Star Rating for Threads.
You can also promote/demote posts with the little + and - in the post.

Let people know which threads are five stars!
NOTE: Don't be trolls about it.

I see "The current score of this post." as a 0 on your post, but I do not see any + or - buttons/text.

I'm exempt.

It's my SemiPhenomenal NearlyCosmic powers.

I don't remember a popularity score being here when I first logged on. Was this back in the late 90s? I had an account here back then, however I can't recall this.

Yeah back in Forumplanet days you had the ability to rate a topic from 0 to 5 stars.
That's why if you talk to Freak or other retrodungeonite people they'll say something like.

"This is a great topic.
5 stars"

or something.

Rating a post is new, though.

Is X exempt too? Nothing for his post. Nor anything for the thread itself I see.

I'm exempt?? What for? Jorge?

Jorge used me to test it. It should be working now. I see the + and - and thread ratings.

Ah, okay. I can see the respect indicator and the five-star choice bar now.

Looking forward to getting many negative points on my posts!

I think you should give it the benefit of doubt... for now. I can see this system emerging into pointless flame wars.

I'm still a bit upset about there not being a dislike button on facebook. There seems to be no way of making it clear for people that their status update is pointless and / or annoying without insulting them or striking an argument.
