Instead, how about a star for every 10,000 points? Half a star for every 5,000. So if I have 36000 points, that adds up to three and a half stars.
Just like the movie ratings, what?
So now that indicates:
* The member has been on ATS through thick and thin for a considerable period of time.
* Someone who has written quality posts which have earned him applauses from the mods which in turn have contributed to achieving those elusive
stars.
* This will also give an idea as to the number of replies he has received to all his posts.
In a nutshell, this will give an idea about the 'personality' of an ATSer. And it'll be clean, simple, unbiased, and honest. Probably save some
bandwidth too!! Bloody good idea, eh?
And oh yes, why not Silver stars instead of Gold stars? You get one Gold star for every 100,000 points. So if I have 112,000 points, I get to earn one
gold and one Silver star.
Simple eh? You bet! Now where the devil's my beer? Cheers!
