Has the idea of adding polls as an option to OP posts been floated out as a way to kill these star padding threads? Just a thought.

Does it actually matter is a post gets padded?

I think it does. You see a lot of subpar, barely on-topic threads started that clutter up the pages.

The blue starring phenomenon is odd. I guess people really do need their e-persona validated.

It never really worked the way it should have. Before the star button people would reward star and chute replies to posts that were creative, funny, or just plain great. Photoshop threads were a great example.

Now premium gives stars for people saying good morning and politics gives stars for saying you need to buy an extra tea or obama sucks (which he does)

It's just the way things are these days. Everyone gets stars. Everyone is special.

OP, you posted three times in this thread and were awarded ZERO stars for your efforts. #yourpostsareassmydude

I got nearly 120 blue stars on premium last night with the very well thought out post "Blue star here if you think I'm fishing for blue stars"

it seems the easiest way to post pad in premium is to jock sniff looch and just quote his posts.

Yep, this was on a thread trying to give props to Looch for saying Jimbo was going to be the next coach so early.

On the same thread, I also got 34 stars for "Blue star here if you agree with OP" and 44 stars for "Blue star here if you think OP is fishing for blue stars"

From here on out, blue star rankings are going to lose a lot of their significance. Funny how that works.

Wait...So people really care how many internet stars their posts get from complete e-strangers?
