You earn stars based on the number of posts and the number of good deals that you have posted. How long you have been a member is also a factor... The more people who leave you rep points, the more stars you will get.

It is a mathematical equation that puts them on there. Generated by the AFC Server. The mods do not have anything to do with them.

I have been waiting FOREVER for my sixth star too....

just keep posting and hope you get the THANK YOUS you deserve!!! That is where it really counts is the REPS/Thank you's!!

Hope this helps any of the newbies and even others who have questions on How to Earn a Star and what you have to do to recieve one

Or you can get stars by doing this: (just kidding)

Good to know! I was wondering about this

[Kmchamplin]

Sure Wendy...ruin it for me. Do you know how many people I made think that I was the star fairy in exchange for coupons? DRATS anyhow.

Just kidding...I have no control and I actually didn't make people believe. Though coupons are always good to send.

Oh but there is if you believe and you have my addy.

LOL! Ok, but what is the difference between Rep points and Thanks?

[jbarber8]

I have two questions on this topic.

I have been thanked a few times. When I view my thanks, usually there is a green box to the left of the user id and "thanked Post" to the right. Sometimes there is no "thanked post" comment - just a blank. And one time, the box on the left side was blue. I could not tell what was different about that person, or what he did when thanking me, and I'm curious.

I usually thank everyone who responds to a thread I open, especially if I am asking a question. I thank them even if I don't agree with them, because I appreciate they are trying to help me. Is this appropriate, or inappropriate? Am I thanking too much?

I'm again not certain if I'm posting this in the right place, so forgive me if I'm not & feel free to move it (moderators). Still trying to learn the best places for posts. Mostly I just respond to other people!

Thanks!!! Being a newbie myself it just really take time to look at everything on this site!!! It has been very helpful for myself & a buddy from work who looks at the other sites as well so we compare

I knew if I went searching I might find the answers I needed. Still don't have a clue how I got a start but at least it wasn't from being clubbed over the head.

[lisawarner]

I was wondering why this star showed up too! Thanks!!

[justfluffyme]

This is my bubble <O> This is my burst bubble after finding out there is no Star Fairy <_> Any Questions?

[frugalmum]

I recently noticed I had earned a star - not sure when it appeared or what criteria was met to earn it....

anyway - I have my 1st star!

[sblevesh]

What's the difference in a "Thanks" and "Rep"?

[ccprecious31]

Thanks for the info.
