That, and since you are late, you're not his first mate. And since you are the fourth one you are not a prime mate either. I'm taking into account that most english speakers, including those in North America who primarily use the word "mate" in a sexual context, realize that most of the English-speaking countries primarily use the word in a completely non-sexual manner. And regardless of how informal that use may be, one will still find that informal use in the dictionary. Now, whether or not he meant to imply that a ship's first mate may be the top sexual interest of the crew is completely up for debate.

Here I posted a link to a professional-quality video of two climbers doing one of the most famous and infamous routes of all time: the Bachar–Yerian—and it gets three votes, all one-star. Enough is enough. Either hold people publicly accountable for their post ratings, or do away with post ratings altogether. The current system does not work. Jay Its pretty easy to remove the rating system. Just KillFile it. Or more specifically, Ad-Block Plus it away. Here is the new improved version of rc.com: Problem solved. So the haters that one star you just to one star you, they are wasting their time, you wont even see their vote.

This post from you is amusing, given how much time you spent one-starring adatesman once upon a time. I was one staring adatesman? No you got it backwards. I dont one star much of anyone, especially now, I have better to things to do. He on the other hand spent days going through every single post I ever made and one stared them all. Hows that for nerd rage? Kind of a waste of his time considering my browser doesent even load the stars anymore...

The point of the star rating is to rate a post based on it's validity, not to stroke your personal ego. You can pull an ostrich move and hide your head in the sand, but virtually all of your posts get one starred and it alerts everyone else reading it to the fact that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and are dangerous to take any sort of advice from.

I just saw one of usnavy's posts in another thread that was spot on... with one star.

I don't value USNavy's opinion with those others, but the others are all quite high in my esteem. The system is worthless because the ratings are populated by fools and noobs. Of course, I get a lot of 1 star posts as well. Especially when I'm right.
