I was about to reset it and voted for a 5stars, "changing rating is not allowed". Now, there is a 5star thread in the forum got pull down by a naughter member, downgrade to become a 3 stars. So much about this BS. BTW, I just counter balanced with another 5 stars, now it is a 4 stars, that is fun :rolleyes:

Man Bun, you must have devistated that guy. I mean, there he was with five shiny stars and you came along and ruined it for him.:eek: But as we now know, he can just start a new thread, title in 'who stole my stars?' annd then give himself five new ones. But one still has to watch out for various rodant breeds, especially the Texas variety. ;) N

:D

ps:
rating=meaningless
a pity we can't vote several times :)

I just notice now, there are way too many 5 stars rating. I think I just unleased some 5star motivation, now everybody is rating on their own. Good job, bun.

I must say, this is going to be blinding with all those yellow stars. Oh well, five stars for everyone:D
Now to the issue of the thanks button. How can I thank myself too?:) I really want more thanks. Sorry, I'm just not taking this thread seriously enough;)

sungrove, was about to thank you since you asking for it, then realize there is NO thank you button on off topic thread. Reggie is sneaky.... and upon counting stars, I just lost one, that must from the ......


I will get up a big thank you on whatever your next post, how about that :) ?

I think it would make more sense to have only a single option - "I rate this thread highly". When the total count reaches some value a single star will appear (this is still very good, as most threads have no stars at all), at the next threshold another star appears and so on. 5 stars would mean that a _lot_ of people thinks the thread has high value.

Thats what it looks like, but in fact, one person can set the rating into a 5stars.

Well, that was my point exactly.. today you can rate it 1 to 5 stars, and if you set 5 stars (and nobody else sets anything) you'll get a thread with 5 stars. I described a different setup, it would look different (I'm not sure what you meant by 'Thats what it looks like'.. it doesn't look this way now)

I echo what your said, that the 5 stars appears a collective work of more than 1 person, the appearance, but in fact, its by one person, and even worst, it is by the OP.
