I recently responded to a person to whom has been here for over four years (wishes to leave) and is fed up with the way fights and other disagreements occur here. I suppose that saying fights or disagreements really isn't why the person left, maybe the reoccurence of the same gripes here on mylot would be a better way to describe why the person left here.
I came across this interest and thought about those who do not like their star because the system of rating is biased in that anyone who doesn't like you can negative away, so as to bring this interest to those people's attentions I decided to post in it.
Do you hate your star and want to get rid of it?
The discussion that was in this interest category, was started a year ago. I went and added the interest myself so that I could post it and when I did the discussion from a year a go did not show up... So if the person who's been here four years has gripes about the way things go here, and the person from a year ago has gripes about the star, what can we do to improve mylot?

My discussion in this interest was about people not really liking the star. I understand that you don't know what the star means. Well, let me explain it to you, the star is directly related to the rating system which is the plus or minus at the side of a discussion, response or comment. I can not rate myself, but you however can, just like you can't rate yourself but I can. A person is supposed to rate based on content of the discussion and not be biased by rating because of whether they like or dislike said content. However, it seems that more people have rated because of liking or disliking the discussion then anything else. I haven't heard complaints of the star rating in a while though, so maybe they've stopped worrying about it, or it's gotten better. I have no complaints!
