I THOUGHT I HAD ALL THAT TROPHY STUFF DISABLED AND HIDDEN! D:<
Trophies are completely useless as a function to the site AND are unsustainable to update effectively. For anything that isn't some automated stat on the forum, a person would have to award the trophy and that requires time and effort for something that really doesn't add anything to the site besides bragging rights.
Which is why we disabled them. We have pretty much disabled any superfluous status symbol that doesn't add something to the site. o__o The stars are there out of necessity. The Donator ribbon is there cause it makes people want to donate to get one. (and that is quite nice for Iwaku!) Post counts are only viewable on profiles and the members list cause a lot of members love seeing how many posts they've made over the years.
And it's true that people will always find a reason to brag and put themselves above others - but it's also true that the more options you have that they can brag over, the more common that nonsense will be. @___@
