Thread voting / ratings

[wonderbanana]

Seems a bit too easy to rate a thread without actually meaning too. Had people apologise to me for low rating my thread by accident. Does it actually do anything beyond the visual rating? Seen it on a few threads now. Not particularly bothered or anything- just raising awareness really 👍

I saw that, and tried to work out why a few threads were poorly rated. I could only conclude they were errors.

We're looking into improvements in this area. Mostly seems an issue for mobile.

Yep just accidentally (on mobile) gave a 1 rating to a sale thread (and about to apologise to the poster). It’s super easy to do this imho. A confirmation prompt would solve this too (or ability to edit after setting).

We are looking into it to see if it can be upgraded or improved.

Please bear with us 👍🎈👍

It’s also easy to change the rating isn’t it?
Edit: can’t seem to do it now, but I felt I had previously, must be mistaken

Accidently downvoted a thread too on mobile but cannot find any option to edit or remove it. It's not possible (yet) to do so?

Is there any update on this (having just screwed up a rating yesterday and I cannot see any way to edit it)?
We're going to have people hacked off with each other for rating their threads 1/5 when it's by accident.

I think there's two problems:
You just need to touch the medals to set a rating immediately - you're not redirected to a page to let you do it.
So if it's your fat finger on a phone and the medals are 1mm apart, its way too easy to do a random or incorrect rating.

The other problem is you can't edit them afterwards to right the wrong.

It should be removed.

I'm looking into it.

Will provide an update next week.
