STAR RATINGS

In every profile, there is a star rating.

If people like you, they click five stars, if they don't, they click one.

SO, after I noticed my star rating go from ***** to *** in a day, I found out that if someone doesn't like you,

and they're bored, they can just sit all night and lower the number of stars in your rating until it goes to one.

MY QUESTION----

IS rating someone's popularity a good thing on a goth board?

OR is it just childish?

AND

Does anyone like the idea that in one night, any one of us can change someone's lifetime rating?

Well the star rating is pretty pointless when it comes to active posters from what it looks like, your reputation is made by the posts, not the stars. Haters are gonna hate, let them hate, it just proves you got something over them.

:)

Exactly. We love you no matter how many starts you have E!! :p

You guys are awesome!

Well, bean bumped me up to four. It took her forever!

Someone really doesn't like me.

I don't know why I care.

I will work harder on being awesome and secure.

bean being a Buddha bear said if I don't become that way, I can do it in my next life.

As for my starting this thread, I don't want it to happen to any of you. It just doesn't seem fair to give disgruntled people that much power..

But since I'm apparently the only one that noticed the star ratings in the first place,

I guess you guys are good! :fun:

I am raising your warning level to mauve for correcting me.

Hahaha!

For all those wangs sitting around actually clicking on low stars for whatever reason.....please know that we really don't care, and that the whole thing is just comical. If clicking a low star gives you some illusion of power, then you can keep that sad and desperate illusion all to yourself. The last I knew, I didn't even have any stars, and I wear that with pride! :thumbsup:

It kind of seems like for every one person you (the generic you, not E, specifically) piss off on this board, there are five others who respect you that much more for having the courage to tell it like it is. But I know I am not in the habit of clicking 5 stars for people every time I like something that they have to say, and I think the majority of users here are the same way.

And, yes, having ratings systems on a board with play-nice-rules seems a bit oxymoronic (is that a word?) if you ask me.

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
