stars rating mandatory for posters replying to thread?

[trex]

stars ratings can be very informative. however, i find very few posters who reply to threads take the effort to give a rating. you could program it so that when members reply to a thread, a star rating must be selected, or else a reply cannot be made.

if a member makes more than one reply to a given thread, then only one rating need be entered.

I think star rating should be on how many post in that thread

i gave this thread 5 stars.

That would slow down replies overall and kinda make it annoying. If the person replying is actually thoughtful enough to rate, they will rate.

Ratings are indeed very informative... just look at the rating of this thread.

For what it's worth, most people probably only rate threads in extreme cases, when they feel strongly enough to actually exert the effort of rating a thread.

Would help but what one thinks as a "5 Star" can be someone else's 1 so ...

It helps, of course.

Sorry but this thread, like many others, gets no stars, no gold stickers, and no little happy faces.

I give ridiculous threads 1 star. *wink*
