My star rating has droped the last few days. Sad part is I don't know why. I'm not even sure how to see my star except to look at something I've posted. Wouldn't It be nice to know which posts affected your rating?
I can only guess some of my sarcastic replies to someone who was just copying pages from their science book and calling it a discussion caused it. Would you feel an explanation of the lunar phases a good topic when it was just copied out of a book? I didn't. Then they used the next paragraph as their next topic, how lame...
How do you feel about the star ratings? Have any suggestions about them?

I wouldn't worry about the rating thing. As far as I'm concerned, it's a joke. All it takes is for one person to get pissed off at you for not agreeing with them, and your rating drops. They shouldn't have done it that way. The only people that should be getting lower ratings are the ones that respond with the stupid-Um duh, I don't know the answer to your question.- Just trying to raise their points/money up. I saw your response to a gal about a 5 gal fish tank, she really ripped into you for some reason, can't say you sounded out of line or rude at all. So, like I said, don't worry about it.

LOL I read what she wrote, and thought my God...where did that come from? Think she forgot her meds that day, she's definitely out there lol. I really kinda thought she was going to rip me too, kinda disappointed she didn't :) I was laughing reading her responses, she has no clue. I thought that was the person you were referring to when you posted this, then I reread what you wrote after I typed in my response(I'm bad about just skimming through at first), sorry I really didn't mean to be a sh*t starter lol.
But yes, I agree, I wish there was a way to go back and check. I usually forget about them unless it pops up on my responded lists.

Oh , I'm sure she added to my stars decline. Seems odd, she seems to know EVERYTHING about fish and yet she's posting a question about them.
I was trying to be nice and warn her so she could consider another course. Some people just wanna ignore the big BRIDGE OUT sign I guess. I didn't bother responding to her further, you pretty much said everything I would have in my reply. The other fish might all "live" but that dosen't mean they'll be happy and healthy.
Wish I could cut and paste so I could put those other discussions I was refering to on here so you could see how stupid they were.
Thks again
P.S. here comes some more star power for you.

Perhaps you upset someone who rated your response as a '-'
This has happened to me - I got rated down just because I disagreed with the person who posted the discussion. Don't worry about it. Stick to your friends discussions and you will soon be rated up again.
