sys32 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted January 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 28, 2004 does it really matter anyways? people who help out and make useful posts get the respect they deserve Amen. Exactly how many people actually go "OMG! Look how many stars he has!"? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Ive been wondering this for a while now actually so the stars are based on post counts are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaise Veteran Posted January 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 28, 2004 lol @ Osiris tsk tsk @ Mike that would certainly make for a lot of peeps with 0 posts and lots of stars :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go then Neowin FAQs https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...=0entry858567 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 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....

Blaise Veteran Posted January 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 28, 2004 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.

hornett Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I like the system they have on a couple of boards I've seen where you can reward useful posts, and the amount of stars you have is based on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
