I wanna star!!! :-s

Pretty please :-)

Blimey, you're right, what happened?

Sorry Chrisrolinski, you missed the luck of the draw on the first batch of stars. But don't worry, one star's easy to get - just help somebody and if they like what you say they'll give you a star. The second one's a bit harder, and the third one's harder still. Noone's got 4 yet, so who knows how hard that is. As for five, well you'll need to get a job in Sheffield to come close to getting that many.

Thanks! Trust me to not be procrastinating and checking the forum on the very days the stars are handed out!!!!!:-)

Please read the Forum Rules for more information about the Star System.

hmm....so basically the mods get to choose if we are deserving enough of another star!

The star system simply indicates whether your a helpful or very helpful user. The more helpful you are, the more stars you receive. Many people post content that carries little value and the star system gives users a way of spotting helpful users from high volume users.

Maybe I am consigning myself to starless eternity, but I would question whether we really need "stars" as a way of validating ourselves as worthwhile?

Hey? Who am I kidding. I am talking to some people that put themselves through hell just to have the title "Dr".

Sorry this is very off-topic, and purely for Chrisrolinski:
