How to check the user ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

How do I find the user name who has given rating (stars) in my blog / document in SCN ?

you can like content but nobody can dis-like content, the thumbs-down icon is not here as it is Youtube. But here you can see who liked it, in Youtube you cannot.

Would you click dis-like if your name can be seen?

would you rate 1 star if your name could be seen by the poster?

How would you react to the users who rated your content 1star if you could see it?

Not displaying it is a kind of protection of privacy.

Dear Jurgen,

Ya, I can understand the logic behind it . Thanks for describing it transparently . But I believe if any users gives suggestions for improvement rather than giving one star  then it would help more both to the writer and SCN.

I am herewith closing this  thread.

Thanks to all,

Nilutpal.

Hi

Thank you for explaining the matter and providing me this link. But I still I can't understand why this anonymity is required. If someone has rated my content 1 star, I should see it. That would at least encourage me to post better content next time.

Yup you can make a provision that if some user rates a document below 3, a comment is mandatory else once cannot rate it below than that.

Just a suggestion.

Why is this information important? I believe that members will be less likely to rate something 3 stars or less if it they weren't under the protection of anonymity. I also don't see what value knowing who the rater is: the rating is still valid.

This has been discussed elsewhere before: See the comments on this poll: When do you give a Star Rating on SCN?

Hi Jason,

I never said that this should be mandatory. I initially asked why this is not visible, for which I got the response that it for maintaining anonymity.

My next query raised from here that why this anonymity is maintained for rating only when once can see the users for everything else.

I mean it really does not affect me in any way and i don't want this info. But I m seeking this only for a satisfactory logic behind.

Unfortunately not all have so much understanding. As I rarely hide with my opinion I collected some experience. People remove likes and even correct answers from older discussions, rate your blogs and documents low too, ask for even more justification by mail (which is the harmless content what reaches you by mail)

A mandatory comment could even more hurt the poster than encouraging him to do better. And it would cause even less bad ratings.

There is much too less rating at all. Just yesterday I saw a blog with about 50000 views, no rating. I have a document that has 8 times more bookmarks than ratings.

Yup: the protection and safety of anonymity is the reason why members have the right and option to rate content anonymously.

Ok I surrender. I just wanted to know the specific reason, not wanted to make it mandatory

Thanks for your inputs.

It would be great to be able to see this (just as for "likes"), as it would help in narrowing down points gaming. I'm afraid the answer will be that the Jive framework doesn't allow it.

Oops... in my case user has only given rating , so I guess then it will be impossible to find..

Is there any alternate way or may I know why this is been restricted from viewing ?

Lets wait for SCN team reply. They can can provide exact reason why they hide rated user id details.

Hi,

As i know till today that is the question to me also. there is no way to find who gave rating to you.

we can guess him when he do comment along rating or liking. but there is no history with user id.

Thanks

User name can be seen only if user gives rating, and immediately writes a review.

In that case, comment box would show how many stars were given.

Otherwise, it is anonymous.
