5 Stars No More???

Hello,

I was just wondering - can the 'Ratings' system (the stars under our names) go down as well as up? I only ask because, until this week I was the very proud owner of 5 stars; but logging on yesterday I noticed I've gone down to 4...

Forgive the preciousness please, but why has this happened and just who would do such a terrible thing???

Yours bewilderedly...

Who did that to Baron !?! :persuazn:

And yes, if people give you a bad rating you may lose a star...

Yeah...I think the way of things is someone disagrees with you on something, clicks on your name and reduces your rating or they may just think they are rating you fairly by giving you 4 stars and thus reducing your rating . Maybe if enough people give you 5 it will go back up , but I think everyone's vote only counts once .

Either way...don't sweat it bud you're 5 stars with us .

Oh dear Baron what a travesty! What sordid person lowered your stars? Reeyo and I will go after them! :persuazn: :avada: :lullaby: :jimmy:

psshttt

it's probably an overall average of who rates them

A quadruple post.. :shock:

Oh Berno, idk what happened.

ZTO

I think it is like what Irene said, it is an overall average of your ratings. So there is still hope to regain the stars. And everyone only gets to vote once, unless you change your rating.

Thank you for that spirited defence Reeyo, Joe and Red!!!

And thank you too for the explanation, Q and PinkCouture... But I'm just about to hit that magical 1000 mark and it's a bit of a slap in the face after all those exhausting posts that I've toiled over...

What would you people have me do?

I would have you to...make a 1,000 post thread .

Baron, I think that EVERYONE here is eager to give you 5 stars, anytime you want

Hey Mods and Admins, I have a question.

Well, I know the number of stars a member gets is like an overall average rating....

But, once I was at somebody's thread, clicked 5 stars for this person, and then clicked again. I thought it would say: you can't vote twice or something, but I still could vote, so I voted a few times more but I guess, only the first voting counts, cause this person's star rating didn't grow.....

[oh well, I just realised there is no question ]

Does stars rating system is based only on members' "voting", or not only? I'm asking just because of my curiosity, I don't see a big difference wheter I have 5 or 4 stars

Lay, I think the stars you get only indicate how the other members think of you or whatever

I see those members who got 1 star only and they're still alive

Someone was probably just jealous .

I wish there was a way to automatically log who voted and what they voted .

baron...ccommon over to the 4 star table. ive got some kick arse red wine, some incredible argentinian beef

<and this is not innuendo, i mean steak>

and some witty conversation.oh look, ophelia's sitting here with me.

and we couldnt give a shit about how others rate us

im my mind, were 5 stars, all the way, baby

^Yeah, I know... I'm just very precious!

Sounds a wonderful offer - by the way.
