righteousness issue

Buy loads of training walls and it shouldn't happen anymore.

My rating used to drop every time I leveled up, and sometimes just randomly. I remember waiting and waiting to get tagged so I could clean it and get the rating back up. (Probably less of a problem now that most people are going for spray cans; clean a bit of graffiti and it'll go right back up.)
Then I unlocked the training wall, surrounded Fat Tony's compound with them, and never had a problem again.

No graffiti. Been on game all day while doing rejig.
I bought 10 walls before posting this and it went up 1 star.

No. All main carectors are idle or 12 hours. Only tasks running are the 6 new premium carectors I got yesterday and they not doing much.

I think if you're top level you need 14-16 training walls, at least. (I have 18, but that's because I need that many for my decorating purposes.) Buy a few more and log out and back in and set if that helps. Sorry, that's all I can think to do.

Well it took 22 training walls but its back up again.
Bit strange that though. All ways been top stared and not had that many walls for a while now.

Thanks all.

Wow I have 12 I think, have you tried storing some you might not need that many

I finally decided it's best to just buy the training walls. In my opinion, they are the easiest thing to hide.

Also - it's my understanding that there are two ways that graffiti lowers your rating. One is by receiving graffiti and not cleaning it up in a timely fashion. The other is to leave graffiti in your neighbor's town. I've had to buy more training walls because I like being a good neighbor and leaving graffiti in my neighbor's town so they can earn extra FP.

Righteousness is glitchy & sometimes doesn't work properly - hence when you get it reset down to 0 again.

The Jail, SWAT Van, Police Station and Training Wall all give 10pts to Righteousness. At the top level, you need 173pts to 5* it - so if you have 15+ Training Walls (and the other 3 main buildings) you should be right, regardless of how much Sideshow Bob roams or graffiti is left.

*Also - character tasks do not affect righteousness.

I'm not positive but I thought I read somewhere that the church tasks some of the characters can do can also increase righteousness. When the friend point system started, I started getting graffitied alot and my righteousness dropped. I now keep about 5 or 6 characters on the 12 hour church task and my righteousness has returned to and stayed at five stars.

Not true, unfortunately. No tasks affect the Righteousness rating, not going to church nor jail-time. (On the flipside, Snake can rob as many stores as he wants, and Legs & Louie beat up on shopkeepers and it won't affect it at all!!).

Only graffiti (left uncleaned in your town, or you leaving in others') and failing to catch Sideshow Bob (in your town or when you visit friends) drop Righteousness. The game coding says as much, as multiple people delving into it can report.

The reading is occasionally problematic, with it dropping to 0 sometimes, seemingly arbitrarily. It's glitchy, but with Training Walls you're guaranteed not to drop below the points they provide, so you'll always be safe at 5*.
