A little new to the forum here. Starting to notice some of the features available. I see under everyone's name in their posts an area that has stars and is labeled "member rated". Looks like we can click on this and rate a member, correct?
What's the purpose of the feature? Is it kind of like feedback on ebay? :p Does it show more credibility by the poster or something?
Sorry for the stupid questions.

The member rating was designed to let you know how others feel about the credibility of a member. OOFatso has it about right tho, It works till you get some drunk smart ass punk who decides he doesnt like what you are saying and dogs your rating.
I hear from the higher ups that it could be on its way out for that very reason. It only takes a few shit-for-brains to screw it up for the rest of us.....just like always. NB

Star snipers are everywhere. I shot you 5 just to keep you going.
I can't believe they would take it away though as it doesn't seem to have been that big of an issue, but then again, what do I know? :D

To many here, this community is a popularity contest so this is a great means of metering how they are doing.....

Also, don't forget that there may be some people out there that think "1 star" is the highest rating....

Whats up with all these people posting asking to get good ratings in one way or another. I thought you had to do something worth while to get good ratings.
I have posted a ton of good pics and helped out plenty of people and I have 2 stars in a years span. This guy has two weeks on here and has 4 stars.
Ok where do I get my knee pads jawdrop

I was hoping this wouldn't happen. My intent wasn't to rate myself, just to understand what these stars were for. If it makes you feel any better I won't lose any sleep over the amount of stars I have. You will also find that a lot of the older members here know me quite well from a much larger forum I have been on for a couple of years.

Ok where do I get my knee pads jawdrop Kilrtoy: I figured by helping with the Christmas party and hosting the New Years Party I would have "earned" some decent rating... besides all my informational postings, I would have scored. Tho after all the "drama" lately, frankly I dont give a damn...
My personal thoughts are to get rid of the whole rating system and get back to boating talk.... imagine that :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
NB
Just looked and just from this thread I got punked again.... too funny. You would think that if someone had a problem with you they would tell ya...straight up. Not just dog you cuz they are too chicken to say so on the boards.

No whining here....I would never punk someone stars due to unrelated drama or if I just didn't like what they were saying, especially if I dont really know them. We have a pretty diverse group here....pretty interesting at times...makes for goods humor too eek!

Who was it that was trying to get rid of em ? I seem to recall they couldn't get to 0 because somebody kept giving them a 5 ! Was it LV? An interesting twist on the shoot-me-5-and-I'll-shoot-you-5 posts don't you think? My rating actually did drop despite all the claims of 5's. Interesting. No one ever took credit for sending less. :) Human nature I suppose. But I did try to drop to one...no luck yet.

Why not? Why be a slave to the stars?
Just another trouble maker...

I am the voice without a star...
I discovered almost immediately after the stars started that I was getting 10 fives and 1 one. You can't please everyone, and I was concerned my thoughts would inadvertenly turn to saving stars, instead of being myself. I promptly shut it off at 4 stars, but not before 75 votes.
Now, I don't worry about it. By hanging yourself out there and choosing to enter into controversial topics you make yourself a target. People don't think to give you stars for good posts, but the very second you start to say something that disagrees with them you end up with one star.
In any case, I have seen an individual's star count at the beginning of one of those "I'll give you 5 if you give me 5" posts, and what it is at the end, and I have yet to see someone's stars go up the amount advertised. In addition, it appears that a lot of the people claiming five added need to be giving ones, unless everyone is giving threes. So, even when people are saying you are getting five, the stats don't add up.
Screw the stars, enjoy the boards!
Just don't ask what post count stands for anymore. It appears it can either mean you have been on here a long time, posted a lot of pics and answered a lot of questions...
Or that you are bored.
