Hey Wayne, Have you ever considered...
getting rid of the utterly stupid (and juvenile) thread rating system on this board? What purpose does it serve, other than to allow a few "children" to voice their pleasure/displeasure with someone? It's 'bout as beneficial as 3rd grade "popularity contest" imo, and I for one totally disregard it until it's called to my attention within a thead. Or maybe a modification...say maybe a 5 vote threshold before the "stars" appear. Just my .02 cents worth...now I think I'll go rate my first thread
 .

There's a thread rating system??
Cool! (Where is the 'like'-button when you need one?  )No green font available or I would use it. |

I see no reason to eliminate something most people are ignoring anyway.

I think Wayne has more important things to do than customizing his bbs software so that a few users don't get their panties in a bunch. JMO

This was the post (on another thread) that 'caused me to notice them (and start this thread)
:5 stars (to counter the OSB's) ps: I do know from the past that OSB = One Star Bandit (or at least that's what I think it means)... pps: Maybe I just need to go mobile..."beep beep" (thanks Pete and Roger) |

OTher than allowing people some passive agressive retaliation... Does anyone actually look at those stars? I know I don't...

At least don't allow the person that started the thread to rate their own thread....A poor topic can get a one star to warn us, the person that started it gives it a 5 star and then it will average and show 3....
