The star system used here is, at best, childish.  ^ ! ! This.

I gave Homeless Joe five star rating recently but he still has only one star.  I don't get it.  Apparently > one person has to give such rating to increase anothers number of stars. |  |  |

It's pretty easy. Its an average. If I get you 1 star, and Joe gives you 5 stars, your rating will be 3 stars.

I  don't think that the Star System is childish, paying too much attention to it is. JC

How can Walter Snyder be only 3 stars?  Why not delete the whole system and be done with it?  What purpose does it serve?  At the very least, make available a listing of the the rankings which lead to the rating shown (and the names of the geniuses who posted them).

Let's start a petition to eliminate the star system.  As Craigster said, it is childish.  And it's distracting.  I can see no benefit whatsoever to have it.
