As cool as it is too see those little stars pop up next to your name as you post more I think maybe you should ditch this rating system.  Or maybe just remove the post total so all of a sudden you get another star or something.... 
 
Just ask cause it looks to me like another person is spamming the boards with things to get more stars.  I could be wrong (I am most of the time) but looks to me that 1 person posting half the topics for the day is a bit much....  Especially since like 3-4 of them were on the same subject and could have been put into 1 post pretty easily.  Oh well, just my thoughts. 
 
PS: I think maybe somone already posted about this?  I forget... Im old and my brain is leaving me.  If this was already posted then I appologize and I am spamming also and U should immediately Kick me!!!  ^_^

heh. i remember oldskool doing the exact same thing to get more stars. i dont doubt that if anyone does that again, silver will make it so they have to post a bajillion times before they get any stars. so not a good idea kids. dont be so impatient. earn your stars like everyone else here.

Believe it or not the stars do promote people to post and reply to messages, thus engage in converstation. I agree they do also encourge crap posts, but I normally delete these. I also like the fact people can get proud of their number of posts it sort of tells you what people know what. But I agree I don't want it to turn into a message board of useless babble, it that happens I would remove the star system.
