Anybody Notice?

The ratings have disappeared.  I think that is a good thing.

If I recall correctly Sparky put it in because enough people asked for it, with a comment at the time that it was going to be susceptible to funny business.

In my humble opinion the only correct way to implement a rating system would be a "one head one vote" system, which would require Sparky's software to track a huge number of votes (if everyone voted on everyone else, it would be votes = members², or over 10 million votes).  It would be bug prone, consume Sparky's time, slow down the server, and require a huge amount of disk space.

Anything less ends up back to the "susceptible to funny business" problem.

So thank you Sparky for being responsive enough to put it in when asked, and thank you for taking it out.

Yea, I noticed. I was kinda getting attached to my -125 score.

  Unfortunately almost all of the places I have seen that used it was the same issue. It only lasted about a week on SSW.

Thanks,  I never looked at it unless someone brought it up.   Just like stunt,  I should get max points but the judges don't see it that way.

I hold the record at -375.
