I'd rather not have "post" counts either.
Though I don't subscribe to the theory that " "He who speaks the most [or loudest] often knows the least"
If this were true, I'd be considered a "blathering idiot" in some places, a "genius" in others.

Some people are more apt to engage in the banter or offer a word of encouragement. This is good, as it keeps the forums active.

The stars are indeed part of a rating system. It's not fully implemented yet. I'm going to be working on it over the next month. I have some time off coming up from work and plan on spending some time with MLS. When complete, I will put together a tutorial that explains the system. Also included in the system is a member rating of sorts. While is does not allow people to directly rate members, it rates members based on their participation in the community.

I am rated in many aspects of my life already. I come here to enjoy myself, learn and see what other people are doing.
Why should I, or anyone else. subject themselves to being rated on a hobby forum?

Hobbies are supposed to be fun. We already have too many people who take things way too serious.
If I am subject to being rated here as a member, I will no longer participate here.
You can rate me "unimpressed" as well as "thoroughly disgusted".

I guess I'll be having "fun" elsewhere.
