One last comment/post on this subject then I'll put this baby to bed.
The suggestion is a way of using the space that is already there, the rating column, that is hardly used as it stands.
The ratio is not a rating but a simple statistic. It's just presenting the information, that is already shown, in another meaningful way.
It the ratio was presented I further suggest changing the column title from "Rating" to simply "Ratio" or something else more descriptive of its function.
Now as far as effecting the ratio as though it were a rating system the only thing you could do is post a reply. By viewing the thread and not replying the ratio decreases.
Either way it doesn't matter if the ratio is 1% or 100% it is just a statistic and not a rating. A rating requires a judgment call this would be an automatic function.
Just think of post counts. The count indicates a level of activity but in no way infers that what was posted was meaningful, useful or warranted.
The post count is a statistic not a rating.
The ration of replies to views is another statistic not a rating.
Stick a fork in me I'm done.
P.S. I love a good debate! Thanks
