This may be a silly question - but what exactly do the stars mean? and how are they set up for you to get your next star etc etc?
One of mine has disappeared today - I just wondered why...?
Have i been naughty and need a slap on the hand ;D

As I understand it, stars are based on how many posts you make. The more you post, the more stars you get, plus they change colors as your post count increases.
But not every post counts, because some sections of the board do not record posts. The reasoning behind this was to encourage people to participate in meaningful discussions and not increase their post count merely by posting nothing but pics or saying hi to every new member and little else.
Posts to the following sections are not included in post counts:
Snail (General): Pictures / Species Pictures for Website
Misc: Competitions / Memorial Section / Classifieds
Chat: Introduce Yourself / Other Pets / Forum Chatroom / IRC Chat Room
But I cannot imagine why a star would disappear, unless it also changed color. At 215 posts, you should have 3 green stars. When you reach 350 you get a 4th green star. At 550 posts, you go from 4 green stars to one blue star, and so on.
Have you deleted any of your posts by chance?

And as moderators are going to do slowly broads cleaning don't freak out if your post ammount gets less than it has been sometime earlier. As moderators may delete sometimes some old treads/messages that don't have useful information etc message calculator take those deleted post away from persons message number that she/he currently has..  |
