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'-- fuzz2050, Sep 17 2006 you need to check your spelling in the idea name.-- po, Sep 17 2006 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-- wagster, Sep 17 2006 Well dang, Google said it was fine. (In fact, neither Google spellcheck nor the hyper dictionary recognize numbskull.)-- ldischler, Sep 17 2006 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.-- Texticle, Sep 17 2006 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'.-- Zus, Sep 18 2006 //I can see that one getting used - the 'large South American river' will no doubt soon start work on it. //
I think they already do this.-- webfishrune, Sep 19 2006 random, halfbakery
