Slashnotes: Story Rankings now available

from the useless-statistics dept.
We’ve added a new rating system for stories. To rate any story from 1 (bad) to 5 (good), just click on the 1 2 3 4 5 links below the story. There’s also a “Top Rated” sidebar on the Home page that displays the top-rated stories. (Even a story rated ‘1′ by several people is considered higher-rated than one that didn’t get rated at all. Any attention is good attention.)
I’ll eventually add a display of rankings to the Archive page so you can quickly find the ‘best’ stories. Currently we allow one rating vote per story per IP address. Eventually we’ll fix it to be a bit more sophisticated, so all you AOL users on the same proxy address will have separate votes.
