Can you draw a picture of what you want?
I edited the post to be a little clearer while you were responding, but if you still need a graphic for further clarification I can do that when I get home. Out with the family rn.

I like Himawari's idea. Quite often when scrolling through active threads, you're skimming through pages and pages of stuff and you miss certain informative posts. I think what Himawari was suggesting was a little "i" icon at the top of certain posts as a header. So you could see at a glance which posts in a thread are worth reading.

However I think I've thought of a better way maybe... it may just make threads look gaudy. Could we possibly highlight posts with 60%+ "Informative" rating? Have the entire post a slightly different grey to usual, or a light blue or something. Provided a kinda shitty MSpaint thing:

The difference in colour of the posts doesn't need to be a lot or anything, just a sliiight distinction. Maybe. I dunno it's not necessary but I'm just putting my two-cents in.
 
I'm mostly a lurker, so I don't post very often. Since the changes, I hadn't been able to rate anything since I have yet to make 20 posts, but today I noticed that I can (still no access to the "off-topic" section). I'm curious: is this an error, or has it been changed so that now every user has the ability to rate posts? (Apologies if this has already been addressed on another thread)

Nah I changed it back to allow everyone because I felt it unfairly punished lurkers.
 
Hi! I joined about a week ago, having lurked here for months. I have only seen the older system in use, and only posted under the new system.

I cannot say the option of multiple ranking is better (how would I know?), but I do like it -and yes, I have (sometimes) avoided making redundant comments just by giving "a nod" to one of the people who put it better than I could have.

Cool data.

I've given out 5% of all the A-Log ratings and 6% of all the Old ratings to date :oops:

Also 2% of the Winner ratings and 3% of the Agrees though.

Nice to see the negatives are close to the bottom.

You're like the Anti-Holdek
 
Can we get a barfing rating or an eye bleach rating or some other way to indicate that we've been on the receiving end of way too much information in the rating system?

I think the use case is too narrow. Autistic covers that pretty well though. I can't tell if "TMI" is a explicitly negative thing or not.
