Are *'s taking it too far?

[La Brujita]

I didn't mean to be rude. I apologize. I was just trying to state a fact, I could have done it a bit more politely.

i don't think it deserves a *, it's fine to talk about such things. but i did update the rules to include a link to my feedback thread so that people won't start new ones if their questions generally relate to me.

What I'm curious about is why people don't use the stars at the bottom of the thread to rate it instead of typing them in as replies. The rating thing at the bottom is way cooler.

*'s are a strike system, people are given *'s because astroglide deems the posts not worthy. If someone gets 3 they are banned from all of 2+2.

Oh. I thought the stars under people's names were for good posters like the ones at the bottom. Everything makes a lot more sense now.

I set my line according to all posts that have or will be made in the thread. As long as this thread stays near the top, I have little doubt that someone will post something that's over the line.

I have been more circumspect with what I'm willing to post since I earned my "astro-isk", so it's working, if that is the goal.

Well with your tolerance to this post, I am suspect that my original argument is flawed. When I made this post I expected to get a star for it, proving just how unjust the star system was. It appears i completely misjudged you, bravo.

Your avatar is slightly dissapointing. In fact it is the worst one on two plus two. Every time I see it I get very angry. Change it.

If I was the mod, at this point I would meet your expectations.

I like the * system. I hate it when every post in the forum has somebody else calling for the OP to get a *.
