Dromoz allows
users to rate its content and other users. Users can rate the usefulness
of directory records. They can also rate the helpfulness of another user.
These ratings can generally serve as indicators of quality. Rating is
based on a scale of -5 points (worst) to +5 points (best).
Each directory record is alloted
a Dromoz Rating value. This rating is shown on a color bar near a
directory record. Its value is the aggregate of all user-awarded points
pertaining to a particular record.
