Dorks who are rating the threads one star

[red-beard]

Why?

[DasBoot]

Who cares? Who even bothers to rate a thread? On another forum I belong to, users are allowed to rate the individual posters, based on their helpfulness (or lack of).

P.S. - Just gave this thread one star for wasting my click...

Thank-you RED, the lil F'ers are pi$$ing me off too!
Must be a new form of anonymous trolling?

I'll bet Wayne can tell who it is? Ban the prick.

[nostatic]

because they can?

wait, is this a trick question?

[mossguy]

Is this a bad thing?

If so, why?

Best,
Tom

I find it mildly annoying to see nearly every thread with a one-star rating, no matter how innocent the content.

[svandamme]

this thread is terrible.
I just had to vote

[UconnTim97]

I never actually noticed the thread rating until now. Does it really serve any purpose?

I choose to read threads based on the title, not the rating.

[Jim Richards]

How come there is no 0 star option?

[Porsche-O-Phile]

It's probably that guy from Rennlist.

[red-beard]

It is the roman numeral star system

Just ask Shauny why he does it?

Lets just say they have different view points about politics and religion than you and I have, so we get one star.
look at it as a badge of honor, a way of them admitting you are better than they are.

EDIT: there seems to be a new rash of one star ratings that don't follow the previous pattern, everyone check your computer to make sure you little kids aren't using it.

would be good if there was a way of detecting by whom the ratings were posted.

[slakjaw]

This has happened before...

not my thing Ted, and you'll catch more by casting your aspersions in a different direction.

I do find it amusing how many panties get bunched up about it though.

carry on girls.

That's not the democratic way.

+1 - I just don't get it. Grown men (I'm assuming) worried about the star rating of their posts? Let's just compare dick size or who makes more money while we're at it.

[911Rob]

I can pretty much guarantee that I'd win on both counts. Ha, ha!

Here's the scenario, I post a thread about my son that has just cheaten death in an auto accident and there are a few replies on the thread when I notice some azshole has gone and rated it a one star? No other threads were hit at the time.

Now if the idiot that did that were sitting next to me, he'd get a slap.
fwiw, who gives a rip, I don't start many threads but that one did pi$$ me off.
I notice jerks do this all the time.

Now just cause I make more money and am a bigger dick than you; really?

[slakjaw]

Thats a nice booty
