I thought the rating system was supposed to be about the quality of the topic, not whether you agree with it or not...

Example Thread:

Should we make a move for a top 6 forward?

This might be a 5 start conversation/debate, but people who think "no, we have enough scoring" would rate it 1 star because they disagree.

Moreover, I really don't understand things like PGT's getting rated... like really, we are discussing a game, like we always do, and it gets two stars?? How? The topic is perfectly valid, in fact, it's the bread and butter of this forum. Is it because the Flames lost, so people think rating it two stars expresses their feelings about the game??

I don't know. I personally don't think it fosters constructive discussion, which I thought was the point in the first place. Sure, in some cases it creates accountability (in the case of Trade Dion, Iggy, etc threads) but most of the time IMO it is used incorrectly.
