QUOTE: Originally posted by ChrisJH666 It's all very well when you've got three or four thousand posts to be suggesting moving the goalposts, but there are members out there I'm sure for whom gaining that next star means something, and who might just be getting close to their next only to see it disappear into the distance again. Also, there are many members who enjoy posting in the forums, but who may not be anywhere near as prolific as others, and would therefore never see their rankings increase within a reasonable timescale. Also, the are members who may have only just gained their next star. How would they feel at being "demoted" again suddenly?? Unless there is a new ranking system above the present one, I feel we just have to accept the system as it is and accept that there will one day be a day when those with 5 stars vastly outnumber all the others put together
QUOTE: Originally posted by Woody I agree. Then number of people with more than a star or two is a very small minority. Maybe a sixth star or different colored stars after 5000 posts is in order.

QUOTE: Originally posted by leemitcheltree Don't change the bar for those with fewer than 1k or 2k - just do something creative with the stars for the 3k, 4k, 5k members. I can recall the anticipation of nearing the 4 stars..........there's a lot of members getting near the mark - we can't pull the rug out from under them.
QUOTE: Originally posted by zokissima I'd say just add more ranks. And with those benchmarks set up top, I'd say the admins are pretty safe for a while. Only a bare few members are around the 5000 post mark. Imagine how long it'd take to get 10000 or even 50000? Even if you spam, that's still a pretty crazy number. If someone gets that high, it really shows a very deep level of commitment to this site, and they'd deserve more than just an icon next to their name.

QUOTE: Originally posted by renarts I'd like to think that you guys are participating on the site for more than just stars... It's one thing to post and communicate with everyone, but to do it for the post count it becomes mechanical rather than communicative. Which explains the forum games in OT. I was wondering how folks were posting so much and a quick peek in there explains it all. Why not do away with the stars and just communicate. Seems I know most of you from your participation and the information exchanged, not how many stars you have next to your name. That said....can I have kill stickers instead of stars??????????
