ez guide should I authenticate by acct?
(Below information, a bit out of date. You now need to verify your acct, before your allowed to post on IMDB. EDIT: 3-15-2007 orange stars will be phased out.)
The stars are now located in your bios. Posters were getting confused with the stars. Many thought that it meant that you were an Admin. The truth is that IMDB, is trying to cut down on trolls and make IMDB more enjoyable. (Works for me!!!!!) (Currently you have to authenicate to post/PM on IMDB. If you are already can post at IMDB, than don't worry. You are already in the system. New posters will have to get the star though.)
I noticed that some people, have ORANGE STARS- what is up, with that?
Click on this star http://imdb.com/user/ur0345531/boards/profile/, and learn about it.
Bascially it is to help, to control spam and trolls.
(NOTE: some posters had stars and others didn't. There was a bit of resentment and paranoia. Now that the stars are located in the bios, the stars are not mentioned that often.)
Watch this informative movie- The Monsters are Due on IMDB (less than 2 minutes). All will be explained http://youtube.com/watch?v=UtYnihTt3hg
(1)I don't believe you, about the stars!!! You 'star people', think that you are so superior. I don't think much of the stars. You are all so smug.
(2)It's an Amazon plot, to get my information. Getting a star, is stupid.
(3) I know that it's a way for Amazon, to track me. I'm not doing it. It is a scam and everyone who has one, is probably going to give their money, to a Nigerian Prince scam.
(4) Random raving, about the star. Trust me, the star is not a bad thing.
It helps out IMDB, just ask on the HELP Board.
If you won't accept a rational answer; how about a illogical one. (choose one response)
(A)The stars are a plot by the Borg collective. This is merely Phase I. You and all you love, will be assimliated. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE- please click on link to be assimilated. http://tinyurl.com/26vmg5
(B) It's true, you found us out. We are busted. IMDB throws beach parties, once every 3 months. The posters with stars, are flown down to the Bahamas (free of charge, everythings is comped, we aren't charged for anything.) Film of "star posters" enjoying the beach. part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln3V0HgW4eM
part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0LgMpfLD1Y
(C) IMDB has merged with MK-ULTRA, and are going to re-pattern trouble makers. It is just best to get the star, and not cause any problems. Or you will programmed, to sing Barry Manilow songs. NO JOKE! Look if you don't believe me. http://youtube.com/watch?v=tsOJsJ601uA
Get the "Orange Star" at http://imdb.com/help/additional_authentication or at least some more information.
If you want to know more about the star (and possibly getting 30 second shaved off your posting quota), ask on the IMDB Help Board. http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000041/threads/
