If I gave one star for every dollar ive made,and retract one for every loss you guys would still have plenty of stars.

I think you should be able to rate your self! I would give my self some stars.

rookies tend to over rate stars. maybe they just want a quick answer and read into messages way too much instead of doing DD. in the biginning i was guilty of that.

Even by doing that, there is still no guarantee.
The star system is for show IMO, it's just too bad that the newbies don't see it as that.
In that case, I have been here the longest out of everyone in this trend (4-2002). Old name was "Bill2Drunk". (forgot password and have new email).
Star ratings do play a part in how I judge someone....but when they joined and how many posts they make plays a huge factor. Some of you have nothing to do but make POSTS....Obviously in most cases. I commented on a stock pick and got 3 votes of 1 star even though I was 100% correct. People here get pissy and give others 1 star votes if they feel that they don't agree or just don't like the name. A catchy name or a picture can do wonders....JELLY added her picture to her profile and now you guys a DROOLING....LOL...(no offence Jelly). She has been on this site for less than 6 months and she is mentioned as one of the GREATS. I think track record is the best way to tell who is BS and who isn't. Lately I have noticed a flood of NEWBIES here pumping/bashing...etc here and its too the point that I don't want to even read any of the posts.....especially under Stocks Under $0.10.
Stars are good but I would love to see who rates who what....maybe be able to click your profile and see....if you click your profile you can see who you rated anyways....why not the opposite?????

Since being around as long as I have, which isn't long at all compared to good ole Tex , I've come to trust some and understand others. And some just aren't worth piss....
If your a newbie you'll come to understand what I mean after a while. Then you'll become successful by watching and learning from those that do make money.

I have to agree that the rating should be based on many factors like was stated earlier by Dustoff. Performance DD Honesty and would add helpfulness.
There are many here who really try to help newbies and others that have no time or inclination to be helpful. Shoot if it wasn't for a few people here I would have lost everything and gone on to something else. I'm glad I'm still around. Learning all the time. Stars, I don't need no stinkin stars. I do however use them at times to look deeper into a particular poster. If he/she has 5 stars, I'll dig a bit deeper and see why. It's a frame of reference but only to dig deeper just like the stocks I play. Might use a scan and chart to find them but that just starts me diggin deeper.

Cool. I'm glad you guys brought up the issue of the peer rating system. I think it's very flat -- the stars can be used to gauge a user's popularity, that's about it.
