Golden Opportunity

[Loki]

Don't miss out today on a golden opportunity of your lifetime to bestow threads you start, and other peoples threads, with the 'highly coveted' and 'much sought after' 5 Golden Star rating.

Now I'm talking no money down folks, no strings attached, you can drive it away today !

This offer is even sanctioned by our “cryptic leader”, who states: “ratings are then more accurate than more members participate in voting... any member may vote for any thread.”
Did I mention he was cryptic?

Well anyway, I hear you asking, Loki how can I get in on this sweet deal?

Well gents it's real simple.
While you're logged in, go to the upper right and depress the:
“Rate this Thread” button. Next, select:
“5 Golden Stars” (your thread is worth it, isn't it?) Next, depress the:
“Vote” button.

See how easy it was to put “Gold” in those threads?

So go ahead and rate those threads !

This offer is not valid in some states, and your mileage may vary.

Loki, thank you for advertising of SGT rating system.

To all: rating system's menu is located at the top of each thread:

You can't be serious, lurking within you is there a sense of humor?

I use opportunity

I gave one star, not because that's my honest opinion but just to see/show how easily it can be manipulated.

My single vote moved the thread from 5 stars to 4

But I guess this toy will appeal to some - I prefer ones that take batteries

Precisely my point, since Smiles posted the initial question about Those 5 Golden Stars.

Well Moses, I'll use this opportunity to inform you the invisible "sarcasm" emoji in this thread was clearly lost on you.
However, I do applaud your effort in turning lemons into lemonade !!

However,

The sarcasm was also lost on me. I had no idea what you were writing about.

And, I also did give a one star rating same as SG. I doubt it made any difference.

[scottish-guy]

Oh it made a difference all right - it's down to 3 stars now, again proving Loki's point.

Thanks SG.
There's a saying “do the math” in American slang.
It refers to the ability to take in information, process the information, then formulate a conclusion.
Sadly, some members of SGT population are compromised in doing the math.
