Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 7 Mar 11

Don' t you get frustrated by seeing your star rating fix at 8?

sanuanu @sanuanu (11235) • India 22 Feb 09

madebyrobyn I bet that it is frustrating! I do remember being stuck on the 8 rating for sometime too - I wonder why there is a lull.... maybe it is because the people that have been rating you thus far think you are going really well and you no longer need their votes of...
