It's all astounding...like, dislike, useful, funny... "fine" ratings, how do they work?

I saw ratings being touched upon, but don't think I found a complete explanation.

How do ratings work? Are they impacted by other users clicking like/dislike/agree/disagree/informative/funny/useful?

If so, what is the impact of each choice? And when does the user get alerted? Is it for all choices? And is it for each person who clicks?

Just curious :)
 
I think I get alerted whenever anyone likes a post. Not sure if the negative ones are sent as alerts. You can adjust your alert preferences by clicking on the very small link at the bottom of the "alert" drop down.

Update: It looks like that is only for "likes". I dug around and found that you can see ALL of the ratings you've given and received on your profile page. It's a little weird, but they're all there.
 
So is that rating "score" just N/X where N is likes and X is dislikes?

Are all likes and dislikes equal in weight?

Are any of the other votes factored in numerically?

Just trying to figure out how these new toys work :)

You click them. They put thingies on your profile. I think the right combination also reveals the launch codes for a Minute Man silo in ND. :D
 
Damn. All I got was a woman from Germany calling me Stephen Wright. :D
