This does not solve whole guilds and professions targeting another guild or profession's posts. BELIEVE ME I have seen this in action.

Thanks!
Hmm, folks with alternate accounts can 5 star themselves and 1 star the folks they don't 'like'.
I'd like to see some sort of system where those who just blatantly 1 star 'everyone' have less clout. And those who 5 Star the same poster over and over as 'self star buffing'.
Kind of a neat system, but I'm just concerned it will be abused a bit. Not sure what you could do to prevent it though. It's a more interesting system then current

Personally, I think the Star Ranking system is useless and too many 1 star bandits.
Community Ranking should NOT be based on star ranking at all.
As far as the Ranks themselves go, it's a nice touch.

She even got a quoted on the Ultima 7th anniversary box.
That's all this system will promote. Cliques and cheerleaders.

Excellent point

Out of curiosity, why is the starring of dev and administrator posts disabled, GarVa? If you truly believe that the star system works and that stars are a good reflection of a post's quality, then I'd think that you'd want to see how many stars your posts are receiving.

Sounds Good. Question is when is this going to be put in placed?

Ok.
I'm not so sure what the problem with figure out the rating system is. It's basic math.
You take 5 numbers, and take an average of them. Then you start adding numbers to average...The more numbers you get, the less effect individual numbers take effect, therefore needing a greater number to affect the overall result.
As for the previous posters stating that they should fix the game...>GarVa wrote on an earlier page....HE DOES NOT WORK ON THE GAME. He works on the forum. It's a completely different part. Stop telling GarVa to fix the game. He can't, and he even said more or less, he doesn't have the programming skills to even try. He's, again..JUST A FORUM ADMIN.
Sorry.
Had to say it...because I am tired of seeing all the questions and demands that GarVa fixes the game.

I'm sorry if this sounds overly critical, but 'Why?'
As compared to so many other issues that plague the game, the sheer fact that making 'pretty' changes to the forum, yet again, seems kinda like a waste of time and resources.
How does this do anything for the game? I'd rather see your efforts directed elsewhere.

yes ... I say why not worry about fixing the game .... nice idea, but waste of resources on what is really needed.

Sorry if someone has pointed this out but:
You state that one ranking 'tree' is non-star related yet both have ranks that are dependent on star ratings ...
