5. What is the effect of a higher rating on a story? Is it just take more ser

iously.

[Straight Shooter]

6. It ends up on front page Yahoo news and more people see it. eom.

[thebigdonkey]

8. OK thanks i always wondered that

[JoMama49]

10. They set their priorities by how high the story ratings are...

I think they also look at how many hits each story gets. This one is down to 2.92 now with 99 hits - probably being freeped.

[DeepGreen]

[kimpossible]

15. Foiling Spies

> Do you think we have some spies that have voted 1 ??

That possibility is exactly why I put in the link directly into rating the story a '5', rather than linking to the story itself.

[pretzel4gore]

31. done....

if a thousand DUers voted the rating rise ...but yahoo is a bushloving pos

[McCamy Taylor]

32. Freepers arent too bright. most of what is posted here is above their

heads, so when they finds things they can do like spam email to TV stations about how shocked they are too see a woman's breasts or rate down an article on yahoo, they concentrate all their energy on it.

Meanwhile, people at DU have to spend their time on more intellectual pursuits like performing regression analysis to document election fraud and reading legal texts to consider their next court moves and coordinating media campaigns on limited budgets. And, of course, mocking the Freepers, which is so easy to do that it is almost unsporting, like shooting fish in a barrel, but oh so satisfying.


:P

[pretzel4gore]

34. yes...and we take it wherever we can...

in a battle of elemental forces, the rightwing seems to have an advantage being free of handicaps like logic, basic sympathy for those less fortunate and awareness of consequences....so let's shoot them fish until they're holy

[pbartch]

33. i gave it a 5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
