Rating System Picture Gallery

A picture gallery for the rating system, where thread starters can copy pictures and paste them on their threads to rate or determine the tone and communication style they would like to see.

 Rating a thread is not obligatory. If a thread starter does not rate his or her thread, anything is possible, from one-star banana to five-star habanero—he or she is trusting islanders to respond with whatever they feel is appropriate. Rating a thread, however, doesn't imply a lack of trust: a person may simply feel like a chilled-out mango thread or want it to be an homage thread or perhaps know that he or she would like to have a red-hot-chili thread (one with heated debate) and give people fair warning.

 If you like you can post rating pictures that you would like to have in the gallery on this thread (with a brief description if necessary), and then I will place them in the gallery for convenience.

For a more detailed description of the rating system please see here:
