LOL the sad part is you can't rate your own threads

LOL Same here, I'm very sure it's about the number of views and how people rate it.

Ah, Yes that is how, Thanks for clearing that up!

Chris,

I think it has to do with the number of views. I notice those with views less than 200 don't have stars, while those over 200 do.
