It’s apparent that they indicate a better than average post. Just curious where they come from. They must be subjective. I searched and there were 51 pages I only went a few.
It all comes down to weather or not someone likes a particular post. The rating may or may not reflect the the usefulness of a post to the reader. I gave this a 5 star just because I can. [swg]
I must admit that I never paid a bit of attention to those stars until someone started this read. Apparently, the rating is totally subjective.
They rate the threads by the users. At least that was the intent of the owners. Perhaps in some other forums, they really are useful, but there is a group of a few that rarely post anything here, but often log on just to down grade posts from people they have issues with. I know…childish, but so be it. I don’t pay much attention to them.
