I'm not sure I understand this.... Are you saying people will tend to post nonsense in order to gain stars?
Nope, Mr.Sir.Cheese can i write in a bigger writing please sir, you may discuss this in your 5 star area with other 5 starers, thank you Mr.Sir.?
Well I guess this is what I get for having a real life away from the board. I didn’t even realize there were changes made to the star count until now. When did all this take place?
Stars....hmmmm......
This is what I think should be done.....
They should be awarded by the great high moderators, based on their wisdom and all seeing knowledge.
Each star being a badge of honour to be held up with pride for all to admire. They should be based on longevity, post count and quality of posts.
All awarding of stars should be made by the Mods, whose decision is final.
A special awards thread should be pinned to announce those lucky and truly grateful members who are to be awarded the weekly (or monthly) stars.
They should then be paraded around the board, held in high esteem by those members not good enough to be given the honour of star awards during that particular round of awards.
Those achieving 5 stars to be treated with reverence and respect by the lower order members....
Those with no or just one star should remember that to speak to a multi-starred member should allways be with deference to their superior status, the greater the number of stars, the more humbly low-starred members should conduct themselves....
That should sort it......
Methinks you've relegated me to one-star status, Sara.
My stuff wouldn't carry the day with the mods, I don't think; too radical.
