Would it be against the forum rules.....

[JWC]

im not going to govern anything. im going to continue to have the exact same opinion i have always had on flippers, and that is that they suck and are on my ignore list

i think i may post my ignore list some day, its super long

Your opinion of the flippers is the exact opinion I have about them, but I don't have an ignore list. I check out everyone who has something I want to buy. You see, I believe that anyone who is selling something, is trying to make a profit on what they are selling. I don't know anyone who will willing sell something at a loss. I hate flippers, gougers, and craiglisters on this site. But there are times when I can't tell the good guys from the bad guys. Know what I mean?

I posted that I had been looking for 22 cent a round 22 ammo but was broke. I was being a smart *ss but thought I was not breaking any rules. I wound up with an infraction anyway. Oh well

I've never gotten infractions. The rules are clear. I don't post in their ads.

That last question was for chucklenut.

It would be great if there was an Amazon-like star rating system beside each listing so you could see whether a thread was positive or negative.

There is. 5 or more people have to rate it before it shows up.

Sometimes, I have to contain myself because I sure as hell want to comment,lol

What good does it do to rate a thread? As far as I know, there's no visual way to see whether a thread if rated positive or negative. I know I must be spending too much time on here because I get aggravated going into threads only to see ridiculous prices, and have no way of letting others know they shouldn't bother clicking on the posting. I've "bitten my tongue" a million times and resisted the urge to leave a negative comment on a posting since I know it would be against the rules. Maybe a simple thumbs up/thumbs down rating system that would display the # of votes each way on the "new posts" page would give us an upfront filter. If I'm just missing how rating a thread currently does anything, please let me know.

Top right corner. That is the whole point of THIS thread. To get people to use it!

I've typed more than one... and then deleted it myself.

I see, but that really doesn't serve a good purpose. In order to see the rating, I had to first vote, and then I get to see the 'current rating'. It also doesn't display automatically unless I click on the link. The 'current rating' should be displayed on the 'new posts' and 'today's posts' summary pages beside the thread title. You shouldn't have to click into a thread, click to vote, just to see how good or bad it is.

You don't have to vote to see the rating (I don't think) and I agree, the rating should show everywhere the thread title shows up, but it doesn't...
