Artist stars, by maumau93 on Jan 18, 2012 1:54:13 GMT 1,
ok well this star rated system is getting on my tits a bit an i think it needs looking at! big time!
i would suggest maybe a board voted system not just one persons opinion!?!
or an even better system would be getting rid of the star rating system altogether altogether! that way you let people make thier own minds up instead of shoving your preferences down peoples throats...
SILKY YOU UP FOR IT!?!?
im just not sure how the likes of:
fake, stik, grafter, SPQR and swoon! are on 1 stars!!!
saber one and TLP are on 2 stars!!!
and many more unfair and quite poorly chosen ratings are handed out on here
get voting!!!

Artist stars, by mouser on Jan 18, 2012 2:17:01 GMT 1, Unsure as to why artists need to be graded at all, as different people like different things and artists work varies greatly in style, content and ability.
Maybe it'd be more suitable just find some way of highlighting members / artists without trying to "quantify" them.
Why would somebody want to "grade" and artist?
There is a positive mentality here where artists are to be encouraged, with several threads I have read been chastised for expressing a negative opinion on an artists output. I'd argue that assigning a grade to and artists is a very similar thing, bracketing an artists work as "less" than anothers due to an unquantifiable opinionated grading system.
IMO.

Artist stars, by Warm Gun on Jan 18, 2012 20:06:56 GMT 1, I've never taken the slightest bit of interest in silkys artist star ratings. They only mean something to him as it's 100% his personal opinion based solely on what and who he likes.. He's stated a few times that all board members were offered a chance to help reward the stars as we saw fit but I personally never saw this thread, it was hidden somewhere in the depths of the forum never to be seen by anyone other than him. I'll stick my mortgage on the fact he won't change his system regards of what any of us think of it.

Artist stars, by Coach on Jan 18, 2012 23:13:57 GMT 1, The artists stars system is, (imo, only of course) a really bad idea for so many reasons.
I said as much when it was introduced, but cant find the thread now.
It is (imho) insulting to some hugely influencial and important artists (not that I think they would particularly care - but insulting nonetheless).
For example Micallef, Choe and JR all 2 stars, and Os G just 3 stars.
No particular vested interest here - I only own anything by 1 of those 4 artists.
Inevitably the number of stars is down to one persons personal opinion of the artists.
However, as this is not made clear, visitors to this site could think that there was some authority behind the number of stars, over and above one person's personal opinion.
I also think that the system is potentially off putting for new and emerging artists - "will I be taken seriously if I dont have any stars" (fwiw, I hope so, because its the work that counts).
Warm Gun, I dont remember any opportunity to input into the star system, or any subsequent suggestion by Silky that this was what happened - I thought (Silky, please correct me if this is wrong) that Silky decided the number of stars, but he said he took into account how often the artists were discussed on this thread - please forgive me if this is not correct.
I would support Five in his suggestion that we go back to just 1 red star for all artists.
No offense intended by any of the above.
Btw - I would also still like to see the return of the "Your artwork" section. Please! One of my favorite places on here!

Personally i really don't care about these stars. I make up my own opinion.
But to new ppl it might be a pointer on what is hot or big.

Artist stars, by manty on Jan 18, 2012 23:19:54 GMT 1, I didn't know the artists had stars?
Where do i find them?
Stars are a little bit kiddy for us mortals to get on post count, i would much prefer to have comments like when you get to 1000 posts you can be called something derogatory like forum bore or similar <<<< nips off to check own post count
'Your artwork' was good, when did that go?

Artist stars, by sfinks on Jan 19, 2012 0:05:41 GMT 1, Thanks for the link. Altho i only read the original first post, that's kinda what i suggested.
"This could maybe be worked out by the results of the Urban Art Awards, and adjusted each year. "
If this is the case, and it has been followed, i don't see any reason to change the system. Only update it due to this years results.
If its only 1 persons opinion, its clearly wrong. But somehow i doubt that is the fact.

Everyone makes mistakes. I would hope the star system to simply be that a mistake. In the wrong hands this sort of thing can be abused. Not that I am accusing anyone.
I am sure Silky will see sense .

Artist stars, by Deleted on Jan 20, 2012 2:05:01 GMT 1, Actually I've just had a look at the stars for certain artists. I hope these artists are the kind of people who wouldn't get upset by one persons opinion. I wouldn't use the forum if I was an artist and was being judged in that way, unless I had 5 .
Silky, I know this is your forum and that I was pretty damn horrible to you(which resulted in a deserved ban :-) ).
In mine and everyone else who has voteds opinon its time to remove these stars, its just not fair on artists to be judged in this way, we have the Urban Art Awards, they speak for themselves. Why not just keep everyone who has voted happy and move on ?.
You could also ban me, but I've been much nicer this time ;-).

Artist stars, by johnnyh on Jan 20, 2012 5:49:06 GMT 1, This such a terrible system in so many ways but the biggest problem is that it does not judge their art - not saying you should or can do that really but would have to if you want to do this.
If he really wants to categorize the artists which just seems weird in concept. Could do some thing like Int artist eg bloody famous, Renowned Artist eg quite famous, then gallery and street artists and then for developing or new artists just artist.
This can all be judged on and by how much street work how many gallery shows etc as a guide. But I think their work should speak eg if you like a piece buy it Martin what son is great example of someone starting to get popular based on his work why base it on some cockamamy star system.
Putting artists in boxes ESP street artists mad mad mad
IMO of course already been in trouble for criticizing the Urban Art Movement this week.

Some of you agree, Some don't, Some like it and some don't nothing will ever please everyone! thats impossible.
Just coz something does not match your personal opinion doesn't mean its wrong or should be removed.

Some people don't like votes or awards they just see them as a popularity contest, but that's not a good reason not to have them.

20 votes - 20 "remove them".
pretty much same story on the original thread where you asked "What do you think?"?
I don't think anyone else, apart from you, like this "Urban Art Association Rating".
you should care more what your forumites think about this forum, we are the community that keeps your forum alive.

or do you mean "I will do anything I want with this forum because it's mine and I don't give a sh*t about other people's opionions?"

It means that just coz something is your opinion, doesn't means its the right things to do to everyone.
Your posting your opinion, and I have said many times before that if you think an Artist should get more or less stars, then start a thread in that Artists board about it, stating your opinion on why you think it should be different.
You post your opinion, and let others post theirs

Artist stars, by ilmambo on Jan 20, 2012 16:40:55 GMT 1, why should I start a thread to change an artist rating?
my opinion will be ignored like you're doing right now when we're asking you to remove the rating stars.
no one (apart from you) likes this idea, and it has been explained very well by many members why it shouldn't exist.
and what did you say? "you don't expect everyone to agree with your opinion, so don't expect these ratings to change just to suit you personally."
you should state clear to everyone that that they are YOURS personal ratings, that reflects YOURS ideas and they won't be removed because YOU like them.
