Either way works, I suppose. I have gotten a few comments with the blue/gray box, and even though it's not worth any points it's still nice to know people appreciate your posts. I don't think you should not rate people just because you don't have any points to give. You're almost to 50 anyway though, so you'll have points soon.

I'm with Firefoot. I personally would rather read what the person had to say about my post then quickly check & see how many points I got because of it. If I were you, I'd go with rating over PMs, rating is much quicker & more to the point.

True, but then, I'd rather receive a negative PM than a negatice rating

I'm not gonna get two squares that way

The Only Real Estel · 08-17-2004, 07:51 PM

Ah, but the key is-would you have deserved the negative rating?

The Perky Ent · 08-17-2004, 08:01 PM

But, if you say rating is better than Pming, I'd rather receive a pm for a small negative comment, than a rating. No matter how minor the problem is, it can take away a lot of points!

That's why I've only given out one negative rating so far.

A post has to be really bad for me to want to lower someone's rating. (I.E. off topic, offensive, and inarticulate all in one). Though I have not computed how many points I actually have to give or take away.

Indeed, those who have the power should wield it carefully.
