Please would someone explain, in simple terms, zhis iniquitous starring system.

[sara3]

[bigmamma]

[sara3]

[sqad617]

[sqad617]

BM..you have all missed my point....I think?
Yesterday, bobbisox (Joy) posted a question re. MJ free zone and songs with the elements wind , rain ...ect.

Yogi replies with 4 songs of MJ none of which contain the elements.

Joy gives 3stars...surely making a mockery of the star system.

[MWB]

Joy gives out stars to EVERYONE!

Regardless.

Therefore it means nothing.

[sqad617]

MWB...that is my point....thanks.

[bigmamma]

........oh .....yes hun , I 've probably not understood your question , so it was Joys thread and she gave 3 stars to yogi ...is that right ?

[sqad617]

BM....correct.....look at yesterdays NEWS."An MJ free-zone"

look at the question and then look at yogi's answer.

???????????/3 starred.

[MWB]

I am a clever MWB!

:)

[bigmamma]

Oh I see , so you thinkgiving stars to everyone means nothing , I do think before giving mine , and anything from 1 to 3 and , as I said , to acknowledge that I have read and digested your answer , and have appreciated you taking the time to post . That's just me though , obviously some people don't do stars and that's ok too :-) xxx

[bigmamma]

Hee , yes sqad , maybe Joy's got a soft spot for yogi , favouritism like :-)

[sqad617]

BM.........yeah!......of course......you're right.

[MWB]

The point is, Joy gives stars to EVERYONE.

Not just Yogi - EVERYONE!

[bigmamma]

No sqad honey , what's right for me doesn't make me right , each to his own sweets xxx

[MWB]

I have a soft spot for Yogi.

I like him very much. Funny, pleasant & interesting.

AND he is smarter than the average bear!

[sqad617]

MWB...I agree....I like them both.......but THAT starring?????
totally bizarre.

Unfortunately starring IS very abritary,it all depends on how the person posting the question perceives the answer/s.
Personally,I always give at least one star(for just bothering to reply,unless its abusive) and then up to 4 stars depending on the quality of the answer.
I have often posted answers with several links and much information and not received ONEstar,and other persons answering have got 4!
I tend to ingone the star system now,it doesn't really mean anything.
I am only concerned that I gove the poster the correct information,and information that will be of use to them.
Don't take it to heart,it's not personal!
