Re: Re: "I've already rated this" icon
Greetings,

It would be extremely stressing on Writing.Com's servers to check every item displayed to each member for previous ratings. It would slow down the loading of any page where this was needed if implement on a sitewide basis of any significance. If ever implemented, it would have to be limited to Premium or even Professional members to ensure we didn't have to raise everyone's prices just to upgrade the servers because of how much additional database load would be generated.

In my humble opinion, I doubt "mistaken" views of this nature are the bulk of double views. For the average static item, the extended statistics will show that the Average Views Per Member on the item is on or around 2.0. This means that the average person views an item two times or less. Remember: viewing and then rating an item counts as 2 views (one for the view before the rating, one for the view after it). As such it's not a wide spread problem that significantly effects stats in any truely noticeable way. If it were, we'd see consistant 3.0+ views per member.

Hope that helps,
~~SM
