Yes, I have seen some of the stuff people have done on other forums to increase their status (create threads then proceed to post "spam" 400 times in them (BAD
)), but I highly doubt we'll find anyone on this forum who will stoop to that level. This is not exactly a public internet community like most places where random people can do whatever they want and no one will ever meet them face to face, so they don't really care. Here, almost everyone knows everyone else and has seen them in person, so it's very unlikely people will do that. And even if they do, Brandon has complete control over this forum so there can be consequences. Plus, if you notice, at the bottom right corner of each post there is a link that says "report this post to a moderator". Random posters beware...
Also, those numbers I came up with were off the top of my head and can be changed really easily, heres another example:
- max table width = 100 pixels
- table height = 20 pixels
- star image width = 20 pixels
- star image height = 20 pixels
- 100 posts = 5 stars
- table width = #ofPosts
that way:
- 1 star = 20 posts
- 2 stars = 40 posts
- 3 stars = 60 posts
- 4 stars = 80 posts
- 5 stars = 100 posts
As you can see, these numbers can be easily customized.
[EDIT] Here is an example of one of these bars. It's not a table, it's a picture, but this is what one of them would look like. In this example, someone has 34 posts, one full star (20 posts) + a portion of another (14 posts):
