I haven't seen you involved in any tiff. You've simply been supplying data. Is this perhaps a case of the messenger being shot?







I have him as a positive in case I was part of your insinuation.

I wasn't aware I was making an "insinuation" at all. I was wondering about and commenting on the recent dive in forum ratings that theBDub has experienced.

Just food for thought, his arrow is grey, so this represents no movement recently? The way I understand it, the arrow will change to a light green if it has positive movement and light red if it has recent negative movement. I could be wrong though.

That's not quite how it works. The color bars represent all ratings from day one. The arrow itself represents recent ratings, including repeat ratings. (Repeat ratings don't move the bar.) I believe the arrow's color is dependent on how far into each zone it has traveled.

Like I said, I could be wrong and you may be correct. But the reason Randye has a bright green arrow is because he has recently gained a few positive ratings, the reason theBDub has a neutral or grey color is because he hasn't received any ratings to move his bar either direction. I have no idea how long the arrow stays colored before it returns to grey vrs returning to the center of the bar graph. Ratings threads never get good reviews. It would be a shame if this thread changed topics.

That is incorrect.

Yeah, I have thought about starting a consulting business with it. We are already at the point where the tools have surpassed the business use, it’s pretty cool, and honestly fun to tinker with.



Most big business is data driven. They collect data as part of a service then figure out ways of leveraging that data for a return. Why store it and not use it?
Its too easy to see the end result and ignore how you get there. If you get into that field don't fall into the wrong group.
Peoples lives are not worth a favorable report.

Good luck, I couldn't sit and look at data all day and think its fun. Well unless its Hooters data...

Yep. For whatever reason, I had BDub at neutral and gave him a positive rating earlier today. His arrow color did not change.

Anyone can do a 'nudge' at any time even if they had previously rated someone before and the little arrow will move whichever direction ya nudged it (even if it's in the same way you rated them previously). The arrow will move, but their ratings bar itself won't change color and neither will their total ratings change on a 'nudge'.
(you may have to refresh the pg to see the arrow has moved, but in the case of TheBDub, his arrow never changed color no matter which way I nudged it.)
