S/he seems to be bashing indiscriminately, so my guess is a pissed off member or former member. Look at it this way, if s/he is bashing EVERYTHING, it's not personal!

Marty, can you Mods tell who is doing this? Or is some sort of Spam-Bot?

I've felt bad for a couple new posters who received one star from this person. I'm sure they don't realize it's just someone pissed off at the system/community.

I don't even think the one-star bandit is pissed off, necessarily. I kinda just think they're a sub-troll. They're just popping in and ranking threads to get noticed.
If so, job done.
It's kinda funny that this thread got rated 5-star seconds after I started it.
I swear I didn't rank it. I don't think I've ever rated a thread, really but if I did I don't recall...

What's the big deal, I thought one star was better than no stars??
5 stars is a lot of stars...the thread would have to include many many awesome things to get a full 5 stars.

according to who?
in Michelin's Parlance even One star is an accomplishment.
**edit**
answered my own question....apparently vBulletin isn't impressed with one star ratings. But what do they know.

look how happy Mario is with his one star!...we should all be so fortunate.
