Ripping from Vinyl, Simplified

    How can you possibly rate a comment as "overrated" when there hasn't been any rating done to that post yet? I could see "Offtopic" or something to that tune, but for fucks sakes, think about the what your trying to say...

    Saying "I think the people who NEVER moderated this story Overrated it." is pretty stupid, isn't it? Hello? Is this thing on? (Tap Tap Tap)

    P.S. Your mother was overrated... But she was still rated first, ya schmuck!

      How about "Rating this post at 0 would be over-rating it, so I shall say that this post is overrated." That makes sense to me.

      Your right, your post was rated at 0...

      The use of the "overrated" moderation is to indicate that you feel that the moderators who have come and gone have somehow given too high a rating to a post.

      What it is not there to do, is to moderate down a post that sits at it's current score by it's own merit... (Score of 1, or 2 through higher Karma scores).

      To effectively, correctly moderate the post down, it would have to be rated as offtopic (which it is) inflammatory (which it probably was as well), Inappropriate, etc... Those are all valid reasons for moderating an initial score down.

      Check out the moderator guidelines...

      (iainl replying as AC, since this really is offtopic)

      Actually, I think a lot of the people using the over/underrated options when moderating are doing it for the same reason that plenty used to use redundant.

      Some out there, despite the changes to "excellent" etc on the Karma front are paranoid about losing any in meta - over, under and redundant don't seem to appear in meta, and so you can't be hurt on it. Its petty, and its not like there aren't plenty of chances to score easy Karma to make it back should you care, but some people are just like that. Don't take it personally.

      I certainly wish they'd bring back the visible karma score. It's no fun being stuck in excellent all the time. I want a number damnit! From 1 to 100!!!

    I always found that my Vinyl always performed a little better after I used some New Finish 2001 or Armor All on it. Of course, sometimes those cigarrete burnholes can be a pain in the ass... I just take a little sandpaper, and a vinyl repair kit to those, and it fixes them right up.

    oh, wait, you were talking about "Records"...

    silly me...

    And it better not be any of that "I keep my family fed and happy" crap either.

    The answer is right here:

    Is the sound on vinyl records better than on CDs or DVDs?
