some combination

I think it's this, cause I looked at some lower-starred people and the range on post/like values was quite vast. Potentially there could be some "date created" weights as well, cause that'd be the most logical thing when trying to fight off spam from literally newborn accs.

🧠💯

I won't share too much since it's placeholder and will change, but it is a combination of some things to prevent spam.

@Depraved is correct. In its current form, this is just something in place to combat spam.

guess i would have to not ignore their posts to know that then I got several monkeys ignored the forums are better off this way!

Less spam = better forums

These Ranks shouldn't impact or affect your ability to communicate if you've already been communicating on the forums.

My 6* self prevents me from talking to all of these plebeians

@Vaknar can you make it so i dont see their posts in replies too so I dont have to ignore more people?

the forums are 100% better not wasting time conversing with certain people I found.

Ith all yokes. Hope this system works to stop that spamming dumbass. The only bad part of the forums in recent times.

it's a serious request and statement. There's a huge flaw in the ignore feature.

If you cant visually see the flaw in this then I dont know what to tell you

It shows the important part

@Vaknar the quote should minimally be hidden or with a spoiler filter similar to the ignore feature

Seems to be a spam and semantics rating for those who like to carry on needlessly for 20 pages

The important question is, can we take this pointless thread to 20 pointless pages? I believe in us!

You are legit being toxic

Now that we know what the stars are, I'm going to close this thread

Happy Holidays, Verrans! Can't wait to see many of you in Verra next year

Seems like the star ranks are a lie and excuse to implement special treatment to the real spammers since they have a timer in place to prevent spam and posting.... Needed to Prevent Spamming... right. it's 1990's and these forums run off GeoCities code lol

Just in-case people were curious, they deleted my first post within 10 seconds...

No, the level system is built in to Vanilla Forums and has many functions - including giving permissions to some people basee on level, and acting as one aspect of a spam prevention program (it is not a complete program in itself). All of what it can do is configurable, and Intrepid have already moved on from the default settings - as far as I can see there are no added permissions

If you go out looking for conspiracies as to what else it coule be doing, you'll find them. It's really easy to look at something and assume the reasons for it are vastly different to what they actually are. This is especially true right now when Intrepid don't have all the settings they want dialled in.
