Personally, I have never liked the rating system being displayed on our usernames.
I don't post often, am mostly a lurker, so I never really got a lot of ratings in the first place. I noticed today that due to the server update all the ratings were reset, and now I got like three, and one is negative due to a disagreement in the political thread, and having my username marked with a 33% "negative" red bar feels like it's unfairly marking me for what is a general disagreement.
Can we not just have the ratings only visible as emotes when we like or disagree with someone, and not a "brand" so to speak, that we are stuck with for everyone to see? It really discourages me from being true to myself when I worry further disagreements will just further mark me into the red and present me as a "negative" poster on the forum.
