Could anyone please tell me what is the rating of a thread? How is it calculated?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It is like a movie rating, but only certain members (I think contributers and mentors/admin) can give a rating to a thread. For calculation it is just the average number of stars.

edit... Actually, it looks like contributors can't give ratings anymore :cry:

Ratings were disabled a bit ago, not very useful, wasn't used much. Suppose I should take the label off.

But it still pretends to "go"...
