Wayne's mad

He says we're using too many stars. And some threads are getting more stars than they should, too.

I give this thread a 5 star rating!!


But that would appear to be average.. based on the other threads here....

I wonder if there is a default setting in this section because I've never even rated a thread.

There are some folks that vent their displeasure with the poster on the subject of threads.

They're of the same mentality of the hall moniters you used to have in elementary schools, in short, they're extraordinarily childish. The rating scheme should be removed from OTD, in my opinion, and reserved for use in the tech areas where it has genuine value.

Just my opinion, of course.

Are the stars taking up too much bandwidth? We could get rid of them so we have more space for the Porsche and Babes thread. Just a thought.

i think it's a problem of OT garbage showing up when normal people want to search for normal technical threads...

I didn't know there was a charge for stars? Instead of rating the whole thread, can we expand it so we can rate each response to a thread? I'd like to give a negative star each time someone here refers to others as childish or retarted!!!

Most of the OT group has become fairly hard to fool by now. We know each other. We know about Steve Carlson and we know about Wayne Dempsey. We know Steve is always serious. There's no way he'd participate in stuff like practical jokes and such. And then there's Wayne and his anger management issues.

Strange that Wayne used a messenger, he usually speaks his mind very clearly and in no uncertain terms of what he thinks and wants.

If the stars are a problem Wayne can delete the rating feature.

If the way people are voting is not in line with Wayne's vision of how ratings should work, doubtless he will clarify.

If they are eating up bandwidth the feature can again be deleted.

I give this thread one star for content,
I give this thread two stars for humour,
I give this thread no stars for Porsche content,
I give this thread no stars for Porsche technical content,
I give this thread no stars for babe content
I give this thread five stars for religious and political content

This thread started as a joke in the R1100S forum, because someone rated all the threads in the BMW R1100S forum with 5 stars... I guess one of the moderators there, moved it to OT.

No problem. I'll just rate all the threads here with five stars. It's kind of Christmasy, anyway...
