Re: Random site redesign thoughts (none / 0)

i wish the rec button was at the bottom of the diary, so i don't have to scroll up.

when i give a 4, my space bar doesn't work till i click low on the screen, highlight some text, then it will work again.

anyone else getting this?

the other wish would be that the rec could be coded so it rated all the comments in one click.

say you'd given 5 '4's, and wanted to recommend as well.

the rec button would take care of the ratings too!

i also wish people used 2's and 3's more, it would be more textured and less codependent, imo.

since we got them!

or toss 'em out and just have an option to rec the comment or not.

seems cleaner somehow.

the text highlight bug is v. annoying, the others are minor.

Well, REC is a vote to take an action (none / 1)

to put it in the recommended list.

Rating expresses an opinion.

While I often do both, frequently I only do one or the other.

I gave up 3s after I saw how they can function as damning with faint praise. And since they can also be given by accident, If I MEAN to damn with faint praise, better I should write a comment that DOES that.

And 2s mean something is wrong with the comment. But usually it is better I should say what, or just give a 1 and be done with it.

And of course 0s are for action, just like the RECOMMEND.

The point being most things I don't rate at all. Reading a blog is not like being a schoolteacher!

Re: Well, REC is a vote to take an action (none / 1)

i've decided that 3's are a good way to say i don't agree with you, but i think your point advances the discussion.

2 is a warning, just like it says...for when someone is getting too stroppy.

(short for 'obstreperous', i think!)

ratings are a good way to communicate when not feeling chatty, but if it worked as dkos does, it would be less hassle and i think more peeps would use them.
