Hey Coleridge or any other person that knows: How do you see what your CBS ranking is as compared to other posters. Is there any way? I know we have the top 1k and then top 100. How do you view those rankings or what exactly you are ranked?

Cole, thanks for that response - thorough as usual.

I said many times - the value ratings really don't add anything, just take a lot of resources from you guys and stir up controversy.  Most of us only notice that they aren't right.  As you can see from this thread, the value rating of most regulars - the ones that are usually regarded the highest in the community - tends to be low.  So what does that say?  It says that the value ratings are a waste of energy.

There is no way to get it right.  The most ratings received are on threads with special interest and/or chats (song game, prayers, bar and grill).  People on this board for instance rarely rate anything unless it is funny.  People simply don't rate based on content.  That works for product reviews, but not on a message board where you can talk about anything.  My sport related posts almost never receive a rating, for instance.

I do like to see the ratings on my posts, just to see what people think.  But maybe it should be left out of our overall rating.  It is a pretty meaningless number.

Trespac, when you say your reputation number - yours is 94 - it means that you are ranked as the top 94%.  Now, warnings affect that  as well, so you may be 99% but dropped 5 points due to a warning.

Most of us have a 99% rating, meaning we are in the top 1% of CBS posters.  The top 1K and top 100 just further refine that.  I am guessing we have more than a 100 thousand users for the top 1K to mean anything more than 99%.

when you say your reputation number

That was supposed to say "when you see your reputation number"

Damn lack of Edit button.  Cole, please, give us an Edit button.  That would help a lot more than fiddling with the ratings.

trespac, the 'top' ratings are based on overall reputation total.

Can I get the CBS logo by my name?  I've earned it with some of my ideas...

Please?
