Voting For Threads

nikebee · 24 Sep 2007 at 14:23

Just wondering how many people out there actually bother to vote for a thread, whether they think it's crap or really good?

Do you find yourself continually clicking 5 stars no matter what, or do you actually give out 3/4 stars... and 1 stars for poop threads?

You don't tend to see many 1 star threads, despite the fact that many people say 'REPOST!' or 'CRAP THREAD' etc....

I gotta say, myself, I tend to really only give out 5 stars to threads that get a good laugh from me. Or a 1 star if its a thread that really rubs me the wrong way...

*waits for this to get 1 star*

Pretty much the same. 1 star for rubbish, 5 star for great. No real in betweens.

CRAP THREAD etc. 1*

I think you'd have to be a bit OCD to rate every thread.

there ya go. 1 star from me

Have some average thread stars

Rarely vote at all, usually only if I think a thread is amazing.

I hardly ever give stars, unless a particular thread falls to one extreme or the other.

Have 2 stars for what is a less than average quality thread

Same for me, I can't be bothered voting for everything so just do the extreme ends of the scale.
If I see a 5 star thread that I haven't read yet I be more likely to check it out than if it didn't have a rating.

if its a great thread i give it 5*'s thats it usually.

however if i see a 5 * thread that is clearly rubbish i vote 1 * cos im a bit sad

Yup same here but ill make an exception today.,...

1* from me...

The way i see it, if a thread hs some stars against it, that normally marks it to be read and look for classic o'o'o'o'o'o'cocker remarks.

ScarySquirrel · 24 Sep 2007 at 14:47

I never remember to vote for threads, unless someone posts "have 5 stars etc." Then if I agree I vote.

I believe the phrase is: pwned!

I remember when Tru became a 'serial ratist' and rated every thread, lots of other people started doing it too and sure enough most threads had a rating.

Let's do it again! It looked funny..
