there's a reputation system in place now.
because nobody cares about them.. duh :rolleyes:
because u probly can't change them :(
I think it means you are special if you don't have any.:D
Yes there is. But Forum Star's had the ability to view the Team Chat, and give input in forum discussions. Having a high reputation won't give me that. We had Forum Star's when this was just a test board for the mods, why'd you guys change your minds?Quote:

i think on the old board they said that there going to change that and make it go like right now
Wait.. I'm sorry I had a hard time understanding the sentence. Your saying that the administration said they were going to remove the "Forum Star" title?Quote:

Get ready for abuse of the reputation system.
I will refrain from posting negatively, and wait for another admin/mod to answer the question.
The staff room is for staff discussion. If you want to be included in this you will have to hope for being named a mod.
yo can i be one please :)
With new admin comes change.
It may be bad, it may be good.
It remains to be seen.
(what a pointless reply)
RATE IT!!!
At this time we are not accepting applications. We believe we have the moderation duties handled.Quote:

Like I said, we have the reputation system so start using it....
Good luck ad-lib.Quote:

nice summary.... if you'd like to be considered for a staff spot take it up with the current staff. I will not be making any staff decisions.
Alright.
Is Busyman banned? Or is that his custom member title? :huh:
read his latest posts... completely negative with no help.
a good example of what I previously said would be reason for a 24 hour ban.
We're sorting through things and instead of taking the whole forum down we're working on it while its up. We will not be tolerating crap while we're working hard at fixing everything up.
Oh, ok.
Well I just tried adjusting your reputation Krohn, it would appear that yours is disabled...Quote:

so did u discuss the removal of "Forum Star" with the staff?Quote:

I think its a tad messed up to get rid of this post, cos after all, these people are the respected, ex-mods and people who generally are loved by the board.
I think the Forum Stars should come back. its just 2 show some respect 2 people who had put alot of time on this board in the past.
cant u do it, being admin?
Yes I can but I would first discuss it with the other team members !!Quote:

Just to clarify something that may have happened before you came, "Forum Stars" (I always thought to be badly named actually) was the group that was made up of Ex-Moderators of the board, who had put alot of time and effort into moderating the board over a considerable time, and "done their duty" so to speak; to recognise their commitment and dedication to the smooth running of the forum, this group were allowed to be actively part of Team Chat and helped with decisions, etc, or so I believe.Quote:

If you don't want them looking at team chat then fair enough but I think some sort of custom group for those that have been mods in the past is not out of the question.
I realise you have a lot to do, but when the dust settles I hope you will consider replacing their status. It's kind of a respect thing.
They can be made again using a new usergroup. I'm sure the admins have a few more important things to deal with first though and I doubt the few existing stars (such as VB or Paul) wouldn't quibble too much about being made to wait a while :)

Yes?
As for actual forum stars (the graphics used to represent post counts) they can be added too (and the Karma thing disabled if needed) :)

It starts to look like Krohn is hijacking this forum :o
The least thing that could have done was to nicely inform the forum stars of this decission.
Nice moves Krohn....
do i get banned now too :01:
I re-added Forum stars. If anyone disagrees PM me.
