This is just an idea to help stop spamming. Instead of people getting rank in stars by the amount of posts we make, maybe we should get rank on how long the person has been here or something like that. Again this is just an idea so please don't flame me :alien:

errrr....ye maybe, maybe not
but the reason some other members got more stars is bcoz they particpate more in this forum
like a reward for being active

same goes in the online game itself
you play more, you win/lose more and at the same time you earn points

simple as that... :)

I dont think it will reduce spamming, some people just do it to annoy...but I like how the rank is set up now.

no blood.

it's not cause they participate more, it's cause they spam more. stars arn't rewards. for some ppl, it just shows how much spamming you do. *COUGHCOOLPLAYERCOUGH*

I don't think the rank of the people who are already registered at this forum should be erased, but whatever rank you are at now the stars would continue in the new system. Again this is just an idea :buttrock:

I think thats a good Idea but it wont stop spamming it will only reduce it a little. People are still going to spam just to be complete idiots.

What does it matter how many stars you have???
It doesnt matter. Its like ohh i have 3 stars im better then you. well i have 5 im better then you. It really doesnt matter all that matters is that you amke good topics and help ppl. That will make you popular. Not ur stars.

I know that. Thats not what im saying at all. I'm saying some people spam just to get the star rank. I'm not saying anyone is better than anyone else. :buttrock:

I know that, but this is to help keep people from spamming so TMy and the other mods don't have to ban as many people.Remember this is just an idea. ;)

why not do it in the style of www.gamefaqs.com?

For each day that you logged into the forum, you get one "karma" (think of it as one point towards the next rank). We could do it so that you get 1 point for every day that you log onto the forums.

How about this idea (nicked from another forum): Kudos (http://coolsigforum.com/kudos.htm)

I'm not sure how easy it is to implement though...
