That's a great time-saver!

Wow, thanks. Now i can rate HYIPs in batch :)) Porn too

Great idea to have more possibilities, depending on level.

After all there are at least 3 kinds of us:
Newbies, that just bought their first pc
More or less expperienced users.
Experts in this or that field.

Most times one solution does not fit all equally well;
so offering differentiated methods would be optimal.. :)

Deborah: "The tool, called "Mass rating" is located
in Gold and Platinum level user's Profile pages..."

Since I'm not gold yet, I'll have to wait, but how long?
I couldn't recall where the list was located,
and in the end I had to google WOT.
Here's the list (to save you some time):

Platinum - 10,000 points
Gold - 6000 points
Silver - 3000 points
Bronze - 1500 points
Blue - beginner

PS: WOT has 13 members gold or above,
based upon "Most active users",
so far (15 Sept) at least...

Yes, I could imagine a tail. I think I read about it somewhere last year, but forgot about it until reminded. Thanks for the link....

Actually there's also a third category, beyond hyperactive and less active users. In lack of a better word I'll call them 'ghosts'; users that signed up once, and then forgot all about it, no activity at all. Last month I was checking a small sample of users of Siteadvisor (looking for bogus), and I was amazed at the amount of ghost-profiles. Then again, it's an uncertain category; I recall that I was quite inactive the first half year myself, then I returned, and started rating for real. And still am, here and there. But, I too started as a 'ghost'...

But back to the original point: 13 users qualifying for the new mass-rating tool is not much. Perhaps this limit shouldn't be tied directly to levels? How many more users could be allowed, if the limit was 5000 instead of 6000..?

I think we'll see how the mass rating tool works for the more experienced users first, before considering lowering the activity score limit, but it's possible.

I like to consider myself as a vigilante against this kind of behaviour. If I see people manipulating comments, I generally look through their comments and see if any of their ratings need "countering"

A more standard drive tool is greatly needed, just how do we get to use it and own do we earn our way up the totem pole.

Just curious...why is the limit only 100? What if the user have a lot?
Example the person has 100k of domains...
I'm sure it would seriously take a long time to finish.

how exactly does the mass rating tool work?
i know i'm a long way off, but i'm wondering what it looks like, how it works (faster, less clicking?)

thanks.

Here's my 2 cents on this:

I totally disagree with this mass rating tool idea. The whole idea of rating a site should be that someone actually determines that a site is trustworthy or not. Mass rating makes that sites get a bad rating, just because it's on someones 'hit list'. If that's a false positive (site isn't REALLY bad) then the bad rating is amplified by multiple users mass rating a site as bad without even confirming it! Hurting someone('s sites) reputation without even checking it out is not cool.

MyWOT isn't getting better through this... it makes me trust it less.

And I am deprived the right to a mass rating, i don't care
