But if YOU have found that YOU feel the need to rate a deal, whether that be 1-star or 5-stars, why do you care that the community thinks differently or not? a deal to one person is not a deal to another, and voting means you've decided the value of that deal to you.Deals often change after the initial post. As I said above, maybe I am not initially interested in a thread, but the deal gets sweeter or I missed something initially that the community picks up on. I am never going to see that everyone else considers it a 5-star thread because I already rated it early on? That is a total disincentive for me to ever rate a thread.

So the whole point is to discourage people from rating deals?

1 star is the minimum.... you can think of 1 star as "maximum red"

1 star = hate it
2 star - don't like it
3 star = ok
4 star = like it
5 star = love it

The new system is a little confusing. It is like the green/red system except now there are 5 levels + don't care. Isn't it easier to just have the old way, hate it or love it or don't care? I guess I can get used to it.. I still like the old system better.. I am so missing the little green bars.
