Plus, article scoring is not a popularity contest. It is intended to save time
for readers and also to help direct readers towards messages that have the best
content on the subject they wish to read about.
If you think you may be concerned about your article ratings, just be certain
that your posts are carefully worded, are on-topic, and have content that
people will want to read a long time from now.
Several types of posts are not really subject to article scoring--like auction
and buy-sell-trade posts, posts asking a question (the response posts with the
answer may be entitled to high scores, though), and posts that are akin to
saying ~ME TOO~
But, if you wish, you can always rate all of your own posts at 100% that would
give you a 75 rating unti someone else rates it differently.

| (...) Agreed! (...) I think questions should be voted - especially if the answer is wanted by a lot of people, but does that mean that the question post should be voted lower once it has been answered? From a "Show me all the best articles" (...) (25 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
