the way most rating systems work now only the positive ratings make any difference in your recomendations. Its all a simple 'you liked this, other people who liked this also liked that, so you might like that.' imagine if those negative ratings made a difference. 'If you hate this, you might like this instead' or "if you hate this, don't even bother with this'

Not a bad idea, but I'm voting against it for misspelling the title, which makes us all look like numskulls.
-- ldischler, Sep 17 2006


Sp: numbskulls

Well dang, Google said it was fine. (In fact, neither Google spellcheck nor the hyper dictionary recognize numbskull.)

admin: fixed title spelling.
-- jutta, Sep 17 2006


What was the mis-spelled title, out of interest?
-- Mr Phase, Sep 17 2006


I'm assuming that is was "Negative Ratting", which may suggest an entirely different idea. Something about pest control using electrodes.

sorry about that stupid typo, but when an idea hits you at 3 in the morning, and you post in before you forget it, well yeah, these spelling things happen. oops
-- fuzz2050, Sep 18 2006


It's probably 'negative ranting'.

I think they already do this.
