[QUOTE="Darraketh, post: 17020, member: 847"] 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 [b]not[/b] a rating but a simple statistic. It's just presenting the information, that is already shown, in [u]another[/u] 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 [u]not[/u] 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.:D [i]P.S. I love a good debate! Thanks[/i] [/QUOTE]
