Web's Best Friend publishes daily ratings to rated newsgroups to assist users,
software products, and search engines in both avoiding newsgroups with
consistently problematic/irrelevant content and in finding those with
relevant content. The idea is create a global flight to quality, decreasing
readership of primarily spam/scam filled groups while increasing participation
in quality groups.

My rating for this newsgroup has increased significantly since I added
the troll and those that insist on responding to him to the killfile.
Other than that, I can hardly imaging reading a newsgroup or not based
on some user ratings (or rantings) from some website - if I could not
figure out what is useful my reading a few posts why would I believe
some random website?

Bob - did you click the link? It's a site trying to sell ad space with the
promise of showing NG ratings. As you said, totally useless even if there
were any information to glean from it.

It is a somewhat strange concept, but with Usenet forums becoming more
and more filled with spam, trolls, and off-topic comments and ads, it
may be of some help in finding a "good" content group, as a jumping "on"
point.

However, I do sort of wonder who would take the time to actually rate a
newsgroup regularly.

Couldn't agree more regarding blocking certain posters. Saves me a lot
of time, and frustration.

Maybe - but I feel it's just commercial abuse of an uncommercial idea.

However, I do sort of wonder who would take the time to actually rate a

I'd expect it to be unreliable. A much more reliable mechanism would be
to take the personal killfiles into consideration ;-)

That's ridiculous and worthless.
