So it seems that the infamously broken star system is going to be
operating on post count, instead of earned respect on the forum. Ill tell you right now, im going to be a total hardcase over spam postcount increasing threads. All this is going to do is promote spam for the sake of gaining another star, so be warned, i WILL be kicking uhmm...rear...and taking names. Until/unless Tippmann reverses this new system, this is the way it will be. Spam == death. -------------

You know a lot of people who got promoted made a thread about it back in the day, right? It isn't spam. I can't figure this out. This name has plat, but my other 3000+ name is standard. |

My other 4000+ name is suspended... consider yourself lucky -------------

No. Sniper has 3 PPD and he is platty, and I have 13 PPD, and I'm only gold. I think it is just 2000+ is gold, 3000+ is platty. I think the reason some names didn't get the up is becasue they probably only did it for users that have posted within a certain amount of time. |

no now it is "fixed" to Tippmann Sports L.C.C.'s idea of how it should be...... And today is friday.... That means its going to be this way all weekend. -------------

Taking into consideration how long it took them to make any adjustments last time around; I'm almost positive it will be this way much longer then just this weekend. |

I'd get them to fix it quick. I didn't change.

| This is complete crap. Now the spammers that only clog up the forum with useless crap are gold and platinum, and people like Darur, for example, who actually contribute to the forum, are bumped back down to standard. |

You guys were gold?
I guess star count just became so meaningless that I never really paid attention to it. |
