The one star club

I didn't check to see if could mention anyone, so I won't mention any names. I'll just say that I'm honored to be in the one star club. You see, I've noticed that threads awarded one star tend to be the most well constructed, poignant, and thought provoking. (Okay, except for PARF.) I guess certain people are jealous of that ability.

Thank you, thank you, my haters. It's an honor that I consume your every waking thought and unfulfilled desire. Thank you

Can I rate this thread 1/2 star?

Honestly I forgot there was a rating. Don’t feed the trolls!

Reach for the stars.

To tell the truth I've never noticed.

Do you all actually take a look at the ratings?

In 24 years here, I've never noticed them once unless someone is pointing them out like this thread.

If not on mobile ... I can't help but notice the stars and other info on a page.... I wish I could not .

The "star club" is for special members .... and PARF is the perfect place for star givers ... and gazers

Rock on Dixie...

I've never rated a thread. If I think a thread is lame I won't contribute to it.

Maybe we worry too much about what other people think of us.

I think I've given out 5 starz ... ever. It was my own thread about how lame and 3rd grade-ish it all was years ago

I started a thread about 14 years ago ... which referred to years of star crap.... and just pulled it up.... which led back to...

"The Coward Of OT"

Find THAT thread and enjoy the madness

What a fantastic book that was. Sneetches and other stories.


OP I would take a low rating as a badge of honor. You have officially upset a Karen. And is there really any more noble pursuit than that in this life? I say nay OP, nay.

^I don't know about that.
Lotta times I see the one star ratings follow particular posters/ and specific type posts.
Also, on my computer, I see two one star threads on the first page of OT
If is was random, I would expect to see 2 one star threads on the first page of PARF. I count 8 over there, and people do have to be logged in for that.

on certain subjects the one star ratings are predictable as the sunrise.

Not to be combative but wouldn't the OP in this example be the Karen? Complaining to the manager about the rating of a thread they started?
