Prestige FAQ

What is Prestige? Prestige is a function in which you can rate users on a level of 1 to 10 (1 being low quality, 10 being outstanding) about what you think of the quality of their posts and of their attitude on the board. Where is it located? To rate someone, you can either check in their profile or click "Prestige" under their avatar where the "Location" and "Number of Posts" fields are also situated. Will it mean anything? Prestige merely reflects what other users think about you. If you have a high prestige, then that means other users value your input and your reviews. Also, as more ratings are made, those with the highest prestige will recieve special recognition. Can I rate someone more than once? No. This means you will have to think carefully about your rating of another user since you can only rate them once. Thus, before you rate, you should already have a well-formed idea about the user.

I gave you a 9 carsandguitars. Also, from what I've noticed on other websites, a user rating of ~7 is slightly above average. Anyways, only five people have rated you thus far, so it can still be brought up pretty easily.

Too bad we can't see how many people have rated us... Not actually who, but how many...

Who would rate you low anyway?

Oh, you're angry! Click your pen.

ZZAP ->> I've taken a look at making it visible how many votes a user has, but it would require too much of a drastic change in the code since there's no hack already available for it. But I can tell you that 9 people have voted for you, which is the second most number of votes of any user in YWS. The user with the most number of votes is Firestarter with 10. I come in third place with eight votes. Aside from a couple, everyone else has only one or two votes.

Look at mine. It's 4.8. I have no idea why, but whatever. I guess my topic on coke v. pepsi really offended some people
