Allow similar build threads?

Should we allow similar build threads?

  1. Yes, each build, similar or not, gets its own thread

  2. No, merging similar builds keeps the forums clean

  3. Mish mash and then builds with lots of likes get their own thread

    Ok, I have been thinking about this setting within the Administration even moreso... and I'm not sure this is appropriate for Topic Ratings. Basically, Topic Ratings is meant to only rate the first post in the topic... While, this option gives you the ability to enable posts within topics, it isn't quite proper for a Topic Rating. So, searching through a topic for all posts and calculating an average rating based on all posts within a topic, especially when the ratings type is set to topic doesn't make much sense to me.

    This just makes this feature much more complicated to me. I'm having a hard time understanding how to implement this... So, I won't bother with it, cause it seems like too much resources to be using on a users system to be even important enough to consider.

    Frankly, if Post Ratings Pro is set to Topic Ratings Type, than it is meant for the first post in the topic to be rated only. If you want all posts to be able to be rated, than switch Ratings Type to "Posts" instead.

    So, with that in mind, I will finish up the Stats page for Post Ratings and offer only the ability to order topics by rating with the following:

    1. Highest Rating
    2. Highest Rating with most votes
