So who one-starred everything?

[monkeyfish]

Newcomers are going to show up to the forums and think, "Wow, these topics all suck, I'm outta here!"

they probably do :p

[Meatwad555]

Someone was bored.

[Cpt. Overkill]

People actually look at the ratings?

[monkeyfish]

I don't look at them primarily, but it was kinda hard not to notice almost every thread being rated.

[back_blows]

This is why we can't have nice things...

*1 stars this thread*

[Der_Lex]

This reminds me of when we had tags, albeit a lot less annoying. I actually think it's very pretty in a minimalist kind of way.

[Soratar]

I didn't know what this thread was talking about, until I actually looked the thread ratings. :o

[Banky71]

Make better threads.

[afterstasis]

Make better threads.

or i will keep one-starring everything.

[Banky71]

or i will keep one-starring everything.

Well deservedly!

[Lawdog1521]

One is good though right? Like, "We're number 1!"

[Joey-Z]

So tell me, why is it saying that I've already rated this thread?

[DrumStix]

or i will keep one-starring everything.

:0

[Lawdog1521]

Early Warning Rating Technology or EWRT. E-WaRT as it’s nicknamed can tell what threads you’ll like and which ones you find to be rubbish.

[tridentgum0]

I one-starred Silver on Easy Drums.

[afterstasis]

i one-starred der_lex in a sleazy casino.

[16BitAlex]

So tell me, why is it saying that I've already rated this thread?
So it's not just me.

Doesn't work. I don't like the Official NBA Discussion, 5-starred, and I like the Real Guitar Section, 1-starred.

[Lawdog1521]

Doesn't work.

Or does it? Or does it? Dun Dun Dunnnnnn

[Joey-Z]

So it's not just me.


I smell shenanigans!

[Happy Dragon]

So tell me, why is it saying that I've already rated this thread?


So it's not just me.

Holy crap! I thought I was the only one having this issue. :eek:

[rammetal7]

when it becomes it one star it might have the glitch that prevents anyone from rating it, luckily one of my threads which had it is now a healthy 2 star thread.

[HeyRiles]

Renrock eats boogers

[bmaninc]

Tags weren't annoying, they were fun.

Then Bood got banned for writing Renrock eats boogers. Woooow.

I got ninja'd by over an hour.

[Soja]

Tags were epic, bring them back. :(

[animemetalhead]

Sadly, I missed the days of tags, so I don't really know what I'm missing out on.

[gosox333]

Tags were amazing.

I don't know what they were expecting when they first added them. Tag abuse was inevitable, just like with literally every other forum that has them. Those guys still seem to get by, somehow...

[SomethingWithPeaches]

I thought you meant 1-starring every rock band song.

[Soja]

Tags were short descriptions that were supposed to be like bookmarks for the search engine. Basically, if you added the tag "dlc" to a thread about DLC, you could use the search function to find all threads that were tagged with "dlc."

That was the theory, anyhow.

In reality, it was the ultimate vehicle for forum sniping. At least to other regular users, there was complete anonymity, so it was mostly used for sneering one- or two-worders. There must have been no less than 400 threads tagged with "whaaaaaambulance."

Those were some fantastic times. There were occasions when I just burst out laughing, incapacitated for minutes on end, for some of the tags people put. It was truly a contest among the sarcastic wits of the community.

But it was removed. :( Apples giveth, and Apples taketh away.

[sillystou]

Yeah... What's up with the "you already voted on this thread" crap? It's not the 1st time this has happened to me. :(

[Soratar]

Tags were funny, but also annoying. It was really annoying to see a tag like, "[][][][][][][][][][]<=look at mah blockzzz"

[monkeyfish]

I preferred embedding videos, myself. Tags were fun and all but like Sarotar above says, it was also used for stupidity that wasn't even funny. It was sort of a little version of /b/ within the forums.

:rolleyes:

Embedding videos was cool. I wasn't a member at the time, so I never saw it being abused.

[kiggidykev]

This is why we can't have nice things

Oh wait, someone already said that

[16BitAlex]

Tags were a good time. I probably went around tagging all the Wii issue threads "Nintendo Hates Gamers". But really, only mods should be able to tag, so that tagging is used for its intended use: to make searching easier and better.

[Mega-Tallica]

I'll admit, it was me, that's why I didn't post at all yesterday because I was too busy one-starring everything. :p

[sillystou]

Well, that surely explains it! Thanks for clearing this up Mega-Tallica! :p

[16BitAlex]

or i will keep one-starring everything.

So which of you is it?

[monkeyfish]

Whoever it is, it's actually kind of annoying now. Lex, track down and ban the culprit(s)!

[gosox333]

Thatherton......

[sillystou]

Well, first they should fix the "you have already voted" problem. Then maybe we could fix the 1 star problem...

[afterstasis]

we should fix the bad thread problem and then the rest will be gravy.

[back_blows]

An auto-delete function would be gravy.

[monkeyfish]

Wasn't there a system in place that made it a five-vote minimum until a thread was given an average rating?

[afterstasis]

An auto-delete function would be gravy.

at least an auto-ignore would be cool, like any thread that has "muse" or "football" or "leather daddy" in the title simply wouldn't show up on my screen.

[afterstasis]

it would also be nifty if any threads made about "ru paul" or "dinner rolls" could get auto-stickied on my screen.

[back_blows]

They ought to have an auto-delete function for double posts as well.

[afterstasis]

They ought to have an auto-delete function for double posts as well.

does no one understand the comedic artistry behind my double posts?

[16BitAlex]

Actually, I'm with afterstasis on this. Sometimes I take forever to post, get ninja'd, and then find something quotable in the ninja post.

[back_blows]

Damn you people and your deficient sarcasm detectors. Gawd!!

[Goatbuster]

Thatherton......
I had to laugh at this.
