Do you prefer to see a thread's rating before you give it a rec or un-rec? |
|
For example, suppose that you think a thread deserves a positive recommendation. Do you mind being the first person to give it a positive recommendation? Suppose you don't know whether or not it has received a positive recommendation, but you have never seen it in positive territory and you know that "<0" is its current rating. Do you mind giving it a positive recommendation?
What if threads had just two alternative indications of how they've been rated: "<5" or ">4"?
In that case, would it be more difficult for you to make a decision that it deserves a positive recommendation? For example, would you want to see whether it's rated "<0" or "0"? Would you wait for it to have a rating of at least "+2" before giving it a positive recommendation?

6. x2 ...I don't really understand the rec obsession, since I rarely even look at that number |

2. I never look at that when deciding what to read |
|
I start at the top and click on what interests me. The numbers are meaningless.

3. It's a religious decision, and that's a personal matter... |

5. Why do you consider it to be religious? |
