Advicenators control.


Question Posted Wednesday February 14 2007, 4:44 am

Why do sometimes questions that say "I rate 5's" or "I rate high" make it through the advinetors security?
I would also like to tell people here that you should give a rating, since someone took the time to reply on your inquiries. I see many answers that remain unrated even though you can tell that the advicenator spent a lot of sweat on it.

We do occasionally miss one. When found it is deleted. Questions get sent to the site after so many hours if not approved, so if we are busy some get by. They do eventually get deleted though. Feel free to file an abuse report if you see one.

It would be nice if everyone rated the questions. Feedback is really the most important in my opinion.
Someday maybe we will perfect the ratings system. We may eventually make it so if ratings aren't left in
so many days a moderator will rate the the question.

Ratings abuse is really bad around here. Rating all 5's is an abuse too. When 20 people all give a person the same answer, example song title, and all get 5's...that's ridiculous. :)

From what I believe, there are many questions day and night that are asked on this one single site. And having to read through every one of them would be strenuous work for the moderators so it would make sense for them to miss a few here and there.

And yes I definately agree with the rating. Although this site is to help people and not to get the best rating and what not, it would be very appreciated for anyone who answers questions to be rated whether it's bad or good because it helps the answerers an idea of how they're helping and how they are not helping. And we're putting in a few minutes of our time to read and answer the questions for the curious yet when they don't rate, it's just saying that they don't appreciate our answers enough to take 5 secons to click a button..

A lot of those questions do get stopped and the questioner is asked to reword them, some just seem to get through though.
I agree about the rating, it can be annoying if you have spent ages giving an answer, the asker can't even be bothered to rate you for it.
Maybe DN can add something to his never ending list that will require a rating before leaving the answer received?
