or participate in any illicit activity what so ever. The makebelieve character known as Ice House is owned and operated by SWIM and should not be used without SWIM's expressed written consent.

I can see what you guys are saying, perhaps not such a great idea.

No. I do not like it. Do not seek the truth, just drop your opinions.

Methinks the Nexus transcends all false boundaries imposed by geography,culture,race and creed and I like it this way.We do not need to impose any ego-massaging false constructs on a structure which is free-flowing and in keeping with the essence of the psychedelic state  I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

Maybe we could have a rating system for posts instead of users. This can make threads much easier to read, because you can see how useful a post has been to other people at a glance. For instance, someone could have wrote a very informative post, such as a tek for cleaning spice ect. People could then rate it out of 5. The ratings could be averaged and this would show how informative other people thought it was. Just an idea.  I am however NOT a fan of rating for profiles, but it is a nice idea. People spend their lives searching for perfect moments and fail to see, that there are many unappreciated perfect moments everyday that are overlooked.

zubidlo is not here on Nexus for long to have a valid right to comment on this proposition, but zubidlo honestly thinks that any form of rating system is not going to improve the posts in any way. zubidlo witnessed mainly negative aspects of such a approach from other network communities. It really feels like 'ego food' as experienced nexians mentioned. This is not 'Facefuck' is it?  Regards. 'Life is an illusion designed to keep your mind occupied while you are digested by God.'

Ratings are all just personal opinions, anyway--they don't necessarily have anything to do with whether or not something is factual. And the Nexus is extremely factual. So, yeah, I will also add that I do not like the idea of a rating system. I don't see what positive things it could foster, and I see a ton of negative outcomes.  Some things will come easy, some will be a test

The rating system would create the perception of gurus and leaders in the community. It would also be biased twoards those who have been here the longest. Some of the best people we have here are somewhat new in relation to others. However the idea of rating posts might not be a bad one as it would give us a tool to bury well for a lack of a better word poor posts and allow people to see the good hot topics that are of interest to the community.

I consider Nexus to be strong on extraction teks and stuff. But are those highlight topics for everyone? I don't know. I like Nexus as it is. Regards. 'Life is an illusion designed to keep your mind occupied while you are digested by God.'

This spam was paid for by the 'Vovin for overlord campaign'. You got my vote overlord. I fall for aggressive campaigns. And when you become the presidente only YOU get to decide which topic was worthy to read! 'Life is an illusion designed to keep your mind occupied while you are digested by God.'

This spam was paid for by the 'Vovin for overlord campaign'. How perfect for election week.... Everything mentioned herein has been deemed by our staff of expert psychiatrists to be the delusional rantings of a madman who has been treated with Thorazine who is hospitalized within the confines of our locked facility. This patient sometimes requires the application of 6 point leather restraints and electrodes at the temples to break his delusions. Therefore, take everything mentioned above with a grain of salt...

I retired from this dreadful scene after I was school president in grade 6.  Anyway, I'd just pull the "I'M FEMALE!" card and win by default, so I'll sit this one out and let everyone else play. Minxx, Manic Mistress of her own Magical Realm  Some things will come easy, some will be a test

Limit the ammount of private AND public funding to any nexiuns campaign. I would also like to see a two party system so interested parties should declare their allegences now so the two sides can start slinging mud right away! Ice House is an alter ego.

This spam was paid for by the 'Vovin for overlord campaign'. I can see the headlines now: "Vovin elected human ambassador to hyperspace" "Fractal Enchantment denies puppy kicking scandal" Oh great - the world has just been replaced by elf machinery.
