My only question is...


WHEN ????


"Now" is not too soon.

Exactly, I would never have seen this had it not been for Tiggs reply making it appear. No good. Add all SOE reps to Dev Tracker please...

while i don't disagree that it was an agree or disagree use, thats really the idea's behind the star system... If you think its a good post, you agree... sometimes you'd star simiply a good post. For me it was how I read posts that the title didn't catch my eye. I think the system was good. Honestly if someone is feeling "grieved" over 1stars, they need to really rethink their life.


I say keep the useful tool. Keep the star system

I agree with time based ranks........but still allow the stars to be given......a lot of times stars (whether it's one star or five) denotes that the post has something substantial in it and others have either strongly agreed or disagreed.


you'll note that my post numbers and time on the boards is relatively short compared to many here.......

Despite the fact I've pretty good star rating (4.4 average I think), I'm glad to see it go. I agree it became nothing more than a 1 or a 5 type deal and a means of greifing.


Farewell star-rating, and don't let the door hit your arse on the way out

You are alive, GarVa. Haven't seen ya for awhile.

But anyhow, this is a nice change. The starring system has just become a form of greifing on the forums.

After over a year and a half The Star Rating system on the StarWars Galaxies Forum is saying farewell….


While in concept the system is a good Idea, it has not been used in a predominately positive way on our forums


The system is intended to be used to show how helpful a thread is and to occasionally weed out bad post. It has become a system of “I agree or Disagree” or “I like or Don’t Like You” and is used as a tool of grief.

What this change means for you?

1. You will no longer be able to rate posts
2. Those of you with “star granted” ranks WILL get to keep the use of your new icons. From now on though, those icons will instead be associated with the rest of the “time and post” based ranks.
3. The “Star Granted” ranks will be fit into the regular rank system (same titles and similar times)
4. This will not effect any “specialty” titles, and we may add more specialty titles in the future.
5. If you see a post that is inappropriate please make sure to use the “report to moderator” link.

Your welcome to submit your feedback for future consideration but please keep it civil.








I'll get one starred for this! BUT I DO NOT CARE! I like the 1-5 stars just fine! Yes, people use it to agree or disagree with posts. But thats the nice part of it! If there is a discussion going on (heated one) and the people are all over the board its nice to see a few hours of the stars shifting 1-4 and to see where the majority stand. ALso I like the ability to disagree with somebody. Without having to post!



Just my 2credits. GUess I'll take one of my last 1 stars with pride.....

Maybe let the correspondants, mods, etc. keep the star posts? I think it's a great way to find helpful posts that aren't stickied. It was also a way to find non-productive posts you didn't care to read.

In the trade forums, it was a great way to find good deals too. Someone with a really great price or selection was often 5-starred.
