It is very frustrating that people keep marking opinions as "not useful" and some of us have complained to Toluna about it, but I don't really see what they can do. No-one, not even Toluna has a right to decide if someone is right for marking an opinion "not useful" as the marking of an opinion is in itself an opinion. A lot of users tend to use this site as a private message board and this is not what the site is for, so someone who leaves a "Not Useful" in that instance may be correct as the the message is not actually offering a useful opinion on anything. Similarly with actual opinions that may only be 1-4 words long, well that could be construed as a "Not Useful" opinion as some of them just ask a question of people and give a one word yes or no as their own answer, again this isn't actually a useful opinion. Having said that, some people mis-understand the concept of the button and mark opinions "Not Useful" simply because they don't agree which I think is the bigger problem. I don't really care if people mark my opinions useful or not, but now it is being tied into the points system we might all see a drop in awards which is why my problem is not with the system itself, but with the points being decided by it. Possibly a solution is to be able to see exactly who marked your opinions and what they marked it as, but then that could turn into ill feeling between members if someone takes exception to a "Not Useful". | | | 4 people found this opinion useful | | 2 people found this opinion not useful |
