Sometimes I accidentally rate something when I didn't want to, or accidentally hit Red instead of Green...
Would it be difficult to have an "Undo" button?

or place them farther apart. sometimes if you are on the green, the red clicks and vice versa.
The "undo" button would be an awesome idea

On the wow skin they are entirely too close together. I use the old gray one. I will go check the distance on them later...
I've been thinking about this, and if an Undo is too difficult to implement, how about a user configurable option for a confirmation box, and by default it be turned off, then just those of us that want it, can turn it on?
Yther Ore.

Or something like.. the system Digg uses for digging up and down comments. If you digg something down the thumbs down button becomes greyed out. But you can use the digg up button to either nullify your rate or click it twice to rate it up +1 instead.

Done. (hit F5 if you don't see the change)
Tatsumi: Good idea. I'll look in to that possibility.

It's doubtful we'll put in an undo feature. The current system was never designed to be rolled back. Being able to rate up/down constantly would likely create rounding errors that could be exploited to increase or decrease someone's karma. That would obviously not be a desired effect.

Being able to just use each arrow once each sounds good and safe though. You would be able to change your rate exactly, but it would serve as "close enough" for an undo of your previous rate.

But what about just deleting the old rate, like it never happened. No rounding errors, etc.
Even if you can't rate again, just a complete delete of the previous rating, and sacrifice any chance to rate that post.
I don't know the details behind the new systems "up and down" but before when you rated them 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5(or was Excellet a 6?), it was just those numbers, added together, divided by the total to average the rating of the post. And apparently you double rated when posting at your base karma.

Thought I would ask here as I've always wondered this: Does a rating from a Guru increase/decrease karma more that say a rating from a scholar?
Or does one green arrow = one rate up regardless or the rank of the rater?
Or does one green arrow = one rate up regardless or the rank of the rater?

Rating a post down by hand from Excellent to Unrated is an exercise in carpal tunnel, however, so there's also a handy button to apply (I believe) 50 ratedowns at once.
The -50 button pretty much nukes a post. Posts with negative karma values (aka, nuked posts) aren't included in your karma calculations. So, unless a post had an insane number of up ratings, the -50 button just makes it disappear while not effecting anyone's karma.
Admins have many many cool buttons.

It may also just be wishful thinking.

If I remember correctly from when I accidentally made 23ish posts in a row here.. any rate downs made before the post actually goes negative still affects karma. I may be remembering wrong, but oh well!
