It's a very cool idea. But recently I've noticed quite a few people spamming, but doing it within the rules. Like in some threads they'll simply say:
"Yeah."
"No."
"LoL."
In each post they make, just to keep bumping. Even if it keeps the conversation going, it's still............not an in-depth post. And the real spammers will have an absolute field day, as well as the people who are so obsessed with popularity that they feel they just have to have the highest rating so they can brag about it.
Those people need to be dealt with. People will reply with "mmmm bread" for no reason. In my view, it's not needed, but if it were implemented, it could work if we had enough moderators to stop those people from ever posting again.
True. And I know the person you're talking about, LoL.
Yeah, those "spammers" can get annoying sometimes, especially when a Thread dies and you think it's finally gone only to see someone reply "Yeah. I agree."
Now it's back at the top of Page 1. Hooray [/sarcasm]
But more enforcement could take care of that, yes. But the problem with this "rank" system is all about.....pride.
Lets say someone with 4 stars is in an arguement with someone with 1 star. The 4-star member will no doubt not look at him the same as if he were a, say, 5-star member, correct? This will probably be the case with a system like this. And then you have the "active" posters (and by active I mean spammers) who will bully people around because they simply think they can, based on the amount of stars they have.
What I think should go in that space is an online/offline kind of thing. I would think it'd be perfect (but the moderators can't have one, we all know why.)
I also have a few more ideas for what I think should go there as well. But I'd rather discuss the "rank" issue, to see if there's any way to improve it from spammers/elitists.
