Darren Kitchen Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 to be honest I've always subconciously given things slashdot raings in RL. I'll see a poster for some band at a local pub on my way to work and be like "Ooh, +5 interesting". Or I'll get my horoscope via SMS and be like "+4 insightful". Or I'll be in a board meeting and seriously have to bite my toungue to keep from blurting out "-5 Off Topic!" So yeah, not a big deal. I like the merger here on the forums. wish there was a plugin for phpBB. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I've seen a few that let you rate indivdual postings. Basic 5 star system, but nothing exactly along the lines of /. or digg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malak Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 the closest alot of forums get to is a karma system for individual users, but i havent seen anything to rank topics eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rFayjW98ciLoNQLDZmFRKD Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Forums are prety much self governing, if the group looses intrest in the thread, it just dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
