The Poll that I loaded onto the site last week has now run its course and the results show that:-

The overall number of registrants (new and old included), who voted was very low, and the final figures were all very close.

a) - Those in favour of a Posting Rating facility were - 29.55%

b) - Those in favour of NOT having a Posting Rating facility were - 31.82%

c) - Those who weren't bothered, one way or the other were - 38.64%


The outcome of the Poll therefore, taking into account the following:-

Those in favour of a Posting Rating facility were in the minority,

There is already a REPORT facility on the Forums for people to use if they find a posting to be unacceptable and/or non-relevant.

Registered members of the Forums already have the facility to make contact with myself to make their own anonymous comments regarding any posting that is made on the forums.

The site is monitored and administered more or less continuously with every posting being viewed and considered "fit for purpose" or otherwise.


I am not going to introduce a Posting Rating facility, as this in my opinion could only possibly lead to further issues of divergence and contradiction. ( I get enough of that already).
