Do we have the ability to rate all the threads we encounter? I thought this was limited to Awesome Posts and the few G&T threads that made the cut. Now it seems that I can rate anything.

    Any thread can be rated, but five or more people must vote on it for the ratings to show up.

    Someone had an April Fool's joke where they'd get people to rate the Steam thread 5 stars and everything else in G&T one star.

    I figured it was a group from SE++ going through and rating every G&T thread one star. You know, because of the pretend rivalry.

    SE++ would have to care first.

    I had half a thought to infract the fuck out of certain people, but that would require me to care about it.

    I can't honestly believe anyone would actually spend their time doing this
    For a bunch of nerds on the internet, the fact that someone's been able to lower the bar is fucking astounding

    I was wondering why so many threads had low ratings. What a hilarious prank.

    That was considered a prank? I thought it was something to do with the PA-community released source mod Shotgun Sunrise. They had the idea of rating the thread 5 stars to make it stand out more than the other threads to get people who wandered randomly into G&T to come look at it and possibly play the mod.
