Default *s

One way or another, posters need to be made aware of why they are getting these. If this isn't done, they're just going to end up contacting all the OOT mods or asking about it in AtF later on anyway. Plus, it's hard for people to change their ways when they aren't sure what they've done. So please let them know.

That's not the point. Besides, people are still going to complain about getting them. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

What's acceptable is largely "Don't start threads that suck." I've seen sucky threads that got (and deserved) stars, but I assume the OP didn't know it sucked before submitting.

PMs for *s do seem reasonable, but mostly because I'm not the one who'll have to talk to hundreds of sucky posters. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It doesn't have to be a PM. Posting in the thread works too if it hasn't been deleted.

New Idea:

When someone asks why they got a star, tell them its a special gold star for being so awesome(sucky), and if they hit the magical 3rd star level they'll get a special prize(new account). So keep up the good work(sucky posting) as we'd like to reward(ban) as many of your type as possible(mass culling).

I've been doing this consistently, with only rare exceptions, and it's usually through PM. I think it's important for someone to know why they got a *.
