Our new websites features a simple rating system to identify popular community content. Our model is based on democratic editing, similar to sites like digg and others.

Ratings are basically given either as positive or negative. Each user can only rate an item once. Every piece of community content will begin to accumulate a score based on the combined ratings of everyone in our community. For each positive rating, the piece of content will get 1 point and for each negative rating, the piece of content will lose 1 point.

To rate an item simply use the rating section that appears in the top section of each piece of community content.

Assigning a rating to a piece of content*

To give a positive rating, click the up arrow (which will appear in orange). To give a negative rating, simply click the down arrow (as seen in the screenshot).

Cumulative totals for content will appear in the bottom section of each posting as points.
