@92BuickLeSabre: Yeah, I hear ya', 92BLS. I just approved a less-than-stellar comment in another post just so I could poke a bit of friendly fun at it.
My assumption is, when we do this, we are only approving the SINGLE comment, right? Not like we are giving a green light to ALL upcoming comments...right?
Of course, maybe I'm getting worked up over nothing. I mean, any one of the 700,000 new star commenters since yesterday could be doing the same thing.
@spannu: OOPS, sorry folks! My misunderstanding. I won't do that going forward, but will leave that mistake to all the 735,000 noob star commenters.
And speaking of stars, spannu, where's yours? Or does the fact that you have 75 Followers and a legacy of strong commenting disqualify you under the apparently brand-new star-approval rules? (Hint: maybe try pissing off all those folks so you can whittle them down to two or fewer Followers, might do the trick!)
@bosskev: At this point - just like tattoos - I'll take it more as a badge of pride that I've managed to be around for longer than damned near everyone else without a star....
@Elvisisdead: I had that distinction locked up...until yesterday when the star flood got me a star. Now I'm in with the 934,000 new star commenters. Bosskev, do I get a pass, maybe an honorary membership in the "Old School Star Club?"
@Con Seannery: Hey, Con S, technically you may BE one of the 1,113,000 new star commenters, but you are still UNIQUE among Gizmodians. So, yes indeed and IMHO, you HAVE earned an honorary membership into the legacy ranks!
@bosskev: I went out last night, and when I came back I had a star. Coincidence? I'll let you be the judge of that.
But seriously, it was for a decent (but not quite awesome) comment on Kotaku. I'm wary about posting now since my stupidity gets prime real estate, and responding to other people encourages them to be dumb like me.
Butt plugs are sex toys designed to be inserted in the anus and rectum for sexual pleasure. In some ways, they are similar to a dildo, but they tend to be shorter, and to have a flared end to prevent the device from being lost inside the rectum. (Many dildos lack a flared end, and thus it is ill-advised to use such dildos anally, since they may get stuck, requiring medical extraction. This situation is discussed in the rectal foreign body article.)
@Mondoz: I think it is, now. I think signing up for an account gets you a star now. I have a star now, but I feel like it's some how a lesser magnitude, as I got it at the start of the star flood...

On the other hand, it's clever and I lol'ed a little, and I would definitely comment on it under the old system - although probably to make fun of it.
This is going to take some learnin'.

Giz story
And the Lifehacker link, which says a bit more:
Lifehacker story
I'd say, be sure you read both of them, because the 788,000 new star commenters already have the jump on you!
