I think that to be an advanced member you should have 1000 posts, 500 is a little easy to get. 
what ya think?

On the other hand, some of us don't post a lot. It took me a fair amount of time to gain these stars.

i think it should be upped but only to like 700/800, 1000 is a bit too much 
 
what came first the sh!tty drugs or the sh!tty rave music!

i agree, but the thing is, all those that spammed to get stars, would only spam more to get the stars back, not what we need...

Maybe a reduction would be better, or no status at all.  At least this way you'll minimise the pointless posts people do to attain a higher status. Really, what are stars?  The higher the level of status there is to be achieved, the more crap people will post just to get there!

yeah, but in actual fact a newbie and an advanced member doesn't mean much except in regards to high postage. If different member status had different rights/authorities then I'm sure people would complain.

I think it would be cool if the 5th star was a anti-spam-star, so you only get it if you dont spam :)

I think the system is fine, 500 post wasnt easy, i've been here for ages, I got appointed mod at 350post. Its easy to see whos who in here just by what they write in a post.

Can't agree more with this.  So many people with silly one-liner replies (which aren't even funny) or just useless banter all in the name of getting more posts and more stars.  If it didn't track your posts at all then some of the spamming would stop. 
People will say that the number of posts shows how long u have been around and what kind of seniority u should have. For some this is true but for many it isn't. 
I think if the whole stars and post tracking system were tossed out it would be better for the site. Its not like respect for certain knoweldgeable indviduals would be lost because suddenly they dont have their 2000 posts to show how much they have contributed to the site.
