Maybe if it was possible to rate a message at the same time as you reply to
it, more people would take part in the ratings?

I think that's a great idea.... in the web interface, add the vote pulldown
menu to it, so you can vote with the same "POST" request...  for email
and NNTP (which currently can't vote, and can't even see the votes),
allow either a custom header (which isn't really usable to most people),
or putting something like '[-- vote: spotlight --]'  in the message, and
make sure that line is filtered out before the message actually gets posted.

isn't this doable?

(...) I've noticed that most messages get very few ratings. But I'm not sure that counting followups can replace ratings, because someone posting a response to a message doesn't indicate that they feel the message is important or newsworthy. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
