If you mean like a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ type rating, then I only have one question..

Why would you want to read endless ‘vanities’ about who got too many ‘thumbs down’ or ‘no’ votes on their posts?

I’m already dealing with that on another forum.

Don’t need it here.

Besides, if it’s really that bad, the ‘mods’ will take care of it..

Sounds like a quick route to groupthink.

Actually.

Don’t jack with FR.

There was a terrible attempt to cobble in social media as well a while back. But the site coders unwittingly inserted ridiculous code hooks into the pages served here...no fault, they just didn’t understand what they were opening us all up to.

So no. Leave the code alone.

I normally am all about the latest and greatest, but it’s kind of nice the commenting system hasn’t changed since I joined FR in 2000....wow....been here for over 11 years now.

It’s a simple, effective system.

I’m obviously not real concerned about whether people like what I have to say or not.

If they don’t like it they can bite me.

Not sure this is a great idea.

Now the ability to edit posts, if even for 10 minutes, would be fantastic :-)

I’m not particularly in favor of a rating system for replies.

However, I would like the ability to edit/delete my own replies.

You could call the new editing feature: “Easy-Troll.”

We already have one. If your post isn’t liked you are called every name in the book and some names that haven’t appeared in any book yet.

I understand DUmmieground now has a Peoples Court to pass disapproval on posts that trusted posters indicate they dislike.

Our ratings are in the form of replies, criticism, and those lovely ionizing ZOTS. We don’t need “click here you lazy bastard” to develop a thread. If you can’t afford to join in the conversation, just head back to Facebook groups. (Not meant as a personal attack nor anything against FB. I spend lots of time there too.)

No. Read yourself: “I often find myself scanning comments in an effort to gauge the overall sentiment of the freerepublic users on a particular story”. Are you proposing to change actually reading a thread with parsing an abstract number? Bad idea, in my opinion.

Yeah, the “drunken post” mulligan button would be something I could use too. Seriously.
