| Informative |
|
This should be used to tell the poster (and the rest of the site) that you found something of value in a post. If you learned something new, or gained some clarity or additional information on something you already did know, use this. Using this properly will increase the usefulness of the message board, and allow users to search for threads and sort them according to most useful/informative. |
|
| Funny |
|
This is used to tell the poster that you think what they said was funny, humorous, and/or that it made you laugh. |
|
| Huh? |
|
This should be used when someone's point was not made because it was written in a confusing way. By marking a post with this, you are essentially asking the poster to try explaining their position again - this time more clearly. |
|
| Off topic |
|
This should only be used when posts have absolutely nothing at all to do with the stated subject matter or theme of the thread. Do not use this to disagree with the fact that the subject matter exists in the first place. |
|
| Inappropriate |
|
Should be used only when something truly offensive has been said. Something rude, racist, or blatantly disrespectful. This is NOT used to disagree with a person's opinion. To disagree with an opinion you would POST YOUR OPINION as a message. This rating should be hardly ever used, since we can count on one hand how many times in the past year that it could have been used. |
