You can now award a "gold star" to one post a day using a new button next to the existing green tick and red cross. The intention is to be able to vote for your best post of the day.

You are only allowed to award a gold star to one post in a 24-hour period. Once you have used up your nomination you will have to wait for the next day before the opportunity comes up again.

The gold stars will be weighted into the contribution for the existing Post of the Week in addition to the ticks and crosses used currently.

Happy gold starring

Whoever breaks the ‘Takeover Complete’ story on the forum is going to end up with more gold than a ram raid on Beaverbrooks

Since when did a forum become a popularity contest??

you post on a forum to discuss/digest/debate/offload on the subject matter - you don’t post with the intention of saying something to be popular, or controversial - you post what you think. Whether people like it or not is irrelevant.

But I can understand the need/thinking too add various things every now and again (devils advocate)

Eemmmmm...Rob, I've noticed a flaw, once you've given a Gold Star you can no longer give a green tick...think it needs a bit of fine tuning bud..

I've had 2 gold stars! I'd like to thank my agent, my mum and dad, the director.......

How do I see which of my rapier wit filled posts merited such gushing feedback? (without going through every thread)

Thank you darlings.....

That would have been my post of the day but then you added that last line.

Systems already buggered.  I haven't been credited with my second gold star that's on another thread.

It helps take the edge off my nightmares because they cant compete with the reality of what is happening to our club.

Also it helps me sleep, as two minutes staring at it and I go comatose very rapidly.

Thanks for the glow-in-the-dark turkey baster

Hmm, let's call it a turkey baster then......

Rob has asked me to help him test the system.

Can everyone please give this post a gold star so we can check it’s working properly.

I have found a problem with only having one star to give away each day.

Having already used it I find another post I want to give it to instead.

I will have to save it until late night then decide who to give it to.

Which sets another problem I might be drunk and give it to the wrong person.

Oh !  Rob you do make things difficult for us old gits.

You actually get 2 stars per day. One in here and one in non footy.

Just gave a gold star to you Pete, but only for test purposes.

Says a lot for the state of our Club that a thread on gold stars is the most active.

Can we have a system to award an “ungold” star each day?

We could call it an ‘Iron star’ (or ‘Ginger Pig’ )

Marinerjase said :-

you post on a forum to discuss/digest/debate/offload on the subject matter - you don’t post with the intention of saying something to be popular, or controversial - you post what you think. Whether people like it or not is irrelevant.

I think I'll quote this at the end of each post I make.

On the subject of Gold Stars may I thank the 2 forumites who me the Gold Stars. Obviously their perception of the points I have made has been excellent. Unfortunately for those who had added over 100X's in the last few days their perception has been lacking.

In conclusion if I get green cross's and maybe a Gold Star(or2) for this post I will be grateful. On the other hand several more hundreds of X's would also be appreciated. The extra X's would add to my tally which might give me the highest least approval rating of all, meaning again that I would be the most popular unpopular forumite ever. So I would be POPULAR.

If you think that I am totally serious about this load of controversial crap then you are wrong. The night is getting on and posting on most threads dismal so I thought a bit of light banter/rubbish might cheer somebody up.

Gold Star anyone.

I need to add something to the end of this post.

I think we should mark the occasion of him leaving by re-naming Football Twit of the Week the Weekly Fenty. Something to remember him by.

That can happen if someone clicks on the gold star and then moves their vote to one of the other two choices. The counts get recalculated periodically based up the current votes.

However, I have changed it so it will never mark someone down, just up.

It is with deep regret that unfortunately at the end of September I was given a recycled one somebody got from eBay. They gave me the book and kept the fiver that was attached to it.

I should have realised then, but like everybody else, I was taken in by his silver smooth talking tongue and words. Only a few months later did the truth come out and unfortunately it corresponds to some of his chapters, which could be reheaded 'It's not my fault'.
