(Hmm, just to get some debate started...) Before arguing about which runs should or shouldn't have stars, it is important to determine where the final decision lies on which runs have stars. As I see it, there are 3 options for this: 1 person, a select group of people, everyone.
I think (although if you disagree, please post) there is only one person who would be suitable for the "1 person" option, and that would be Bisqwit. This is how it was decided, and I think also how it is currently decided. However, after reading
this thread, it's probably not an ever lasting option, so one of the two other options is needed for the longterm probably (if I'm wrong about this, please let me know). I'll list here what I think are the pro's can cons for these options:
(1) Select group:
A select group discusses which TASes should have stars. They listen and actively discuss with the entire community about this matter, but the ultimate dicision lies with the members of that group. Stars that are assigned also get a motivation for why this particular run got a star (maybe this motivation should be in a column at the list of starred movies). This will probably give a pretty good list, but a problem might be people not agreeing with, or on who are the group members. I'd say there are two options for forming such a group. Either, (1a) maybe after a discussion about it at the forum, Bisqwit ultimately decides on it, or, (1b) after some discussion about it there is a poll about which nominees should be on it, going by popular vote.
(2) Everyone:
This won't give any problems on who gets to have a say in it obviously. And there should obviously be some debate about the stars also... but ultimately deciding it can't really come through debating, since there will always be people who disagree, and not one person (or group) can say in the end "this is gonna be it"... since then it would basically be option (1). The only way to ultimately decide is going it through polls. This does give clear, undebateble results, but it probably would give a very well balanced list (although maybe some selection method for polling can be suggested).
If there are any other good options (maybe more exotic), let them know.
(Also, I know that this post is very similar to
moozooh's post. I suggest to also read that post... but I felt like making another post about it, since this should probably be discussed before debating about actual stars.)
