OOT. Time for a change.

[NT!]

I think it might be time to retire the * system. Just use temp bans and lock threads and allow the cruelty, malice and brilliance of OOT to weed out the weak and unworthy.

This has been in the back of my mind for a while. The only major problem is I just got this sweet avatar from Five Star.

Thoughts?

Less locking, more stars, less dick-waving, bring back Survivor.

Survivor sucks. There seem to be three possibilities:

1) It's a competition between two posters who are kind of worthwhile, in which case, why get rid of either of them?

2) It's a competition between two posters who suck, in which case, why not get rid of both of them?

3) It's a competition between a poster who is good and a poster who sucks, and then it just turns into a mean-spirited gangbang that leads to the weaker poster getting tossed. You could just boot that guy in the first place.

Survivor, but not for good posters -- that's self-defeating.

I fully support a retiring of the * system.

If you get rid of the star system, the terrorists have won.

Nt,

you already lock too many good threads etc, just keep the pretty benign star system in place. Your overzealousness + lack of real consequences in regards to * = a good balance.
