Sooo...the star ratings

firefightersgal

I didn't used to care about them, but now that my posts are almost all getting low ratings, I'm curious...

And, yes, I fully expect this post to get 1-star.

There wasn't an option for, "someone's a douche," I would have chosen that.

OMG, that is exactly what I was going to say!

I was thinking more along the lines of @sswipe

The one-star rater is a douchey asswipe

and FFG = very nice nestie

Ditto everyone above!  Then again, take what I have to say for what it's worth...everything I post gets one star, too.   I'm actually kind of amused that someone finds it worthwhile to look for my posts, open them, and rate them.

Recently my posts have been showing 2 stars.  I mean I get one star.  And then if someone 5 stars it it's 2.5 or whatever.

But just 2 stars?  it's random.

And yeah, I would guess that whoever is 1staring is the douchiest of douchebags.

My posts all get 1 starred, too.  I like to think that I have my own personal one star wonder who I single handedly annoy.

I have never rated a post, I'm not even sure what it means.  I just never think to do it.

Ditto. I don't get the one-starring, honestly.

Thanks for the feedback--good and bad.  There are at least 13 people here who rate my posts.  That is interesting.  Now, I'm curious as to what the 'other' reasons are.

i agree with someone is a douche

I read about this on another board and a lot of people were thinking that for some reasons ( I can't remember what, except one was that it's happening across boards) it is happening without people actually one starring.  Some fluke they were thinking.  Another popular thought was that the one star clicky is up top next to something they meant to click.

The One Star Wonder wants to be me.  Seriously.  She wants to wear my skin like last year's Versace.  (Thank you RHoNJ for that, I can't take credit for it.)

That's the only reason I can think for someone to stalk  my posts to one-star them.  J-E-A-L-O-U-S.

i pick other:  one star nestie is just jealous that your dh buys you laptops when deerhunting.  lol.

and you are not annoying to me so i was surprised to see that answered in the poll.

  although, i never rate anyone's post.  i see it as kind of uppity.  for example:  I like they way you worded your potty post 5 stars for you.  and you, you are a pretty skinny *** who had a bad day 1 star for you...it's the ultimate of judginess and loneliness.

so i believe nestie glitch.

I never star anyone and I don't even pay attention to it unless it is brought to my attention...like your post.  I don't care if people one star me or don't star me at all.
