Choose the null vote because I don't care either way. It overall shouldn't make a bloody bit of difference to a single soul. If it does, they have their priorities seriously sideways.

I think I left my "caring" bit in the toilet, along with the rest of my crap. These forums could be stolen for all I care.

alot of people think the stars should go! i agree.

Well, I'm not so sure how I feel about this, however I do know that before the big ol 'spam problem' since the forums changed, I used to take into consideration how many posts/stars someone had to mean they at least were really active in the forums here, and perhaps they had something worth reading/ingesting. Since that's pretty much been thrown out the window with the amount of stupidity thrown on here by a choice few, I'd have to say yea lets get rid of all the stars and posts. At least to us 'non-moderators' and whatnot. It's not like we get some huge promo or anything once we get 1 million posts.

Just my two cents, perhaps I need to wait for change.

Personally, I'm not that bothered about it. Back on the old forums, there used to be the odd nonsense post for the 50/100/200, etc., but I think it's the people, not the stars, at fault. This place used to be full of links to interesting sites, thought provoking discussions and so on. Can't we have some of that back instead of 15 threads of "1 dont sppamm!!!!!!!111 1 dont!111 reely!!"^15000.

Moreover, just reading the post in the serious discussion section shows quite clearly who is posting with any authority and who's not.

But yeah, with the spamming and the ensuing flamewars, post counts are just a tad pretty weird.
