Stars/Rating system?

[Anonymous]

I have only recently come back to this site and found that it is changed (for the better?!). One thing I am not clear on, why/what are the stars for? A rating system, obviously but how does it work. I am sure this is answered in FAQs or something but I am just that lazy.

You can use the stars to rate individual messages and/or posters. Since most posts are by "anonymous" you can't really rate those posters. Virtually nobody is using the rating system, but I wish they would.

To use it, just choose the rating from the dropdown menu.
