If you rate it 5 just because he rates it 1 you are not really better then him, please use the system as intended or not at all.
I am guessing that Hilbert uses it to see what is popular, but if there is star wars going on, he cant use it anymore.

It is not supposed to be 'that visual'. It merely serves as a function for me to see what topics you guys like the best so i can put more effort into that.

To be honest, I stopped using rating system as it went away from forum itself. And I think most of us overlook those stars there on article.

If I may make a suggestion:
Considering this rating system is being abused, I wonder if it should instead use an algorithm, perhaps based on things such as view count and number of comments. You could also maybe use the "Like" variable from the 1st forum post (which as you know, is the article itself), and that "Like" button could maybe be linked to the non-forum particle page. I suggest this because I know most people won't go to the forum to press Like on an article.
When users have the ability to artificially make something more or less popular, that doesn't really tell you what's actually successful and desirable. If the system is mostly automated by statistics, you'll have a much more concise answer.

As I said, the story deserves 5 stars as is. If I were more aware of the rating system I would have voted 5 stars anyway. Don't lecture me or tell me what to do.

to be fair, much as i do love AMD when they perform well in the cpu market, they do have an army of shills that goes about tech sites spamming argumentative rhetoric and slogans and manipulate ratings. Some even appear to play both sides in order to appear balanced when posting to forums.
Fox2232
Sounds rather paranoid. How do you find out edge between shill, and objective poster? Where do I fall since I openly dislike nVidia as company (for their actions in past affecting decades of technological growth), but acknowledge that they make good GPUs?
What if that "Shill" has magnitude more experience or insider information for that matter and just moves around things (s)he is not allowed to talk about?
What do you objectively think about someone who writes something like this? :
[URL='https://forums.guru3d.com/posts/5567559/']he has a i5, thats some high level of self hate right there.
he has a Fury, thats some high level of self hate right there.
he has a GTX 1070Ti, thats some high level of self hate right there.
he has a Ryzen, thats some high level of self hate right there.[/URL]

What about the article on WCCTECh about the press EVENT AMD had to show the TR2? the Press are under NDA but it was leaked that 2990X can do 4.0Ghz all Core OC on stock air cooler!

Plot Twist:
Shown box with entry level 2900X with nice air cooling, and then on screen everyone saw tests via RDP on system cooled by 1500W chiller.
:D
...rumors

You are not an objective poster and it's absolutely comical that you believe that you are (I'm not saying you are a shill btw, you just have a very clear bias).
While I agree that these shills are present on both sides, the sheer level of AMD zealotry out there at the moment is monolithic.
The total and complete lack of objectivity, apples to twinkies comparisons and FUD runs as deep as the Marianas trench.
AMD's resurgence is a good thing for everyone except those who insist on taking sides and gain nothing from that choice.

This cuts both ways. I've seen Intel shills invading AMD threads and saying the most ludicrous things. I remember one person arguing that AM4 socket compatibility was a bad thing (he actually said it would be more expensive because you'd have to constantly upgrade) and another bashing Ryzen over DOSBOX results (freakin' DOSBOX for crying out loud!). If you don't think Intel shills are just as bad then you haven't been looking.
Fox2232
To get it straight. I just kind of enjoy replying to those who bring intel is all, be all superiority above AMD into intel's /AMD's thread. And then they show something totally stupid/irrelevant as evidence.
It is not like I go on my own and start AMD spam in intel's threads. It is always reply. Wanna blame someone, blame those I reply to who make those unrealistic statements or just reply to other replies which bring things up.
I never said that AMD's per core performance is higher than intel's, that would be lie. But when someone comes and starts something about intel having 20% higher IPC, he clearly means per core performance and has no clue what IPC is. Or is on intel's bandwagon and eats their redefinition of IPC. (Which is btw. one of most stupid things in tech industry.)
Secondly, I would like to ask you to compile my posts where I make things up. I think I am quite interested in what you see as FUD. (If you know definition.)
And the last thing. Please let us all know what you mean by gain nothing from choice (like one buys almost 4 times as powerful CPU than had before, or double amount of ram, ...). I think you want to rethink few of your statements... deeply. Otherwise it would be you who makes rather B.S. statements about others.
BangTail
I never said you made things up mate, to be clear, only the first line of that post was directed at you.
I was equally clear that I do not regard you as a shill, merely someone with a very clear bias towards AMD.
As for Intel shills, of course there are, I was equally clear about that in my post.
I wasn't talking about purchasing choices, I was specifically talking about taking sides when you gain absolutely nothing from taking a position.
I don't need to rethink anything, I was very explicit and did not make any 'BS statements' about anyone.
Fox2232
OK, granted. It happens to everyone that post towards someone changes into generic one in middle without indication.
But it is still bit hard to ignore: "...except those who insist on taking sides and gain nothing from that choice." Maybe you meant it in some other way. but it came out like HW choice of AMD is at best side grade. Did you meant it in some other way than on HW level? Like rooting for/promoting company for no benefit? (Still quite shortsighted to think that as even that brings long term benefits.) So, you likely meant it in some other way...
BangTail
It is quite clear that only the first line refers to you, and equally obvious that the rest of the post is a general observation (of course I was happy to clarify that for you).
I would agree that you are not interpreting my statement correctly because I certainly do not subscribe to the 'AMD is at best a side grade' point of view but we'll just leave it at that shall we 😉
Astyanax
well the only one that applies and has been stated is the second, the fury was/is a garbage product intended for the diehard buyers, nothing of your post has otherwise contradicted the reality of AMD's army of down/upvoters.
Might want to have a point next time.
Astyanax
For sure, we just don't need the over-representation that comes with the AMD fan base, its giving a bad idea on what and where products are good and frankly it lets AMD get complacent with their tech.
Having come from the Pentium MMX, and doing several stints with AMD, i've seen first hand how hard they try to convince themselves that intel's just cheating at this or that.
Fact is: AMD gets lazy, and none of their own x86 processors have done well without inheriting tech from outside the company (Athlon Cache), having jim keller on board (athlon64, ryzen) or being just an intel clone....
I hope some lessons have sunk in and the new leadership at AMD will allow constant progression of the zen design.
Fox2232
You sir are worth meeting. As you are exemplary hater. Fury X is quietest, coolest compute powerhouse at time of its release. And upon little tweaking its gaming performance per Watt is at nVidia's level.
You surely proven one point. Unfortunately not technical point. And nobody really wanted to know this about you. Just to be sure, did someone hack your account when it wrote #27 about shills, or did they hack it when it posted #37?
Astyanax
I keep seeing this posted in places, and all evidence is to the contrary.
an example of amd shilling.
D3M1G0D
Really? Tell me again how many bits your CPU is? Oh that's right, it's 64-bit - the same 64 bit technology that AMD developed while Intel was wasting their time with IA64.
Like @Fox2232 said, you are a prototypical example of a shill, and I find it ironic how you completely validate my point about shills invading AMD threads to spew garbage.
