I also struggled with the star rating, especially in my first few days. But at some point I just got over it. After a couple of weeks using it I'm just rating stuff without too much care and it seems pretty reasonable. I think of the Netflix scale: 1 == terrible, never show me stuff like this in this topic (I think this is actually their threshold for exclusion from a topic) 2 == on topic, but but I don't like it 3 == this is OK, but I'd rather have something else 4 == good, solid content I'd be happy reading just this stuff 5 == wow, this is great, if it comes up it better be #1 @idina_news @_b can you confirm that ratings are _only_ applied in topic? (they don't leak to other topics)
