niamhaine, I think it has to do with the number of posts one has made. I'm a blue star too and we have about the same number of posts.

Pro Boards gives the option to have different ranks like "new member", "senior member", ect... and an option for how many and what color stars. Since the ranking only works based on the quantity of posts, and not the quality of posts, I didn't want it to look like someone with a lot of post is a better member than someone who is new, so I removed the titles and just left stars in colors I like.
As you post more, your stars will increase and they will go from green to blue each time.

Star smars...I still want chicklets dammit. WTF is a chicklet? Before my time, dammit! Way back in the day it was a way to measure a postors rep based on likes and a couple of other things and you'd have little square blocks of various colors show in your postings.I'm sure it was a pita for the mods. |

Chicklets were meant to be used to comment on the quality of posts. In this way individuals who wrote well and defended their points coherently would earn a good reputation, and others would earn a poor reputation.
What actually happens is that people hand out good or bad votes based on whether they agree with the person politically or not, or whether the person was in the right clique or not, or sometimes just when asked.
I believe that the truth is that each reader must assess each writer and form an internal opinion. A chicklet system that permitted an individual to record this knowledge for himself would be somewhat useful, at least to me. The ratings generated by such a system would be visible only to their creator. Why only somewhat? Most of us have little difficulty remembering the posters we regard as very good or very poor; it's the middle that takes more effort.
In any event, disallowing sock puppets is an important rule; it means people can't create them for the sole purpose of misrepresentation or the forwarding of crackpot ideas.

I'm guessing most of the negativity is either nationals or locals. Everything else seems to be pretty chill I can imagine a whole bunch of negative Chiclets being given out on the two categories I mentioned
