Dude. I can't imagine anyone would be so petty as to wrangle their buddies to report the same member. This looks like a good feature to me.

I agree. I think this can only be a positive thing. This way it can be used to gauge the general feeling towards members of VJ BY members of VJ.

Wait. Now the report tool is gone and has ben replaced with a "rate me" thing? I preferred the report tool. It creeps me out thinking that everyone can at any time rate the ambiguous "plus" or "minus."

I guess I don't get it, either. I know when to "report" someone--when they're being rude--but I don't know when to rate someone. If I don't like what they said? If they're generally rude? If I just don't like them?

I just noticed this plus and minus sign under the Profile ID

IS that something new or Just didn't noticed it before (Rate me + - )

Yeah, it was report member until recently. I preferred that.

Hmm. I was thinking this might give people the chance to give feedback on members for both good and bad behavior. Maybe I should rename it?

What if they were lurkers on the site for months before they registered? Impossible to tell. I screen by other things than member accounts to prevent abuse (confidential of course).

Like photographs and gifts to you?

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

How about now. Does this layout make sense? Does it make more sense to have both good and bad ratings (and not just bad). These are private and anonymous ratings (not publically viewable by anyone including the member themselves).

Oh yeah. You can can now praise or report a member once every two weeks. This time restriction should prevent abuse (there are other safeguards in place as well).

Is it better now? Did you prefer only reporting members or also the Praising members as well?

What should we praise them for? Behaving in the opposite manner of someone who deserves being reported?

PS I like this praise/report thing better.

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

I put it in the drop down under the members name. Is this a better place? Also if you can think of a word other than "praise" let me know!

[MichelleandCraig 1]

I think it's better in the drop down for what it's worth...someone will search it out if they really want to praise someone or are really irritated, but won't be as likely to just click the button as if it was right out there. I like it. M.
