So I said this in jest as a response to a Chris Chan post, but it got me thinking.

Now I know we got a lot of suggestions for ratings, and it would get out of hand very fast if every 'good' idea was incorporated into the rating system, but hear me out. The idea of the rating system is for users to express their reactions to a comment or post in a simple and fast way. The multiple ratings we have cover a lot of ground for the most common reactions, and more complicated reactions and thoughts end up being comments. However, I feel that cringing at somebody's embarrassing behavior is something that is all to common on this forum, and we could definitely use a rating to embody it. The basic ratings we currently have are as follows:


:like:: The most basic rating, showing that you like somebody's statement
:dislike::Shows distaste in the wording or reasoning behind a post
:agree::Shows agreement with one's statement
:disagree::Shows disagreement with one's statement
:achievement::A nice little gem for admins to reward to exceptional posts
:winner::For when a post is particularly clever or funny
:informative::For when somebody feels that a post did a good job at informing it's audience
:feels::Shows emotion for the poster, typically pity
:islamic::Alloha Ackbar
:autism::Self explanatory
:optimistic::For when a post or comment might air a bit on the side of idealistic
:powerlevel::Informing the user that they have posted personal info that does not add to discussion


These ratings are all great, but I truly feel that we could benefit from having a cringe rating. There are threads on the forum that talk about people who's lives are such a self unaware trainwreck (Like Sam Marshall) that the act of writing a comment to talk about how one would cringe would simply be redundant. What do you guys think?

I would honestly stop focusing too much on them. They're fun, but that's really all you should ever take them as. And I guess it's nice to get feedback on what you post by other members to see how you stack, but I don't take much merit in them. And that's probably the sanest answer.
