Whatever you call it; I know now it is 'Not for me'. This is all fine, I am just here for honest feedback. I know everyone wants to hear sugar-coated feedback, but I would rather not be lied to if someone doesn't like my article or post. In summary, if you need something sugar-coated, go get yourself some Milk Duds. K Harvee I personally love the feature of ‘I love it’ or ‘I hate it’.

It's just so easy to give a really bad rating anonymously and it often gets abused. When I come across a blog post about a subject that doesn't interest me personally I don't vote on it. Just because it's not a subject I care for doesn't mean it's a bad entry and can't be of great value to others content wise, so I don't think I really have the right to vote on posts like that. Unfortunately not everyone thinks along the same lines and often the votes are random, out of spite, or just to try and push down other blog entries from the main page so people can get their own entries to the top. I think it's very hard to circumvent that while at the same time allowing people to keep their anonymity when voting though. what you could possibly do is give people the option of displaying their vote publicly along with their comment and put an additional rating system in place for the people who make use of it and give them a reliability meter so to speak. That way people can rate this person's credibility and feedback contributions. But of course that system would still be open to abuse because friends can still boost ratings. And to only allow admins to vote on the reliability meter would require way too much work and manpower. So yeah, it's a tough one. I read the same post and I agree.

Firefox 3.0 actually blocked one of the iFrames thanks to the new phishing protection. That was enough for me to rate the blog down.
