Thread rating

[Von Earlmann]

Is there any rationale behind this? Seemingly not.
Take the front page. Three five-goldstar threads. One of these is a discussion around a single scenario ...important and interesting stuff, but not uncommon. One of my occasional whinings about the MB rates 5 in the gold. Objectively, I would indded rate my thread as 5, but only if the ratings were measured not in stars but in dog turds. And there is one which pertains to a very important announcement..see below
Go down a bit, we see the regular update on the biggest tourney in the club's history (as I recall)..but only four gold stars
Further yet.....Mike Amos's release of a whole new game. What does the thread get??? Five grey stars, people. For the most important happening in quite a while, the event itself rates nothing special.
Beats the sh*t outta me.

Sort of reminds me of the political polls of which there seems to be a plethora...........no one actually pays them any mind :-)
