How Can We ALL Get the Ability to Give the SAME Post Multiple Stars?

It seems that some (at least one) here have the ability to give more than one star (Read MANY) to pro-Hamass posts.

In the interest of fair play...
How can we ALL get that ability in order to have the same advantage and level the field when it comes to elevating preferred posts and threads?

I would hate to think a mod or staff member is cheating other members in order to simply further the propaganda goals of Hamass.

Say it ain't so.

It's a matter of principle...and fairness.
Something ATS has always championed.

a reply to: CarlLaFong

Yes, I get that. I just don't really get bothered whether I get stars.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Do you believe other members here should enjoy the same rights and privileges that you enjoy here?

a reply to: CarlLaFong

Yes, of course. I was just wondering if anyone really cared about stars?

I can say it, that's easy!

To your later point:

This is one of the many problems of not having an owner that is front facing. We don't know the principals they carry.

If that's the case, why are certain forum gangs always complaining when the silent majority asserts itself and asking for special treatment to retain the superior illusion of numbers?

I still remember the T&C's you suddenly want to reinstate, and I remember the times before the Dark Ages.

History can't be rewritten onsite as easily as everyone would like.

It's a constant Power Struggle these days, and I've been locked out of my privacy rights and sovereginty on several platorms for so long, my names and avatars co-opted by unnamed parties, my financials hijacked and rerouted, my freedoms radically abused by the technocratic elites on all sides.

Forgive me for speaking my mind on this issue, but it's not just ATS, it's the entire interent.

One group weaponizes it's platform, it spreads across all the others, forces beyond our understanding weaponize everything for their own designs and profit amrgins, and everyone cries foul when it doesn't reinforce their designs.

AI is already here, the cards are already stacked against everyone, and the House wins every time.

Endless cycles repeating all over again.

History is written by the Victors, remember?

I'm not happy either, but so it goes.

If had a solution that was fair and balanced, I'd certainly offer it.

But alas, I am rendered with a impossible task.

Stars can draw attention to certain posts...by indicating an interest in what is posted.
It's like giving one side in a debate a megaphone.

Either give ALL members the same ability to indicate approval or agreement in the post...or take away the ability from the one person abusing it.

IF it turned out our new owner is an anti-Semite Hamass terrorist...I would rethink supporting this site with my time and contributions.

The flag is on the top left corner. a reply to: GalacticNight

This thread is going to get locked.

Before it does I"m going to say this ....

The thing going on with the stars ... it's obnoxious and obvious and not authentic.

Within two or three minutes of the post happening, certain posts will receive 10 stars.

It's almost always the pro-Hamas crap that gets them.

That's impossible on a dead forum like this.

There would have to be 10 people signed in, who all are sitting on the same thread, reading the same post at the same time, reading it instantly as it is written, and all agreeing with it and giving it a star, and all of those posters remaining silent and not posting anything of their own.

This forum is a dead one. There aren't that many people signed in to be able to get that kind of thing happening. It's just not possible.

Something is screwball.

Yes the stars have been messed up for years. But not in this way. Something else is going on.

SO OBVIOUS.
