  I recall Ken saying that the reputation normalizes over time but I also recall him saying that you'll never lose stars. That said, I recall someone saying they've lost a star. So, *shrug* But if the reputation is normalized over time, getting five posts with 10 greens in one day counts a lot more than five posts with 10 greens spread over a month. |

 I lost my star once after being banned from the forum. So apparently, it can happen |  |  |  |  |  | Blu-ray collection DVD collection

 After submitting the first lolcats on this forum... months before the thread... I received a star. A few years later I was called an evil word by a favorite of the management. I objected to the term I was called, received one red arrow for the objection and more than a dozen green arrows... and lost my one star. I objected to my treatment, received many green arrows and my star was restored. So I trudge along, supporting community and trying to be the guy I hope to be. Oh, I no longer visit the contributors' forum. It's not good for my blood pressure. |  |  |  |  |  | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

 I honestly don't know. What this plugin does (it's early beta but works just fine for me) is adding a small button that looks like a youtube play button to your menu bar. When you activate it and browse to a video that is blocked then it re-routes the request through a proxy server in another country and that often (not always though) makes the video available:  |  |  |  |  |  | Karsten DVD Collectors Online

 I gave up and removed it again.
 Your choice.... Because at no time in the entire history of the internet a web page has ever shown an error message when it worked half an hour before and will work in half an hour again.   |  |  |  |  |  | Karsten DVD Collectors Online
