Who rates threads?

[Maximilian]

I see 5 star threads and 1 star threads etc they usually have only 1 vote so is this a mods only thing or what? Can i rate theads?

 

[Greenman]

Threads are rated?

AFAIK we don't have the ability to rate threads. Which ones do you see with ratings?

 

[viivo]

In the regular forums it's up near "thread tools" and "search this thread."

Also in console gaming.

That one seems to have 5 stars, theres a bunch of others too.

Aha i see it, funny how thats there yet ive never known that or rated any threads yet some still show up as being rated. If i try to add to that rating it says "you have already rated this thread".

Its like vBulletin is deciding for me which threads i think are 5 stars and then rating them. If thats the case its got it all wrong, its given this eve thread has 5 stars:

Odd, I just checked that thread and it says I already rated it but I did not!

I'm thinking they have it setup so only the mods can rate. I don't even see the option for this one, for example.

I'll ask. These are the only ones I see with it:

CPUs and Overclocking
Highly Technical
Programming
PC Gaming
Console Gaming
Security

FYI, I rated my own thread 5 stars (http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2020118), and as you know, I'm not a mod...

 

[allisolm]

I asked. I've gotten no response so far.

This makes me wonder if we can rate our own threads ? Kinda seems pointless, IMO.

I was able to rate that thread 1 star and now the thread is 3 stars.
