Stars based on years at Neowin?


Recommended Posts

I think it would be really cool to base the stars system on how long you've been a member, not how many posts you have. All these post ###### are driving me crazy getting 1000 posts in a few months. Ugh! Anyways what do you admins think? Is it even possible?

the stars are supposed to be a reward for participating and helping, we have the date of joining in the left tab.

does it really matter anyways? people who help out and make useful posts get the respect they deserve

that doesnt answer my question...

im serious here, I left neowin for half a year, when I came back we had these fancy fare stars.

And you say there based on neowinians making useful and contributing posts, so can you vote or rate members now can you?

I actually thought you had to be joking.

Here you go then

Tyler said they were based on useful posts.

The rating or "Karma" system has been discussed in a few threads here, or offered as an alternative in a couple, would be a cool idea IMO.

Who knows what the future may bring :)

Yeah I figured you thought I was joking, but yeah. Cheers for that.

Well my next question then becomes

Why hasnt my neowin title been changed?

Ive always left it as the default that gets changed in relation to post counts, and obviously because so many members now have several thousand posts I see the custom titles have been increased/changed.

Mine should read neowin wise one according to this, yet its still stuck on the oldscale neowin god, I went to profile and tried to set it back to default but it doesnt appear to have changed it....

If it was even changed once it never cycles.

I tried setting mine back to default just before I hit 1337 to see if it changed to that" joo is teh" etc and it just stayed the same.

You just have to manualy change it now.

Rewarding useful posts probably wouldn't work in practice

What one person thinks is a useful post, another might think is total crap. Who would decide what is useful and what is not? It would have to be mods and imagine how hard/time consuming it would be.

I think they would make it so you can only vote good and not bad :)
