What the star all about??

Star readings are given around the hundred post mark. It is usually the same day that you hit 100 post. Your rating is dependent upon the quality and intelligence of your post. Short post answers that do not give a lot of detail result in a lower rating then post that take a good deal of thought. The reality is that the quality of your posts is that key to being successful here. The misconception that the number of posts increases your earnings is one that scars the reputation of this WebSite. You need to be focused on providing interesting quality discussion to receive the highest ratings and maximize your earnings. This reality is hard for many people to grasp until they experience the drop in earnings when they only are concerned with number of posts

You get a star by your name after you've posted replies to 100 discussions. The number in the star is your average rating to the replies that you've posted.
