    The star rating system

    I see you rate most of your read threads as one star, why? It's not nice, sorry.

    Your health and well-being comes first and fore-most.

    Few topics are worthy of my 5 stars tho I didn't mean to offend, just giving credit where its due.

    You will find that I did rate several topics as 5.

    To be honest I was just messing around with the star ratings thing as I'd not used it before. Nobody bothers with this rating feature but maybe this post will start people using it.

    You have the right to vote, so use it before you lose it.

    p.s. I rated this topic as 1 Super Angry

    Re: Britpop pls stop littering the pages with one stars!

    britpop, the scale is not digital (1 or 0). There are five levels.

    Re: Britpop pls stop littering the pages with one stars!

    Sorry, but have to agree with Britpop on this.
    He's been given a vote and has chosed to use it. I doubt if anyone would complain if he kept stamping 5 stars on each thread.
    I also agree that the level of some threads lack debate and discussion and therefore could reasonable be expected to attain only one star.
    Ultimately, this (and all other) web-forum systems are rather childish or immature in the star system. number of hits or responses would be a more apt measure.
    I'll give this thread a 3.

    Re: Britpop pls stop littering the pages with one stars!

    As not every post on the General Forum is going to butter your sprouts, is there any point in rating down posts that are clearly not going to be of any interest to you? I don't own a Beo 5 for example, so it might be reasonable to think that I might find pictures of other people's Beo 5s boring, so I don't bother looking. If I did, still found them boring and then rated the thread down as a result, what would be the point???

    Re: Britpop pls stop littering the pages with one stars!

    I don't mind what people do really! If they want to express an opinion on something, a rating or a post is fine. I suppose I would regard a 1 star rating as meaning that the thread was rubbish and so would rarely ( certainly on Beoworld!Laughing ) use that. But this is a free site , so post as you will. I suppose it would bother me if people were upset by persistently low ratings so perhaps a little sensitivity is called for!

    I think your all taking it personally, I didn't intend to rubbish your posts. Don't over analyze it, I really didn't put much thought into it when I did it.Embarrassed

     

     For the 2nd time in a week I'm off for an early bath. Sorry. Laughing

    Graham - at the top left hand side of the OP is a line of 5 stars for rating - I think you'll be able to figure out the rest. An old fart like me managedSmile

    Nope - pardon me for being a thicky! I can't see where to vote either!

    Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.

    Re: Britpop pls stop littering the pages with one stars!

    Ah well it's all good. I just don't see the point in rating so many threads as rubbish. Keeping the forum a generally positive place is all i was concerned about when i put up this thread. I know if put up a thread that i wanted people to read, but had a one star, i wouldn't feel as confident to post. Keeping the forums as open to people as possible should be a priority as every bit of information brought to us by the members, counts.

    I am changing the topic of thread as it appears as it seems a bit negative. I think it has served a useful purpose though as clearly some did not realise that the rating system existed. I hope this is approved of!
