I didn't even know there was a star thing. I don't think I care either.

oh ya! well your just a poopyhead

Agree. What one person thinks is helpful others may think is stupid. YMMV.

There are a couple folks here that think anything I post is stupid but I also have a few that think my [posts are 5 star worthy as well. I guess you can't please everyone all of the time...

I gave this thread a one-star rating, just for the novelty of it. The very next thread I post to, I'll a five-star, just for the heck of it.

And then I'll go back to ignoring the system. :)

To Tell the truth I have not ever given a star away, I do not even understand them or their importance if any.
I notice some by my last thread...(conversation about the 5th)
I have no clue.............

The douche bag parking thread, an awesome on IMHO, has only a 3 star rating. A crime is being perpetrated.

So stars means you hate it?

Only true if the rating system has value.

You have already rated the thread at 5 stars, either in you mind or in reality (or both, I guess), so how other people view the thread is meaningful, how?

Seriously, I really don't understand the value of the rating system. Could you explain it to me? I am not kidding in the least.

The rating system is only good if it is being used all the time and by most of us, then you could see at a glance if the topic was useful to most people, right now it appears to be very hit and miss, therefore more of a novelty.

I'll give you a 5 star MD to even out the "haters!"

Sometimes I accidentally bump it on my iPhone. And once my daughter tapped it. So if I gave you a 1-star, sorry.

I guess my "Star Rating" is Zero, as I have never given a star.
Like many others here have stated, I never notice them and am somewhat surprised that anyone actually pays attention to them.

What's next, a "Like" button?

It speaks volumes that you worry so much what your threads fetch in a non-representative polling system. You really do come here for attention, don't you? I just gave this thread one star, just for that! :D

You are hit or miss in my book in terms of threads you start. The sheer volume of started topics probably drags the quality down. 80% of them are not very interesting. I admit, I likely one-starred a few over the years even though I do rarely use that voting system ... :p

Mike, I like ya!


But you did buy my votes... ;)

The star business is totally pointless.

I am trying to find the answer with context here.
It makes people upset to get a "star", yet it means its popular subject, , yet people dont want a star?
Very Confusing .

+1
+1
The whole star thing is akin to how many "likes" someone has. Juvenile. A person must be very insecure to worry about how many stars your thread has. Not everyone is going to like you so why whine about it?

The ones who give single star ratings are just trolls anyway....lol.

So their vote is meaningless anyway. If the system was transparent - we would see that.

But it isn't - thus the rating system is defunct.

Hey Mike - you're one of the good guys - I would never rate your threads anything less than 5 stars! ;)

Star rating? What is this, third grade? I can't believe there's a post about it. I'm going to give this thread a solid One Star. :)

I don't know about that..
