Hi arn, et al.

Does this site software allow other kinds of thread ratings other than "positive" and "negative"? I think that things like "informative", "funny", and others might be useful. (More like slashdot)

of interest to all

I figured such a thing would be of interest to others. Maybe I'm the only who thinks it would be a nice addition.

How about:
Informative
Funny
Pointless
Possible

I throw possible and pointless in since this is a rumors site and that way you could quickly gauge what other people think of the validity of an article.

How about:

Informative/Entertaining

Thought-provoking

Whistle-blowing

Bitch-fest

Flame-War

Apple-Bashing

Uninformed whiney crap, utterly pointless and We're all amazed it's gone on for more than 2 posts without being closed and the thread initiate slow-roasted over a fire kindled with their own system.

Funny, informative & pointless

I definitely would like to see "funny", "informative" and "pointless". There are some very funny things that cross through this site and it's nice to pick up a laugh from a thread that I might otherwise not read.

Pointless, well... There are a lot of threads like that.

Informative would be nice, too.
