So I came up with this article due to the fact that there are so many out there on Vine, working daily, trying to get noticed or working on their Standings. I for one have been working diligently everyday to improve here on the Vine and have decided to dedicate this article to everyone who desire to get a Star. I think more often than not people go on busting their butt, whether they seed articles, create their own, spending time taking pictures etc. etc. This also for all the new people just starting off on the Vine like I did just seven months ago. I invite everyone friend and foe to come make it happen, to see how many stars we can project as a team, without rhetoric or disruption and chaos...we can all be recognized for the efforts that we put in this site daily...If you like this article then vote it up!!! Let the Stars begin....with coh enforced of course...lol
Green Stars for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Enjoy this article? Help vote it up the 'Vine.

ok, first thing that popped into my mind with "green stars" was:
What about purple diamonds and blue hearts? (didn't have breakfast, so for some reason I have Lucky Charms on the brain...)
- 23 votes
no problems my dear -- like I said, my brain goes on the oddest tangents sometimes :P
(the other thing I thought of was "Green Stars sounds like a kid's soccer team name, like Purple Princesses")

Give it time...my brain will come up with more...like "Green stars must be for good effort instead of gold stars for great job"

Ok, I don't do Lucky Charms, but I'm all for a Granny's Country Omelette at your nearest Perkins!
Oh man, I've got pancakes, bacon, a big omelette, hash browns and a huge pot of coff-ay on the brain!!
So... anyone buying?!

It's been forever since I've seen you Brite luv! How have you been? How's Mr Brite?
- 12 votes
Mr Brite is doing well and at an Army school for Officers, learning to "be all he can be"... what ever that means... I'm hoping that means he'll have a "real job"... Officers don't have real jobs like enlisted people do, you know... LOL
I'm still taking time off school... I had foot surgery, after the wedding (it seems to be a trend... get married, have foot surgery... I don't get it either...) and am currently house breaking a new Pomeranian puppy that is part cat, part gerbil, part Tasmanian devil, part whirling dervish and all dog. School is on hold until after Yule, when I'm sure of my balance, they amputated part of my big toe due to a bone infection (?)... :(
Other than that... we are having FUN! :)
- 11 votes
They're on my desk, so open for anyone :P
(the hidden Good and Plenties and Junior Mints are just for me)
And be well, Brite, remember you're always in my thoughts even if you're not here -- gotta have a favorite Wiccan :)

I love green stars. They go so well with my "collapsed by the community" banners.

Sometimes being collapsed by the community is a badge of honor. Besides, like most people, can't resist seeing what was so offensive about a comment to get it collapsed.

Bad choice of words Runner -- now I'm wondering what a male does who has only one ball...

So THAT'S what the green stars are for...wishing upon! Gotta remember to tell that to Jiminy Cricket :)

Yup, and if you get enough green stars you can wish for another ball.

I resent that Brite doesn't think I resemble that remark, belle!

You mean to tell me that I'm likely to get voted up without having to offer a well crafted comment that provides insightful views on a particular topic? I'm game!

I voted you up Naughynumbernine also, just from the fact that your comment Was a well thought out and civil statement.

AR.
I may not get a star, because I arrived late. But I know I did it for a few others, including you. Oh, you do it for me btw;)

Well there you go AR, another nicely done article. Great job on NV promoting peace, fairness, and civil discourse. And of course I voted it up. :)

naughtynumbernine - The fact that you recognize the lack of insight involved in your comment shows that you have greater insight than you recognize! HA!!!
Well done....

I was the bane of the nuns... they never stood a chance...
- 12 votes
No matter how hard they tried to indoctrinate you Brite, it appears you came through unscathed. It must have been tough. I was raised Catholic myself, and they really work on you. I survived, and pursued a short stint of debauchery and drinking as an outlet for any self respecting musician.

I also was subject to Catholicism! All it ended up doing was pushing me away. I tried the other religions too, they were all the same!

Virgil I'm already beyond druids! I'm into Greek gods now! Those are the craziest people's I ever met! Aaaaaah the memories! I remember when Zeus ate his first payote buttons! He was dancing on the marble tables balancing an oil lamp on his head shooting lightning from his fingertips at the knickknacks on the walls! Athena and Venus were laughing their asses off! Mars was hitting on Persephone but she wasn't biting. I think that's why Mars became the god of war! He wasn't getting any action anywhere else!
- 11 votes
Natasha sounds like a good name for the probe! Thanks naughty!
Don't worry Virgil, I will make it quick and painless! You won't need to hang from my belt! I save that position for people with trollish behavior. They require longer periods of Natasha treatment to see what makes them tick!

when i started on this, i had to ask what the stars meant. then i remember two people arguing about you should vote for your own comment. i say i do not because i wrote the damn thing.
what do you win for stars?
- 16 votes
Does anyone else think that the stars should change color after the comments recieve a certain amounts of votes?
- 21 votes
Agreed the stars should change colors to signify the amount of votes received.
I think they also need to install a counter gang collapsed comments. See how many people it really takes to collapse a comment.
- 15 votes
That is it?
I thought that it would have taken a seething mass of Viners to get those things done. Not a handful of people having a bad hair day and are holding a grudge.
- 15 votes
I think there's more to collapsing than that-there is an algorithim, based on visits, votes vs. '!' presses. I don't think just a couple reports autocollapses. I think Calvin or Tyler discussed it at one point in a Moderator article.

I know what you mean Virgil! I've seen one of the clowns that have got one and I don't know if I'd want to be part of that clan. You know who I mean!:-] that person should have his revolked for being a hypocrite to the very reason he got it to begin with!
I'll take the coupon as well!
Besides, my shuttlecraft has a lot of bugger splats on it's portholes!

Virgil, it was a moment in life I don't care to remember. Let's just say I heard more than I ever wanted to.
Oh, and of course, my father was reading the newspaper--I cannot forget the image of him sitting there, reading the paper... in the loo, for cryin' out loud!!!
I never again touched the paper after that. You couldn't be sure of where it had been!

I have a confession. There was this one time i checked my own comment and it was sitting at a 4 vote, and yes i voted for my own comment to get a star. I have felt like i stole something ever since. The guilt is tearing me apart. I am addicted to drugs and alcohol now as a result. I can only hope that my confession will free me from the self inflicted bondage caused by my vine greed. Even now though i am tempted to vote for this comment! Help me!

I've also pushed myself over the edge for the green star. I just, had to have it. It was so close.
Support Group? Thursday nights?
- 16 votes
Sometimes if i am at 3 votes i remove my shoes in my office to get grounded with the energy of the vine for good luck. It usually gets me a 4 vote with in 2 minutes and then the real problems begin as the debate to self vote begins. It is the same type of guilt you have standing around the water cooler when a coworker talks about their sexual escapades the night before and you tell them about yours and omit that you were alone.

Sex with ones self is the safest sex. Provided you are skilled with power tools. Always follow the safety instructions and use protective eyewear.
Hard to fake one by yourself.
Don't really have to worry if one was "good" or not.

Granted, not much to be gained other than a few coins for the baby's college education, but at this point, I'll take what I can get!! (and if we're getting it for free, I say more power to the star power!!)

RACHEL, no that wasn't me, that was my co-worker wearing a human suit so not to frighten anyone! KLAATU was the robot! He is pretty harmless unless provoked, but I think he takes his job a little too seriously! He just went in for a overhaul and reprogramming last week! After his overzealous fiasco back in the fifties, we put him on KP! (Kow procurement). How else are we going to get our prime rib? We can't just walk into the grocery store you know!:-]
