The intention with it is not really to affect your opinion. It's more a way of replacing the +1 posts that tends to litter our forums. When reading feedback from you guys it can sometimes be hard to determine the severity of issues etc. This is an experiment to see if this could be a helpful tool when prioritizing.
Some changes that are considered to the current system:
- Removal of "Disagree" option. It doesn't really add much. Just disagreeing without explaining how you disagree isn't very constructive in most cases
- Removal of the ratings from your profile. There seems to be an abused contest of sorts about gaining ratings where people use different kind of cheats to improve their score. Personally I only care for ratings on specific posts, not how many one user acquired in total. And since it's obviously being abused by some we'll most likely remove it.
