Sounds like my house.

We have 4 computers we use on the Network. (1 for each member of the family) and then in the basement we have the network all running through the server. (5th computer) I could easily add 2 or 3 more computers onto the network as all it would take is to plug them in and set up the network settings. I have 2 computers sitting behind me that are just sitting there unplugged and everything. Then 2 servers that are here while we set them up for my dads work. Lots of computers I'd say.

You forgot the "I give everyone a 5 to throw off the curve" option.

Lately I just mostly rate people that are always posting nuisance polls in the forum.

I don't rate people but like dbt1949 said, the poll won't let me post that.

I have given out several 5-star Ratings to people who contributed significantly to the community, with mods, stories, shipsets, forum avatars, the FAQ, or by generally being helpful when I have a question.

I have given out two one-star Ratings to flamers. The only two such people I saw here.

I gave a two-star rating to a person who is not a flamer but habitually uses offensive language.

That being said, I know there are still many people out there whom I should rate at 5 stars, please be patient and I'll get around to it.

I've rated quite a few people. Mainly if they release a nice shipset, a great story or be generally helpful to people. Then theres the exception of them being generally nice guys in the bar trek thread. I don't really give anything less than a 5 star rating, unless someone starts flaming someone.

I don't rate people for 2 reasons:

1. I'd only bother if I were going to give them a 5, or (maybe) a 1, anyway...

2. I don't know how to take it back... what if Suicide Junkie flies off the handle and becomes a homicide junkie?

Or what if a flamer I rated a 1 months ago has reformed and become an upstanding member of the community?
