Technical questions (new threads vs. posting on an existing thread, stars)

[babymakingisnatural]

Hello,

I'm somewhat of a newbie here so I just have a couple of questions.

1.) Is there a translation of the star ratings? 

i.e. One star= terrible; Five stars= Outstanding

I generally know what this means but is there an authoritative guide to this?

2.) Also, what is the protocol for starting a new thread vs. posting on an existing thread?
I've started 3 threads so far just because the content seemed significant enough to warrant a thread of their own. 
Does it look like I've been on the right track or should I have posted any of these to an existing thread?
I can see it being annoying for someone to post a single picture on a new thread with a very vague description but I've tried to avoid that.
The links to these include:

https://preggophilia.com/18-year-old-sar...birthday-t

Finally, I got some negative comments about the second link (15 year old Amber) from other posters, some of which have been deleted. Was there something about this post that shouldn't have been included? Am I missing something here?
I hope this hasn't already been covered. I checked and didn't see anything right offhand but I'm new here so thanks for bearing with these questions!

1. First of all the star system is kinda broken. Its not based on number of votes, just the current star status. I.e. a thread with one 5 star rating will be above a thread with a hundred 5 star ratings and a few 4 star ones. But yes, generally 5 star is the highest rated. Also some grumpy people tend to vote 1 star on otherwise great threads for who knows what reason.

2. Quite the loaded question. There is no major protocol. Its generally frowned upon to post on a thread that has been irrelevant for a significant amount of time especially if there is no new content. If you post on a old thread, it will bring it back to the front page, which is silly if nothing is new.

As far as making new threads. Do as you like. A lot of members have mega threads where they post content related to the thread. Sometimes its just their instagram finds as they find them. Sometimes its girls in tight clothing, as long as its new content and related to the overall thread, you can post as many times as you like in a thread. Others such as myself will make a new thread if they tend to find something that stands out. Maybe a significant progression or a video that doesnt fit within other threads.

As far as negative comments, I wouldnt sweat it too much. For some reason, certain members feel entitled to give negative opinions as if anyone gives a shit. From the threads you posted seem totally fine albeit not my tastes.

If you have other questions, I'm sure admin or other members can help. Here's an old thread concerning some basic etiquette:
