It's because you don't post enough. The administrator decdided to demote and premote people based on their post rank. If you work hard enough in the next 6 months, you might just be promoted right back. -------------

To simulate the real world corporate environment, they took your long-time, well earned star and gave it to some suck-up whelp who hasn't found a use for half the keys on his keyboard.
That sucks man. At least you can still get into Regs, for what that's worth, and everybody who should remember you does. -------------

It's got to be some screw up. You haven't been gone nearly as long as some people and you title is still intact. Reclusive will live on.
If they're seriously basing rank on posts? That's pretty lame. Spam anyone? -------------

Because it doesnt mean anything. Especially now that they are based on posts.
I look at the posts content rather than a members status. Also some of you shouldnt get your hopes up, while the stars may be based on number of posts, a mod can edit post count. HELLO SPAM! |

prefered. I liked the fact that I was gold and that I had to be promoted into it. Now that I'm plat, it just doesn't feel the same. -------------
