AKA Two-Star Bandit
Here is the email I receive from Story Star admin after I gave the forum's pet-poster a Two-Star rating to two of his posts in order to reduce their AWSOME rating to a more deserved one. Now, please note that their rating was only reduced to the rating of Great, which I still didn't think they deserved, but it was what it was.
Based on those two ratings, I was accused once more of becoming a Two-Star bandit. Now, that accusation had been levied at me because I had used the Two-Star rating for stories I had deemed worthy of only the One-Star rating of Poor.
Also, contrary to what the pet poster there said about the rater's conscience eventually being bothered for using the the Two-Star category, no, sorry, but I do not regret rating all those sorry assed, so-called stories that way because that is the rating that I felt was most appropriate.
In fact, and ironically, I was actually being exceedingly kind since I felt they deserved the One-Star or Poor rating instead. But since it was not permitted, I was forced to choose the Two-Star rating which means FAIR instead.
No, I didn't believe that I was doing anything wrong. After all, why would any respectable forum include the Poor and Fair rating as choices if they are actually totally off-limits? Is it in order to convey the illusion that the voting members actually had them at their disposal after the evaluation but chose not to use them?
BTW
About the frequency of my posting, I was posting as frequently as the pet forum member was. No more, and no less. Also, notice that the admin does not allow any explanations by classifying any explanation as a diatribe. In short, it is either her way, or the highway. So I decided to choose the highway.

If you have returned to Storystar to resume your "2-star bandit" crime
spree then you will force me to suspend you again. Don't force me. And
do NOT reply to this message with a long diatribe about why the story
deserves your 2 star rating. I won't even read it, I'll just hit my
block button again, which I do not want to have to do.
Also, you previously agreed to abide by the rule to not post more than
one story per day, at most, and I would ask that you please abide by
that agreement.
Thank you.
