Can we 'opt out' of karma titles and stars?
My vote is no karma titles and stars.
As much as I have loved giving birth to each and everyone of my sparklies, I remember back to my first days on C4 and how intimidating they can appear to newbies.

But.. if the majority vote yes..
How about karma titles based on either being gaga or joy

Maybe if I am still here in 6 and a half years Dobs
I don't see the need for them - I vote we opt out
Karma/Stars are fun. Let's have them!
Oops, did I disagree with the general concensus? Doh, I keep doing that.
Assuming we still show a post count its not going to matter really is it.
I agree that stars and titles are intimidating to newbies, and I don't mind if we don't have them.
I suggest a poll!

I quite like them in a way but not hugely fussed either way
I would vote to get rid so no point in my suggesting any karma titles.
Seeing as the end goal of gagajoyjoy.com is to have a community of fans then it makes sense to me to have levels of fan...
For example, 'groupee' (funny enough kinda fits in with the platform lol), through 'star', 'icon' blah, blah
My two pennies worth anyway

A karma system or not? How about a Big Brother eye changing size and colour as progression is made?

I'd say no to both karma and stars
I want a picture of a bum
I am going with a preference for no Karma/Stars..
Quantity isn't always quality
plus it can cause a bit of friction, as I think we've seen on the old forums from time to time

Nah not at all lass, i think they are a waste of time and some look at it like a competition.
New forum and we have all joined at the same time, everything is fresh, so lets get rid of post counts.
Not being a prolific poster, I'm not that fussed. But should there be a poll I'd vote
against them.
I'm just chuffed to know that we can now all
stay in touch.
PS ~ wish we had a few more smileys tho.
I don't have the techy skills to import.

Can have something else instead of stars?

I think postcount helps on the troll spotting side of things though. I'm not fussed about the stars
I spent years trying to get a big star (and never got one). Let's keep the stars!!
I vote neigh on the Karma/stars. And maybe lose the post count after 100/500. So that you know new people (don't ignore them) but after a set ammount of posts I see no need to count them.

Perhaps someone could set up a poll in the main BB section? I would but I'm bound to miss out an option, even if there's only two
I say no stars or karma. New members feel funny about posting when they are new. It looks less intimidating without them.
I vote for no Karma or Stars.
Why not have a box in the profile so we can make up our own titles (within reason)?

All for no karma or stars. At best it won't make anyone seem overly 'important' at worst it will prevent spamming to get your post count up. I'd happily have no post count too btw.
Base it on levels of mentalness
seriously tho...I agree to none
I vote for some sort of Karma system.
Me Reasons are
If it werenât for you guyâs who post throughout the year, the forum I donât think would have been as successful as it was. Up until recently I only went on C4 BB when it was on, as soon as the winner was announced I was off until the following year like a lot of FMâs. It was only after CBB 6, I used to poke my head in for a quick peep and the very rare odd post.
If it werenât for you guyâs posting throughout the year the forum would have closed without any of us being aware of it. I would have just logged on at the start of BB10 and found you all gone.
Thatâs all I have to say.

to be quite honest if you get intimidated by anothe rusers stars it's pathetic, when I first joined C4 forums and users had 60,000 or more posts I looked up to them and wanted to follow in ther footsteps, don't be so silly suggesting to get rid of karma title, at the end of the day why would anyone in their right mind get intimidated by just a number like please

Yep it makes everything way more fun and magical, it was the biggest and greatest thing about the C4 Forums and imo is why the C4 Forums were so popular, why do you think there were so many people posting in the games forum over there.

This made me laugh. I am ashamed of my immaturity.
I am not bothered either way but I did like seeing the little stars getting bigger
I would rather have the choice of any avatar i want and not some star there

I second what Marge said... it did sometimes add to the fun, when a new level was near
