The stars that once displayed in a members profile ceased to exist. Most of you probably never used the feature but we decided their removal was in the forums' best interests. After months of complaints we could just no longer put up with it. This will also put a definitive end to the infamous 'Star Wars' which were the main reason of so many complaints. This will change your experience in the forums very little but we still wanted you to be informed of this decision.

Good to see, for such a small feature they've caused way too many issues. Good riddance really.

Aw, and I just gave Dauth 5 stars :P
Nah, I don't really care if it's there or not, so I won't miss them either :)

'Star Wars'? You gotta be kidding me. How desperate does someone have to be to give a toss about stars, let alone 'punish' someone by reducing
their star rating? I would have expected this kind of immature reaction from Gametrailers users, but oh wow...Anyway, good call, I suppose. I never
realised that these stars would be such a problem but they were never that important either...

There were cases of people grouping together and/or making multiple accounts to lower the star rating of someone. It's in the past now, however.

``grouping together and/or making multiple accounts to lower the star rating of someone´´

Now that's just miserable...and laughable at the same time.

Okay, I didn't even realise these things existed, but whatever. Sounds like you made the right call with that sort of abuse of the system.

If this thread wasn't made I probably wouldn't have noticed anything was missing, so I'm really indifferent to the subject.

Hmm, oh well...not that it affected how I thought about the people of this forum anyway. I noticed I had stars but I did not care.

Finally. Now no one has a reason to cry that one of their precious stars has "fallen" or use that fact against someone they think might have caused a star of theirs to fall.
