Serial Rater

[Love Life]

Who is the one going around and rating dang near EVERY thread with a poor rating? Just to let you know, but I have been rating every thread that is rated poor as rated excellent to make them all 3 star threads.

[starmac]

What is this one rated at. lol

[Love Life]

I rated it at 5 stars.

[jmort]

I noticed a seller's thread rated poorly and for sure there was no good reason, so I did the same thing and got it to a four. I am sure it was a competitor who will remain nameless, but the name would be no surprise. Is this a recent trend? As my prime suspect was "unavailable" until recently.

[John Allen]

Well, I know it wasn't me as until now I did not even know you could rate a thread!

[cbrick]

I rarely look at the stars rating but I just now looked at several in a few different forums and didn't see any 1 star ratings. But dang, it would only let me vote once in this thread. :mrgreen:

[btroj]

Oops, this one is now 4 stars. My bad

[Love Life]

It appears as if it is a current trend. We went from minimal thread rating, to massive thread rating in the last month or so. Especially in Our Town...

[Riverpigusmc]

Last thing I rated was my second wife. Never rated a thread before

[btroj]

I don't ever rate threads. Heck, I don't even look at the ratings. Makes me a one star rater I suppose.

I suppose this was bound to happen sooner or rater......

[texassako]

I noticed several threads I was interested in had 1 star ratings. Kind of wondered why someone was doing it, but ignored it and read them anyway. Does the thread rating system do anything here?

[Swamp Man]

Some people have nothing better to do so they rate threads.

[GaryN]

Well, I know it wasn't me as until now I did not even know you could rate a thread!

Same here. I guess I need to pay more attention.

[Idaho Mule]

Who here is the Master-rater?? JW

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

Rate ? WTH ?

My ex-girlfriend said I was second rate ?

[Love Life]

I started rating threads recently (last week or two) to counteract the serial rater. Remember, he's lurking and watching....

[garym1a2]

me neigther, now I doAAA+

Same here. I guess I need to pay more attention.

[starmac]

I have noticed the stars, but didn't know how they got there.

[btroj]

Starmac, it starts with a large cloud of gas which condenses together due to gravity. At some point the pressure and heat internally becomes high enough to set off a fusion reaction. This gives off heat and light, a star is born.

That is what you meant, wasn't it?

Always thought that was flatulence

[Bzcraig]

HAW! I am now a rater!

[Love Life]

Never trust a fart.

[Bzcraig]

Never trust a fart.

One of life after 50's first lessons!

[btroj]

Never trust a fart.

Does age matter?

Are you saying not to trust old farts?

[Love Life]

Age does not matter. Never trust a fart.

[Bzcraig]

Does age matter?

Are you saying not to trust old farts?

Dang, I hadn't thought of that, okay now I'm offended!

[btroj]

My father in law isn't gonna like that.

I will most likely continue to trust him, he is a dry old fart. Known him long enough to know there is no substance, just hot air with him.

[Love Life]

Old farts are stale and slow you down when executing tactical urban operations.

[Sweetpea]

Yeah, but for some SRP, you can... Send it!

[btroj]

Old farts are stale and slow you down when executing tactical urban operations.

The one I am speaking of slows you down watching TV!

[Love Life]

Now that's bad.

[btroj]

I sure hope 1shirt doesn't see this

[Love Life]

I hope he does see it.

[btroj]

Eh, he won't remember it for long anyway. Besides, his wife likes me, his daughter loves me, and I am the biggest influence on his one grandchild. I have leverage.

[Love Life]

That's low, but well played.

[btroj]

I am willing to stoop to levels most don't know exist. If I was any lower I would be a democrat

[Love Life]

That's not just low, but that's fecal matter.

[btroj]

I avoid going that low, except with family. With family, everything is fair game.

I am lucky to have good inlaws. Makes life much easier. I chose well.

[Love Life]

My inlaws fear my wrath (just don't tell them I said that)!! Seriously though, good inlaws make life easy. It's even easier when the father is an electrician and all around competent jack of all trades.

[smoked turkey]

..."HAW! I am now a rater!"

Now I am too. I am slow I admit. I didn't know how and didn't even know such a thing existed until now. In fact I really didn't care. I scan the various topics and some appeal to me and some don't. I don't figure anyone cares what I think of a thread. Any way I rated this at five stars because I think it deserves it!

[Bored1]

I sure hope 1shirt doesn't see this

This could get interesting!!!!

[Love Life]

Did ya'll here about Doe Run?

[starmac]

Isn't Doe run some sort of lead alloy or brand maybe??

[Love Life]

Naw. Doe run when you make noise.

[Bored1]

Ya, it closed didn't it? Last lead smelter in the country right?

[Love Life]

In the galaxy.

[leeggen]

Old Farts and commercial lead smelters will someday be the thing of the past. Then you young whipper snappers will become "the old fart smelters".

Finally, the voice of reason!

[starmac]

How do you derate a thread? This one is gettin purty deep in smellin sauce.

[jonp]

Well, I know it wasn't me as until now I did not even know you could rate a thread!

Your not the only one. Until this thread I wondered where the gold stars camefrom

[jonp]

Did ya'll here about Doe Run?

Quite a while ago. The company said it would cost too much to comply with EPA mandates and the EPA said the company could but they were too greedy.

[Garyshome]

This is the first time I ever rated a thread! Watch out now!http://castboolits.gunloads.com/images/smilies/customs/2%20drunk%20buddies.gif




I can only be distracted if I let them distract me! I can only be lied to if I let them lie to me!

Maybe we could get Discovery to make a new series now...

Thread ratings, one more thing I can't see using TapaTalk. Dodged another bullet ;)

[rattletrap1970]

I didn't even know you COULD rate stuff.

[btroj]

So, how do you guys rate rating?

I give it 1/2 star at best.

[472x1B/A]

This for sure should be a 6 star rated thread.

[Pb2au]

50% of the time I would rate rating over rated.

[KYCaster]

I rate this thread PG13 for language and low-brow humor! :groner:

I'm a smart feller and I'm a feller smart.....say that three times real fast.

Always thought that was flatulence

The stars you see that originate in flatulence are the ones that appear right after you produce a quiet but deadly when you are walking close to your wife and people around start to look at her!!!

[376Steyr]

Serial rater? Well, I like Shredded Wheat better than Wheaties better than Corn Flakes...

[Harter66]

This thread is a gas...........

Ratings are over rated as the rating system is subjectively rated.

All the really best rated are in the stickies anyway.

[montana_charlie]

If I notice how a thread is rated, it's accidental. I certainly don't let it influence my own estimation of the topic, or what people have to say about it.

Exactly

[jcwit]

Wasn't even aware one could rate a thread.

[btroj]

Why can't we rate the Mods?

[Love Life]

^^^^That might not be fun.

[btroj]

It would be fun until the ban slapped you in the face.

[cbrick]

Why can't we rate the Mods?

Because they are sensitive?

Rick

[jcwit]

Overall I'd say they "the mods" are pretty cool, even when I'm at my worst!

[Idaho Mule]

I can't help it. This thread is way over rated. You guys just wait until Mashed Rater, Sliced Rater, Fried Rater, and their other brother Rater Rater shows up!!!! JW

[dragon813gt]

Why can't we rate the Mods?

You're able to on the one forum I frequent. You can rate all members. The only one who has a positive rating is the forum owner :laugh:

[btroj]

Yeah, I am sure I wouldn't have 3 stars......

[Love Life]

I'd create shill profiles and rate myself a 24. Boom.

[Sweetpea]

I think you missed the decimal... 2.4?:)

[jonp]

Serial rater? Well, I like Shredded Wheat better than Wheaties better than Corn Flakes...

Being a serial rater is betterthan being a master debater.

[300savage]

i gave this thread a one as i feel it is grossly over rated.
it did take me a while to find out how, but now i think im hooked.. how did i live before without this power ??

[Love Life]

I think you missed the decimal... 2.4?:)

Better than being negative!! I'm a glass half full kind of guy.

[s mac]

After all this I still don't now how to rate a thread, like it matters.

[jmort]

Top right corner of thread: "Rate This Thread" - Drop-down menu 1 to 5 stars/asterisks

[Love Life]

I have also rated cereal. I still prefer Kix after all of these years.

[mikeym1a]

I only rate threads when the seams let go. :(

[dragon813gt]

I have also rated cereal. I still prefer Kix after all of these years.

Frosted Flakes or GTFO ;)

[MTtimberline]

What is the point of rating threads anyway?

[BNE]

Starmac, it starts with a large cloud of gas which condenses together due to gravity. At some point the pressure and heat internally becomes high enough to set off a fusion reaction. This gives off heat and light, a star is born.

That is what you meant, wasn't it?

You guys must be bored! Until I read this, I never even noticed the whole rating thing.

[btroj]

Well, it was a high of 16 today, breezy, windchill around zero.

Call it cabin fever?

[dragon813gt]

Call it cabin fever?

It was 55, foggy and raining today at my hunting cabin. One day stuck inside is enough for me :banghead:

[RogerDat]

I think this whole rating thing is overrated, but am willing to rate any thread 5 stars where the poster meets my going rate for bribes. Paypal or Major Credit card only, since I don't know your credit rating I won't take a check. Well maybe a bag of gas checks for .303 British.
