Thread Ratings

i honestly miss them, it was definitely cool to have dont know why everyone has to complain about everything
I liked it, but yea was a bit obselete after b-rating
bring them back, you ruined my main source of income 30 bytes for a 5 star rating..

I only needed a couple of those deals to be able to exchange those bytes into money for a pizza.

They don’t really add much value when users are getting rep/bytes to 5-star anyways
🚀 Signature space for sale! PM me if you’re interested.
They added a nice splash of color to the forum, outdated yes but I kind of appreciated them now that their gone :(.

Funny how that works.

Because people in general are fucking assholes who can't STFU most of the time. The world is full of whiners.
Of course, Those stars were awesome, One of my sales threads were one of the most rated Active marketplace sales thread on HF (Over 120 + votes I earned it through a long period of time ) ..

Anyways myself I never really bothered alot about Sales thread ratings .. 😎

Yeh Like everyone else I do miss them definitely it was a good run, it was so nice and cool .. 😊

However, this change will stop people exchanging and buying  5 stars with Popularity & bytes.. 😧

Bad for me I never did that! 😭
i`m glad they are gone, They NEVER reflected the truth of a market thread. It was just a war about morons and competition rating 1 star and buddies + customers rating 5 stars. My thread was made when you could rate anonymously so it had 3 stars while newer threads got 5 stars since you added notification of those who rate your thread. Seems only fair now.

Don't you know the rules? Only Adam can make userscripts to circumvent Omni's changes.

idk what you're talking about.
I wasn't aware of this rule but it's not like I was offering to do that anyways.
You misquoted me.

:)
You said it best in your own words, it looks boring and plain.  Hopefully a solution is found.
Yeah looks like it's missing something now but atleast you will sell more Tags now, since the threads would be way more noticeable with them now.

O.T I never cared about the thread stars tbh never bothered me nor i ever looked at them while buying something.

For marketplace threads, maybe a summary (numeric) of trades conducted from the thread and the amount of them finished w/o issue would be a good replacement?

So for now many of you have your wish and Thread Ratings are disabled.  IMHO the forums look a lot plainer now, almost boring.  Actually bothers me already how plain the pages are.  

Happy now?

I would agree the pages look boring, but I think the thread rating was a abused feature. So realistically it's a small thing to lose to gain that.

It's the same thing when people used custom written reps. You get a group of friends who just spam 1 ratings or whatever. A idea could be to let the contracted customers leave a thread rating?

I'm not here to complain, Not saying I didn't like the stars, Just looking at it from a positive point.
