It may be nice to have an approval/disapproval rating system contained within each poster's individual reply, or attached to the member's profile so the reader could, if s/he chose, give the response or the poster a +1 or -1 rating. This could help the poster to be aware of whether or not their replies are considered helpful to the topic at hand, or it could be helpful for helping a member to be aware of how their responses are effecting/affecting other members. I've seen this on several other sites, sometimes they call it a "karma rating" which 'follows' the poster around, and other times it applies to specific responses only.

Just a thought...

I like that this site doesn't have popularity things like that.

I am VERY happy it does not, also.
I can imagine the lengths people might go to,
to sway those results.

I also would not like to see that happen.

The site isn't really taking suggestions right now due to other projects being worked on, but I have to agree with the other members.

IMO it would only encourage cliques/popularity contests more

This is just another example of the man trying to keep a brother down......

I do not need that kind of validation or any kind for that matter.

Thank you for your suggestion and the feedback, but Mingle isn't taking additional suggestions at this time
