People fretting over ratings should chill a bit. If you're going to worry about one or two votes then honestly being on the internet may not be for you. There will always be people who disagree with you. Haven't we all learned that yet, especially in 2020?

The feature will point out particularly good or bad posts, and over time you will come to see it that way. Basically ignore ratings that are small because it's just noise at that point, not consensus. If you're obsessing over one or two votes on your post, you're over-thinking things.

As far as adding to the site i think my idea of having a forum showing what systems the members that post predictions use is a great idea! This might show some new ideas in addition to the systems that are already posted.

I agree with others that stars, arrows don't accomplish anyrhing. Ive seen extremely jealous people slam my threads with one stars but the systems still work. I think its good that the ids were posted so we could see the troublemakers. I've noticed the site has calmed down since certain members have left.

I think so too Raven...I already got a bad mark for two different post I posted to a new member to try to

show him how to get around on LP and how to include his message in another ones so they will know

who he meant the msg. for...why would someone think that is a bad thing for me to do to help a new

member...some will probably use it to try and run off some posters on here....just like some put bad

marks sometimes on the ratings for spite.

Why would you get a bad mark for trying to help a new member?

After looking back at my post just for curosity to see how many bad ones I got I did get some good ones

going upward so will have to think more about how this will work...just won't like it if others do it for

spite just because they don't like someone.

Hi vergie!

The internet may not be for some of us. Well, it's working as far as earning money, making sales, having an app that tells me what profits. This site has been interesting and ups and downs. the app I use tells me what profits and so far so good. We have had disagreement in the past, some things I really don't care about on this site, maybe it's just me and I am more computer literate than some people.

Since and before this pandemic, I have found ways to making money from the big e-commerce sites and as well showing people what they have to do even before the things going on.

blogs , reselling, and more.

Yes, I know, I have seen you self-promote your business countless times on the forums here. I'm glad your business is working out for you.

Well, the next time you get something shipped or anyone does, it might just as well be the shipping software my tech friend does. I actually just bought something from NY and the seller claims the pandemic and the President. I went back to her and said hey listen, I have shipped items out with no problem and I don't blame anything on politics.

You might want to rethink the google ads because those ads aren't that great.

A lot of people know my opinions about what is going on out there. If things were really worse, there would be nothing opened up.

Last time talking about your business on the forums. It is not lottery-related, and you continue mentioning it time and time again. Enough.

Sorry Todd but I do not participate in forums with a Reddit like rating system. It always leads to malice and negativity. Always. It's pointless and divisive and will engender bad feelings all around. I'm not about that so I will be leaving.

To be clear, I joined this forum because it seemed like a positive place to discuss a common interest, lottery games, and it appeared to be well run. Sure people have minor squabbles sometimes but the overall atmosphere seemed to be one of camaraderie and friendship. People were fun and friendly and always eager to engage in civil discourse.

The new rating system destroys that. It's already begun.

I do want to thank you for this site in general. I think the new rating system is a mistake but overall you have done a great job here and it was fun for me while it lasted. Kudos for that.

Best wishes,

Sara Ann

you made some good points I did not think about.

tell me its not true! sorry to see you go!

will miss you lots!

Wisconsin loves you!

There has been a Systems forum at Lottery Post for over 17 years. It is the place where people describe their systems that they use. There are 17 years worth of posts in there, so plenty to keep you busy!

Be sure to set the view to "All History" to browse through all 17 years of topics.

The system does not reveal how any member votes on a post. It is different than the stars, which I have come to regret that they reveal each person's rating.

Each member gets one vote per post.

The "stars rating" seems to be more like how much a thread is liked or disliked where your new post rating system is a simple anonymous like or dislike. My only suggestion is either making the thread star rating anonymous and/or the same "up or down" as the post rating.

Who cares what the stars say? What other people think of your post or my post is not our concern. You have no control over that. I could care less how someone reacts to something I post, here or anyone else. It's my opinion. like or dislike. I'm not going to get bent out of shape or run away from a forum like some people. Post what you need to and let the chips fall. Some will, some won't, who's next?

It's always possible that I'm wrong~

But that's never at the top of my list of possibilities.

I have been somewhat regretful about the star ratings not being anonymous because it has become less of a spontaneous true feeling about a topic and more about keeping everyone in line. Very few ratings are 2, 3, and 4 stars. If someone dislikes something it's normally a complete negative of 1 star. If they like something it's a complete positive of 5 stars. So my thinking with this latest feature is just keep it to like/dislike, completely anonymous, and a single like/dislike does not drastically tilt the scoring one way or the other like the rating stars can.
