Only Khaled and the moderators have access to a post's rating. I suggested on a previous post that Khaled/moderators use the rating level to dogear feature suggestion posts that seem reasonable and worth looking into... but I think the decision against this is to prevent ego trips on these forums.
- Raccoon "Khaled rated MY feature suggestion with 5 stars, yours only got 2! :P"
Well. At least I won lunch. Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
