Parrothead Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Why am I always one step behind on these boards. :) Are you talking about the thread star rating? Or those little boxes under your name? I know how the stars get there, but how about the little boxes? !!!!????? I thought they were circles under our avatars. I can't see well, so maybe they are boxes. They showed up a day or two ago. I've not figured out how they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annandatje Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 My eyes hurt from rolling them so hard. Not at you, at the thought of how this new board is allowing us to revisit a middle school popularity contest. Not everything in life needs to be rated... That said, I may have just given you 5 stars :leaving: I think that the stars are supposed to be given based upon quality or relevance of the thread content, not as a measurement of personal feelings toward other members.

Parrothead Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'm seeing 4 stars. Thank you to those who bumped my rating up. :001_wub: There must be a few people here who REALLY don't like me! Gotta get used to it at some point in life, I guess. ;) I'll bump you up as often as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Dup. Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I think you have to go to someone's profile to change their star rating. Right? I was just surprised to see that some people visited my profile just to give me a bad rating, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the last few people to visit your profile, but that doesn't necessarily mean one of them dumped your stars. Personally I see it as an act of pettiness to dump stars.

Parrothead Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 How do you see who has visited your profile? I cannot see that on my profile. Under my friends it shows my latest visitors. Maybe you need to turn that on in your settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I thought they were circles under our avatars. I can't see well, so maybe they are boxes. They showed up a day or two ago. I've not figured out how they work. My theory is that they have to do with how many posts we have. Look at I.Dup's. She has around 1900 posts and 2 dots. I have around 7000 posts and 4 dots. You have around 20,000 posts and 6 dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'll bump you up as often as I can. That's the problem I was saying earlier. It doesn't seem like you can actually give stars to someone repeatedly. It will show what you voted for them, but doesn't seem to count at all, except the first one.

Snow Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I used to be blessedwinter. I just discovered I have 3 stars. How can justamouse and Martha have more stars than me, they posted way more controversial stuff in recent threads than I did? :nopity: :p I bumped yours up after reading this post. I bumped it from 3 to 4 so not sure what happened after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristi26 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I just learned something new. :lol: I didn't even know you could do the whole "stars" thing...and then I checked my own profile and I have no stars.

If they were shiny and sparkly and pretty I'd want more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have around 7000 posts and 4 dots. You have around 20,000 posts and 6 dots. I agree with Audrey about the dots. The dots appear to correlate with the number of posts, and with the level in the Hive. Beekeeping Professors have six dots Qualified Bee Keepers have five dots Amateur Bee Keepers and Apprentice Bee Keepers have four dots Empress Bees have three dots Hive Mind Queen Bees and Hive Mind Royal Larvae have two dots Hive Mind Worker Bees and Hive Mind Level 4 Worker: Builder Bees have one dot I have noticed some Builder Bees with one dot and some with two. ETA: please let me know if I left any levels out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
