How about this, if anything were going to change at all.....
How about Non stars could give out as many recs as they got so far? So lets say you have 2 recs as a non-star... you could give out 2. The better posts a non-star writes, the more recs they get... the more recs they could give.
I still say recs have nothing to do with your chess skill... and I've been here almost 2 years and won't have 10,000 moves for some time to come... yet here I sit with 300+ recs, cuz some people like what I've had to say.
Change might be needed, but I have not seen anything written yet to support that only 'good chess players' or ‘more active chess players’ should be giving out the recs.

Is everyone recommending their own post, or are you getting rec'd by someone else?
Nope, out of interest I tried to see if a 'period' would be recommended, seems however this ship has sailed. Tough crowd.
Personally I think the only real way to have the system not be prone to abuse is to not record the total number of recs someone has. That way posts of merit will be recced and there won't be this all out quest for recs that can be seen around the place. Of course anyone with a good rec count is likely to disagree with this.
