Looking through blogs I've noticed a new rate this comment addition.  Anyone else notice this....and exactly why do comments need rated?  I'm not quite sure what to make of this....

Thoughts?

Incredibly pointless, are they trying to be digg or something?

No one is going to use this.

edit: haha you can rate comments both up and down - try it.

Apparently, the comments receiving a thumbs down which are therefore "rejected" will be hidden away.

I think it's going to end up being fruitless and discarded in a couple of months. I see no point in it unless you implement it in the way FreakyZeeky has today.

He's asked for a bunch of movie recommendations to watch over the weekend and he'll decide on what to watch based on the ratings of comments.

Most of the changes are unnecessary....like when they changed the profiles so you have three tabs to click instead of seeing it all on one page....why?

Rating comments...why?

Next they'll have us rate posts....:(

All I want is for them to fix the quick reply/quote!

This has to be the first topic that you made in.....Foever..

I think it's to block comments with negative ratings.

It seems strange, but then again most changes on Gamespot are strange at first. I remember when Gamespot reorginized the Boards with new Icons(Flame, Pencil, etc.) At first most people didn't like it but now its the norm. Same thing with the bigger Avatars

Well, I like the icons. Makes the boards more orginized IMO.
