Just had a quick idea, following on from the 'Get Your Car Rated' thread in there, why not add something similar to what we have on news articles, a PH rating tool?

Recently I've been reading a lot more than writing, but I'd love to be able to rate some of the metal on show with out writing a post. smile

It would cause a lot of upset when someone only averages a "5" on the PH-o-meter against someone else's "8".

Back when this was all cottages and country pubs we did try a rating on posts... thing is, people get upset when their purchase decision is put down by their Internet peers and get upset. Some people cope with it well, and some just go on a moan rampage...

... I have seen it happen to many a PH News contributor too, and they should be thicker (skinned) hehe

Everybody always moans about everything anyway.

I wouldn't expect my current car to be rated highly, but there are one or two cars, especially the build threads and more detailed threads I rate quite highly.

If not rating on the public forum, what about a rating system for the cars in the 'My Garage' section of our profiles?

Just a thought! smile

It is a good thought smile

... and certainly something I will add to the list when we look at the members cars area. Just won't be on the forums any time soon.
