What did I misinterpret? Perhaps it was a reminder to put the lid back on the biscuit tin properly next time? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257&page=2#post-22692 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:10:34 +0000 la maga 22692@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yep, I've had a ticker or two from things that weren't starred (or not until after the ticker went up).

At least have the confidence in what you have written to rise or fall whatever. Otherwise, why bother? But do email lots of friends with a picture of a puppy and tell them you will drown it if they don't vote for you. Even better if you have pictures of them in a compromising position with the puppy. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22441 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 22:17:37 +0000 hero2zero 22441@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I suspect no stars really means it died a natural death, bury it! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22432 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:26:06 +0000 Mr Target 22432@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I think it's better to get no stars than one star. People only ever give one star if it is a pretty ropey sub. No stars often means your sub was made during a busy spell, and slipped through the net. One star means they thought it was poor enough to log in and say it was poor.<br /> Try bumping it later on, but not too obviously. Maybe add a follow-up line, or correct a grammatical error...<br /> ...if it still doesn't grab people's attention, then slink off and write another one... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22430 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:21:51 +0000 Doctor Moptop 22430@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>1 star at least means it's been read. </p> <p>A 'no comment' is more dispiriting.</p> <p>*Counts up long list of no commented subs and lies in front of electric fan oven*</p> <p>(It's a symbolic gesture, okay?) </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22428 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:11:51 +0000 hero2zero 22428@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I suppose that means no stars means, SHIT!

Thompson 22390@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I rather liked the 1 fairy, who periodically went through adding 1 point which reduced the average. I have since formed an educated theory as to precisely which of you this was. Haven't seen them round for a couple of days, actually. Outbursts of One Fairyiness were always accompanied by unformatted, maudlin maunderings.</p> <p>I wasn't above dishing it out, either, to One Fairy suspects. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22359 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 07:03:30 +0000 hero2zero 22359@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I post here because I enjoy it and for what its worth if I make myself chuckle. To me the stars show me that somebody else chuckled (I hope), I still intend to do so with or without any stars, in hope! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22357 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 06:39:51 +0000 sauce 22357@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hey, great to see a thread about marking make a come-back. </p> <p>I'm with Stan on marking others: I only award points if it's FP standard (and, just occasionally, if it really irks). And I don't award myself any points. But I might take up Rick's devious design and give myself five stars after a respectable passage of time. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22356 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 06:04:08 +0000 hero2zero 22356@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Cheers! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22339 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 22:14:10 +0000 Stan Laurel 22339@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>h2z, think it works like this. </p> <p>If I see a piece I like, I generally dish out 5 stars. If I don't like it, I tend just not to vote for it at all. Seems churlish somehow to give intermediate marks.</p> <p>On rare occasions, when I find a piece offensive or plagiarised, I award 1 point, 'cos I'm like that. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22337 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:51:24 +0000 hero2zero 22337@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm new here, I wondered how so many got so many stars </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22309 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 13:07:38 +0000 The All New Jeni B 22309@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Just have a few fingers or something Mary, in fact, I believe there may be some bite-sized morsels of Moat available at the Rothbury Riverside Cafe. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=8257#post-22308 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 13:05:46 +0000 Mary Evans 22308@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ah then we'll never find you MB!
