Feedback- yes, team forums, no.

I may be wrong, but I believe that Mods/Admins have the power to mark posts as "un-useful" if they're just spam to get more stars.

If by "mark" you mean "delete permanently with a possibility to ban the originating poster," then that is indeed a power granted to the mods.

This has been going on forever, it's not new. But those stars don't bring happiness. Helping people do well can make you happy. Be happy. Don't spam.

I've actually realized what I spammer I am (was, I hope), all because I wanted more stars. I mean, over 500 posts in the off season? Something is wrong here.
I think I need to curb my "respond respond more stars more stars" instinct.
