What do the star icons next to the user name stand for?
A star is awarded to a user once he/she posts a certain number of messages. Purposely spamming a message board with senseless or empty messages to gain more stars is HIGHLY frowned upon! Moderators have been known to ban a user and/or delete a user’s messages as punishment. If this happens, you will lose your stars! • 1 star is awarded at 50 posts. • 2 stars are awarded at 250 posts. • 3 stars are awarded at 500 posts. • 4 stars are awarded at 1000 posts. • 5 stars are awarded at 5000 posts. • 6 stars are awarded at 10000 posts. • 7 stars are awarded at 20000 posts. • 8 stars are awarded at 30000 posts. • 9 stars are awarded at 40000 posts. • 10 stars are awarded at 50000 posts.
