Reacon Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Ok, I just subscribed and I miss my old neowin stars. Please revert it back so I may appear as a normal member, but unda cuvah. I want to keep the benefits it brings, I just don't want to look like everyone else... I donated to donate, not to brag. *recon415 out.

PL_ Veteran Posted August 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 9, 2008 But we consider Subscribers to be worthy of recognition, for supporting Neowin. Without subscribers, things would be much more difficult for us. It's people like you that are helping to keep this site going, and personally I feel that deserves a badge.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted August 9, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2008 I think it is in the script to show your badge... and there isn't much they can do without locking you out of the certain things, like your blog, or 168. Be proud to wear that badge, and not your stars :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG- Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Could have a new super Subscriber badge with stars! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted August 9, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2008 We actually at one point had stars and the badge. But somewhere during the switch to Neowin 5, they were removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budious Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 What do the stars mean anyways? Just a representation of post count or what? So you don't want to draw attention to your subscriber status so you create a threat just to accent the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMann Veteran Posted August 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 9, 2008 We actually at one point had stars and the badge. But somewhere during the switch to Neowin 5, they were removed We did, but I think it wasn't added back in because at the time it did look rediculous (user's had much bigger stars back then). Just leave it as it is now, people who Subscribe deserve recognition which is brought on by the badge. JMann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeNothingBack Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I can understand why you would want your post count to be shown. Anyone can subscribe but someone who has been a chronic poster is someone who is loyal, despite having money to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vivicidal- Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 What do the stars actually represent, because I've been on 3 for a long time, then I went on holiday and didn't post for a month but I am still on 3, hence I'm a little confused as to how they are calculated. PS I thought they represented average posts/day, correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
