several of the cases of "ther rules are not being applyed" are either because there are no such specific rules, or a byproduct of negative pull. By having users bandwagon a topic trying to apply old rules and having staff jump to undo the damage it is pretty logical that the stronger staff pull will make the current rules to be under applyed.

Guys you've all ignored a very important point here.
I agree with Dave.
THE WORLD IS ENDING!

In other news, a monkey told me that postcounts and stars promote meritocracy which is somehow bad and therefore need to go away!
Besides having no real function.  Except for the "I'm a mod!" stars.

1-99 = 1 star
100-499 = 2 stars
500-999 = 3 stars
1000-1999 = 4 stars
2000-4999 = 5 stars
5000-9999 = 6 stars
Moar = OMG 6 rainbow stars !

Appeals to me and Val for now. Val likes stars. Titiln wants post count stars gone.

So for the next step I'm in favor of dropping the "stars for posts" completely and changing the layout to reflect Titiln's suggestion, while also keeping the titles that don't seem to serve a "real" purpse, however. Hmmmm?

Well of course they aren't needed. Life is full of things of stuff we don't need, but we like having them anyways -_-

The "karma" system miiiiiiight one day be activated after the system got a major update by SimpleMachines.

Not in its current form, although it can be great fun (I think it was a chat between Aztec, Titiln and me that remade Infantry's karma system into the honor, "medic" and "snipe" thing it still is today ;D).

Well, yeah, of course. (*uncertain* The "they" you talk about are post count stars?)

Mhh. We're the kind of sluts who like to de-emphasize post count by not displaying the number next to every post. Instead, currently still stars next to every post for rough orientation, and if you GOTTA know you GOTTA click to see the detailed profile and the number.

I realize that's unfortunate for sluts like you but, hm. So it goes. :-\

This was about Post Counts and somehow turned into a post stars debate. Skanks.

Funny, I was wondering when someone would bring the ultimate in e-penis attachments to the table in the form of karma.  ;D

I hope the Karma system doesn't get implemented. People will be getting sniped for no reason. Some people will take it personally and make topics asking "Why am I being sniped" or "Can someone give me a +1". We see that allot at MI. >_<
