Who cares about the rating anywho??
Does the rating affect what you read?
"Oh this got 5 stars it must be true!"
"This only got one star so it must be bullshit!"

I don't even notice the rating.

it's not the ratings themselves that annoy me so much as the fact that people are using that function of the site simply to try to make people feel bad about their threads. it's insanely childish.

maybe they do it just to see if people get really upset about something that means nothing?

Why would someone feel bad about their thread when this person is giving EVERYone a one-star rating? I mean, I'm a little sensitive, don't get me wrong, but I don't see why anyone should take real offense at this person's chronic star diddling.

Ohhh... That's jacked up and petty--oh, yeah, and childish! Good grief! Methinks somebody needs a time out. Or maybe a few extra play dates?

i agree with you, definately, and to be honest i am desensitized to it, because it happens so often lately. more than anything, i am just mystified by the person who is doing it... if they are doing it out of spite, then they really need some joy in their lives. if they think it's funny... well, then again, they seriously ned some joy in their lives.

and even not counting the one-starrer, i just think the rating system is a bad idea. it puts this silly popularity contest spin on everything, saying this thread is more important than this one.

Do people REALLY care about stuff like that here? (Maybe it's 'cause I'm old and I don't give a f*ck.) This is Prince.org. Where's that old school philosophy?

I don't care 2 win awards
All I wanna do is dance (Yeah)
Play music, sex, romance
And try my best 2 never get bored (Oh)
If U feel alright, let me hear U scream!
