Any reason that I would lose a forum star? Pretty sure I was at 4. Now 3?
Is it something I did? Something I said? Not sure what happened.
Oh well, any donations of insightfuls, agrees, or awsomes to help repair this will be welcomed
By the way, you guys look really good today! And you're all very interesting. And good at ESO. And your DPS is SO HIGH! Your heals are UNMATCHED! BEST. TANKS. EVER!

✭My guess is maybe a thread you posted in got deleted, and with it a collection of insightfuls/agrees/awesomes that might have accompanied your posts.
I had that happen to me a year or two ago on some silly, but not relevant thread about potatoes. I posted something uncharacteristically funny and got an abnormal amount of awesomes. I was surprised one day to see my "awesome' tally had dropped considerably. Found out the thread had not only been locked, but also deleted by forum mods.
Not saying that's true in your case, but might be a possibility.Feric51

At time of posting this you are at 365 points. 4 stars is 500 points, so you have lost at least 135 points.Any reason that I would lose a forum star?
It's likely a thread or two got deleted as @Feric51 said.
Another way to lose points, though unlikely to have occurred in this case since you've lost a lot of points,
is if someone hit report at the bottom right on any of your posts.
If a report is followed through, you lose 1 pointEdited by Thormar on January 9, 2019 2:32PMWhat if I go north? Disappear.

Anyone know any good grind spots for forum stars?PS4 NA4 -

✭✭✭✭✭As others said the most likely reason would be posts being deleted. Have you had any PM's from the moderators stating you have had posts deleted due to content?
I know ZOS rarely deletes a whole thread and instead just archives them in a hidden section, that's why even if a thread vanishes your forums points don't change. However I don't actually know what happens when a post is deleted as it's been a long time since I annoyed the mods enough to warrant that.

No, no PM's. But thank you for checking in, was just curious about what the deal was and if others had experienced anything similar. Hopefully it was just some old deleted stuff.
Guess I better get commenting.

To be fair, if your post isn't out of line, but is directly responding to a post that was in violation, then yours can get eaten without incurring a warning. That's happened to me more than once.3 -

That makes sense, I did a lot of commenting on the "jumping should cost stamina" debate of 2018. It could be something silly like that, or a number of other things because things like that make me laugh and I can't help but say stuff.PS4 NA3 -

I would agree. I didn't look to see how close he was to the next star threshold. I just know it was something that had happened to me in the past. Didn't affect my stars, just noticed the points vanished with a deleted post.Feric51
