I am plus and minused.  Who's rating?  On what grading system?  To what end?  Can someone please explain the rating of individual posters.

Thanks.

It's really rather stupid, but just something within the BB abilities.

Anyone can click on the + or - sign of the poster to give a + or -.  Rather subjective and not really of any merit but, oh well.  At least as it stands right now 2 positive clicks have been given to you and no negative clicks. Grin

     I personally have never used it, as it seems entirely subjective & could give a wrong impression.  Some readers of my posts apparently feel otherwise.  C'est la vie!

Well Al, you do sugar coat a lot.  That could explain some of the clicks you get.

So then, it's not like measuring your value before God by stupid standards like, whether you're asked to be a 'worker' or not.  

Or, we could make a deal : you click me and I click you.  

Or, Al... have you been giving YOURSELF clicks?  

Only the Lord really knows eh?

Actually, if you start asking people if they'd like to be a worker or something, you will certainly get clicked! Just on the wrong side of the number line! Grin

     Only those to the left of the slash. Wink

No one uses it anymore.  However, there was a time when we were having big verbal wars on the BB, and the Assembly apoligists were giving Verne and myself negative points every chance they could.  They would log on multiple times per day, and click us a negative.

I don't like the rating system, but only in the sense that I don't like wintergreen as much as spearmint.  In other words, it's no big deal, and probably most of us ignore it anyways.

You seem to be doing well, Delila.  I would like to invite you into the inner circle, along with a few of us.  You will need to make a committment to post often, and the content of your posts must not damage the testimony of the BB...... Roll Eyes

Marcia:

You should get + clicks just for your penguins.  I sometimes catch myself zoning out just watching them.  It's probably theraputic

Al:
You REALLY DO give yourself negative clicks don't you?  That's sick, very assembly like actually.  And, according to my research, you have that in common with many ancient Catholics, like Martin Luther

Actually, the ancient catholics used to hit themselves over the head with boards. Giving yourself negative clicks is a lot safer and less painful. Besides, giving yourself negative clicks makes you more humble--at least that's what I've heard.

false humility, I think.  When we put ourselves down in public we are waiting for someone else to tip the scales the other way in our defense.  Not, of course that Al does that.  No siree.
That Al,
Dear Brother though. Kiss

Okay, so now we've got the + and - clicks figured (with little mystery left to discuss there)

How's about the starts.  How did we get ourselves stars?

Now we know about those star-bellied Sneeches, don't we?  The star bellied sneeches are the best on the beaches.  (The workers I guess)  They wouldn't invite those without stars to their frankfurter parties.  A sad story.  Dr Suess.  Anybody read it?  Should be on our rec reading page.  I hereby reccomend it.  Sneeches: by Dr Suess.

Now, what do our stars mean?

Once you reach a certain number of posts (every 50 or every 100 or so), your "title" changes. For instance from Up and Coming Poster to Full Time Poster. I think the number of stars changes with your title as well.

Personally, I liked the titles we had before the conversion better. Wink

In fact, I think Brian should let me and Joe and whoever else come up with some new titles. That would be cool. Whaddya say, B? Grin

Hope that helps.

Yikes, you mean we've been converted again and I didn't know?  I'm really in a mess.

I think I know the answer to this one, but most of us "full time posters" have 5 stars.  But BRENT not only has 5 stars, HIS ARE BIGGER THAN THE REST OF US.  As my kids would say, "Was up with that?" Wink Grin Grin
