I think it is important (or soon will be) to create a culture where
rating != status - that is, if you have a message that's been marked down.. you
don't feel rejected _at_all_. I feel kinda silly admitting this, but for the
purposes of the argument I have to say that when I saw one of my posts had been
put down to 43 (shock!), I did feel a little bit bad. Of course, a few seconds
later I felt better because it was the *first* negative score (the
interpretation I felt, as opposed to logical conclusion) that I'd seen :)
I hope Alan doesn't feel bad because the post I'm replying to has been rated
low - he just had the misfortune to ask a *good* question a minute too late!
That doesn't mean that those people who have marked it down should change their
votes - Alan's post was made redundant by the announcement, and so probably
deserves low-scoring.. but I'm not sure how we can minimize the emotional
feelings you get from getting a low-score, and maximise the logical (how
relevant, useful, etc) is the post.

| (...) Actually 32 seconds-but who cares? I hadn't seen Todd's post when I posted this. No, it doesn't make me feel bad having a 17 since it is unimportant after Todd's post. Alan (25 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| This is very true. For example... consider this article: (URL) I thinskinned, I'd think that someone was pretty amused by my being ripped on, they gave it a 90, (net 70) and gave my own a what, 60 (net 55)? probably at this point with just one (...)
