The lost art of thread rating

Good going guys i see lots of stars

Beansprout · 22 Sep 2005 at 15:14

I'm going to rate every thread throughout the entire forum

I figure a good way to do this is use the new posts button, so hopefully we'll all be rating similar, active threads (don't you need about 3 ratings before a rating shows up?)

I think 5 is the minimum before ratings show up. Keep it up people.

Come on people! Lots of stars already.

I too will rate each thread I read, as they look nice and shiny!

Hugogo · 22 Sep 2005 at 17:18

Gah rating every thread is a terrible idea.

Tru · 22 Sep 2005 at 17:23

89 votes in this thread, 13 more and it's a forum record.

So many stars in one sig, feel blind.

Don't know if it's because I'm colour blind, but all these rated threads mess me eyes up

Blackstar · 22 Sep 2005 at 17:53

I like stars

Guinnezz · 22 Sep 2005 at 18:25

Only kidding

Rated 3 threads 5 stars and 1 thread 1 star.

When people get home from work and school tonight and open the forums they'll be like, "omf wtg?", and we'll be like, "what up?", and they'll be like, "pwetty stars!", and we'll be like, "oh them? they're OK". It'll be so cool.

I did actually have that convo in my head when I got in. Well, half of it anyway.

5*'s for this one. It's a worthy cause, you have the support of my sig

Minxy · 22 Sep 2005 at 19:09

Up the starry sigs!

When we're rating threads should we do so in comparison to the general quality of the forum (i.e. Average for GD) or through some sort of objective analysis?

PeterNem · 23 Sep 2005 at 01:03

I kind of figured that any of the following should earn a thread 1 star regardless of content...

*Threads with a mis-leading or poorly thought out title
*Threads in which the opening poster is reposting something already on the first page
*Threads where the opening poster writes an essay length post without any carriage returns, or with poor punctuation.
*Generally stupid threads (what colour socks should I wear today? Should I get out of bed on the left or right? etc)
