Unsubscribing .
pointless dribble.

Urban Dictionary: attention whore
attention whore
Label given to any person who craves attention to such an extent that they will do anything to receive it. The type of attention (negative or positive) does not matter.

ckelly78z 03-21-2015 07:40 PM

I guess the point is that I don't care what other people say about a thread, if it interest's me, i'll look at it with no regard to a star rating....rather like Craigslist and how viewing for-sale posts always reverts back to "relevant" when what I want to see is the "newest" posts.

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! <img src="http://forums.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Big Grin" class="inlineimg"><br>

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 ... <img src="http://forums.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/tongue.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Stick Out Tongue" class="inlineimg"><br>

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 <i>One Star</i>. <img src="http://forums.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smilie" class="inlineimg">
Humpf! Now I hate you!

One star for spelling, ALWAYS!

I have the guts to admit it! You asked and got the attention you need! :)

I should not say much - I rarely start threads - but you DID ask!

A 'couple'?

Doc, I don't think anyone hates you.

i gave it a one.

Oh come on, be honest. You start a thread and maybe your feeling good about it or maybe it's a joke and then you get a 1 star. You gotta admit (if to no one else but to yourself) that it makes you think...

Sometimes...it's better for a man just to walk away.
But if you can't walk away?
I guess that's when it's tough.

Schumi 03-22-2015 11:10 AM

I rarely, rarely even notice the stars. Only a few times have I noticed them attached to my own threads.

I admit I have had some small threads that were immediately 1-2 star rated, and I wholly admit that those threads likely deserved them. I've made some god awful posts here.

M.D. Holloway 03-22-2015 11:12 AM

Your not alone. This is a place to clear the rubbish and write in stream of unconscience.

Por_sha911 03-22-2015 12:02 PM

Worried about stars? I have to ask you, where's the little girl?

pcardude 03-22-2015 12:48 PM

I like to give 5 stars

M.D. Holloway 03-22-2015 03:19 PM

You are a good guy. I give you 5 stars.

Por_sha911 03-22-2015 04:29 PM

Great! We give 5 stars if we like the person instead of if the thread is worthwhile.

p.s. I gave this thread 1 star and I have the guts to say so...

CHICKS 03-23-2015 06:32 AM

I gave one star.

I bet so...a few weak, cowards with hate here...

I don't take note of stars but because of this thread looked back at some of the Red State PARF threads I started.

They all seem to have been given 2-stars.

Most recent thread 1-star.

I don't feel outraged at all, but would like perhaps like to know if the people responsible are even posting in the threads.

Is a star like a post without words?

That does seem a bit cowardly, but not if they are also posting.

RE: Video........................where's the little girl?

Hilarious.

While I have never rated one of your many Red State threads, a person rating it with one star was probably hampered by not have a 1/4 or 1/2 star option. Perhaps a better indicator would be a negative number or even an icon for a black hole.

kach22i 03-23-2015 06:49 AM

See, zero stars would work for you in this situation.

And for me too.

onewhippedpuppy 03-23-2015 07:15 AM

I don't want your damn stars!:cool:

tabs 03-23-2015 07:21 AM

I always give my Threads FIVE BIG ONES..stars that is...

M.D. Holloway 03-23-2015 09:02 AM

I only give 5 stars because this is about participation and not a competition. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Some of you guys are jerks on line but I have never met one in person.

For that a pass is granted.

Scuba Steve 03-23-2015 09:32 AM

If I see 1 star I automatically throw out 5 stars unless the thread is actually terrible, but that's rarely the case.

speeder 03-23-2015 02:46 PM

In 15 years here, I've never noticed the stars unless someone points them out, (usually complaining), such as here. I've never given a star rating.

I have to say that this begs the question, how old are we here? :confused:

Schumi 03-23-2015 03:07 PM

speeder this thread got me thinking about that as well, I went and was looking back at my post count and threads and noticed I'm comping up on my 10-year mark soon, and that is just the time registered... there were years where I was a lurker only.

This is my longest running board now. I had done 5-6, even 7-years at old groups/bbs/forums that made their way in the early 2000's but this one is my long haul...

Aragorn 03-25-2015 02:10 PM

I gave you five stars.:D

Never understood the whole star rating thing though.

Ya mean like someone starting a thread berating a fellow Pelican they were fighting with over in a tech form and being somewhat ambiguous about who that poster was and giving no info as to what the disagreement was about?

M.D. Holloway 03-25-2015 06:55 PM

You're going to have to be less cryptic, I have no idea what you're referring to. :confused:

You get a gold star on your test from the teacher, and the class will call you her pet !

red-beard 03-26-2015 05:04 AM

I gave the thread 5 stars. I only star rate threads that someone gives a one star and I give 5 stars.
