PLD Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ironic isn't it that some of the most 'liked' postings on the entire forum are in this thread Chaps, I think we've invented a new sort of internet pest - the 'thank whore'...

halfwit Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 You've got more than me then, I haven't got any. What do stars signify? Andi They mean that someone has looked on your profile and given you a rating out of five. Doesn't mean that you're great or worthless, just that someone somewhere likes you enough to make the effort to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you automatically get a star for a post when five "likes" have been logged up? When I got a gold star for one of mine, I couldn't wait to run home and show it to me Mam!

Baby Deltic Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 You need to get some gold stars on your profile aswell to get on in the world, I'm afraid. I've got 1000 odd likes and I'm 'Johnny no stars'. Looks like I'll be stuck on the drive through for a while yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 1, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2012 They mean that someone has looked on your profile and given you a rating out of five. Doesn't mean that you're great or worthless, just that someone somewhere likes you enough to make the effort to do that. I had a look on your profile, halfwit, and really couldn't see where to "rate" you. That said, I have to admit the speed of BabyDeltic's "promotion" to multiple stars - entirely deserved as I believe it to be, of course! - reeks of someone sitting in a backroom going slowly through profiles and awarding gongs as he/she goes. It's a kind of Creeping Oscars, really. I'm sure we'll be told. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady_Ava_Hay Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Way back in 2009 I started a thread about a new language and it occurs to me that we need a word for people who are canvassing for 'likes' and 'stars' so they can glow in the warmth that someone, apart from their Mam, thinks enough of there missives to award them these accolades. Suggestions are sought and I will start the ball rolling with 'starlickhoe' which is 'star' 'like' and 'whore' suitably engineered to be less offensive on this, a public site and before the watershed.

Baby Deltic Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I wonder who (apart from Andy) has the most viewed profile. I currently have just under 4,400. Does that trump five gold stars? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
