fizzle Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 catnip, i dont think the majority of members even know about the stars.. until reading your post! lmao and now we know who steals stars... i didnt even know about how they worked until uvp made a post about them about a month ago. its all his fault. lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uvp Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Me, I don't take stars away from anyone for their opinions. I would maybe take one away for out and out flaming. In fact, I feel the stars are there to REWARD people for good behavior, and that's what I use them for. But it doesn't seem that everyone feels that way.... you have four stars . whats the problem? somefolks have less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catniptoy Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The stars are right under your name. Usually, people give you stars to compliment you on a great post, or for transcribing, or something like that. To the right on your profile, you can see who your most recent visitors are, and you can tell who has been on your profile. A handy thing, really.

uvp Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 i have been moving on up in stars. it shows how the really good folks of mortys get rewarded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumblonde Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I would like to see the whole stars rating system removed from Morty's. No other site I frequent has a rating system for posters & I think, as you said catnip, it just allows for people to be spiteful & serves no real purpose. Today I have 4 stars but it fluctuated recently because I said something someone didn't. While the stars don't really mean a whole lot to me I still think they are a bad idea & should go. Just my humble opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catniptoy Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Not me, Fizzle! I don't steal stars from anyone. I might in the future if someone out and out flames someone else, but I haven't seen that yet. There are all sorts of cool features on the profile menu. People can leave you comments that everyone else can see, and so far they've been very positive and it's been nice. So, I think everyone should get familiar with how their profile works, and enjoy it. Morty went out of his way to give us this really nice board that is more elaborate than most I've seen, so I have been looking into how it works. In the process, of course, I noticed comments that I had five stars, and so I found out about the stars. And then when I posted a differing opinion, I noticed one star had gone away, and I read posts (more people talk about it than you might think) from people saying that it takes more than one click to take away a star. And then I took notice of who had visited my page lately, and saw some people with zero posts. Really, I feel honored that anyone would take the time to sign up (again?) just to take away my star. I wouldn't have brought it up at all, but people were saying how they were sick of being accused of being in cliques, so I thought I'd mention it. Edited to add: I agree with you, Dumblonde. I don't like the stars being there at all. All sarcasm from me aside, it is unfortunately an opportunity for people to be cruel, as much as it is an opportunity to reward people for good behavior or for being helpful.

Mimi Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I feel the producers of the show have this idea that they have to do something to make the show more interesting each season - not for us, the die-hard fans of the show, but for the 'average' tv viewer. - georgectv This is evident in the first 10 minutes of EVERY episode. I can practically not hit my DVD Record button for the first segment b/c i know it's going to be re-rehash of what happened the prior episode, that I practically have memorized. It's to update these "new viewers" that are supposedly tuning in to the show for the 1st time, or who have missed episodes. No respect for the majority of the viewers who are the loyal BB fan. I feel like I'm not their target audience. P.S. I thought DumBlonde was smart too... until I saw she misspelled her name once: DimBlonde. hmmmmm..... (TRUE story!)

dumblonde Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I love all the other features mentioned like seeing who last visited & the comments but the stars should go. If someone wants to say/do something bad they should have the guts to leave a comment rather than an anonymous 1-star rating heehee mimi, dimblonde was a good typo. I almost did another one this week when I was posting my Dick comment & it woulda been another funny but dirty one but lucklily I caught it before I hit send Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yath Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 What are the cliques that people have been talking about? I'm honestly not aware of any. I think everyone here is really welcoming, and I can't imagine who would be removing a star from someone based on a difference of opinion. I think we all welcome differing opinions---if we all agreed on everything, it would be pretty boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayo Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 What is average? I'm average, because I'm me, and all the people around me are like me(for the most part) Maybe the problem with the producers is that they have been in Hollywood and auditioning actors for these shows too long, and their take on what is average has become skewed away from reality. good point and good post, Georgectv...and I agree!
