Re: [Mailman-Developers] [HyperKitty] Rating of posts
ok. I think we both are talking about the same thing. And, I totally agree with your point that there should also be a user level rating as well, but the question is how do we rate users,
one way is to calculate using number of upvotes and downvotes on his/her answers.
Any other suggestion?
I think ultimately HyperKitty should have both user level and email level rating but I think email level rating is more basic and I think it's better to implement it first.

I would also like to see a way for each user to be able to rate other *users*, not just their individual posts...
An example with this list: I would rate Mark Sapiro as '5' (or whatever was designated as 'highest value'), so whenever I sort answers to any particular questions, Marks answers should appear at the top of the results before anyone else's (even if someone else's post had a higher rating than Marks for a particular thread) - then would come the individual posts from other users (who I hadn't yet rated)...
Hope that made sense...
I don't completely agree with your point. Let's say Mark posts good
emails to the list then he will obviously get a higher rating by users.
My understanding was the initial plan was only to allow for rating individual *posts*, not the *posters* - so, in your example, Mark *himself* will not have a rating (unless you provided a way to basically summarize an average of all of the ratings of all of each users posts)...
What I was talking about, is a way for me to rate Mark for my own *personal* benefit...
The primary purpose of archiver is to serve people who are not
subscribed to the mailing list.
I disagree...
The primary purpose of the archiver is to archive the list messages. Some lists *and list archives) are public, some are not.
They don't even know who Mark is
They do if they are a member of the list for any amount of time.
and if they encounter a particular question lets say "How to setup
Mailman3 in virtualenv" then they would like to see the best answer and not the answer of person who generally posts good answer to the list.
Again, I think you misunderstood... and again - I was talking about a way for me to rate Mark, which would be stored as one of *my* preferences... so, only *I* would benefit from rating him highly - no one else would know that I had rated him highly.
Think of it as a way for me to filter answers to questions based on who *I* trust and am interested in hearing from.
I'd also like a way to rate users negatively, so I won't even see their posts... again, said ratings only having any meaning for me when I'm logged in.
Do you agree?
I don't think we are talking about the same thing, so until we both agree on what we are discussing, I don't think the question is relevant... ;)
