dancingmama Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think it is how many "likes" you have received for your posts. Ooohhhhh! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann.without.an.e Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 You can't give someone 0 stars, so if you have none, that means nobody has starred you at all. The whole thing is ridiculous. And zero stars just seems so much better than 1 star....I might know that from experience, hehe. Having no stars didn't bother me at all, in fact it was very freeing. I was comfortable with my no starred self, but then someone had to go and give me a darn star. It all went downhill from there :001_rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann.without.an.e Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Oh brother, just checked and I have one star. I feel like I'm back in junior high! Not any more, thanks to your little profile star rebels. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann.without.an.e Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Can you star the same person more than once. I just keep starring with every post and I think I starred some of ya'll like 10 times :coolgleamA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just keep starring with every post and I think I starred some of ya'll like 10 times :coolgleamA: I don't think you can. You can only star people once on their profile from what I can tell, but you can also rate threads they started which affects their rating as well.

mommymilkies Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 This whole business is juvenile and ridiculous. I don't get the point of including the stars for people. Topics, maybe. Likes-pretty good idea. Rating PEOPLE? Stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, can it get anymore "Sneetchish" I think I just made up a word :thumbup1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Once upon a time I ticked someone off and they gave me 3 stars. I've been stuck there ever since. Sniff sniff. Yeah, I'm not sure how it works, because I've been stuck at 4 for months. I guess I am somewhere near the middle of making friends and making enemies? :lol: I 5 starred everyone here. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes-pretty good idea. Rating PEOPLE? Stupid. I agree. I don't even think topics/threads should be rated. I'm sure all of us regularly come across topics here that don't interest us or even annoy or offend us. So what? The best response is to ignore and move on. Not provide a "rating".

That is exactly what I have always done. If it doesn't interest me or offends me, it doesn't make it bad.....it just isn't for me. I think it is childish - whether I have 5 stars or 1 star, it doesn't matter where I am in the game, the game is just silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I dislike rating systems but thanks for the stars, ladies. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezoo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I am fairly new to this website though I have read things on and off for years. I agree with what Charlene said (about the stars and dots reminding her of the Max Lucado book, You Are Special, but I don't know how to add her post on here. Can someone help me with that? Also, how do you give someone stars? I'm a seasoned homeschooling mom but all this new technology stuff is easier for my kids than for me! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Elliot Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I've wondered for a long time why the moderators leave the star feature there. Couldn't they remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
