My profile reputation is 1 star but others have 5 stars!

I looked at my profile reputation !!!!!
Why do I only have 1 star while other less important members have 5 stars…
is there anything that can be done about this???
Really, this is too much!!…there is obviously a bug in the reputation algorithm….

Re: My profile reputation is 1 star but others have 5 stars!

You’ve got 5 Stars [indicating over 1,000 posts], and 1 Green Box*.
The more you post, the more the stars, under your name [title], turn yellow.
The more you’re ‘Thanked’, the more green boxes you get.
Our Administrators have NOT enabled the “Reputation” function.
1 Yellow Star = 10 posts
2 Yellow Stars = 50 posts
3 Yellow Stars = 100 posts
4 Yellow Stars = 250 posts
5 Yellow Stars = 1000 posts
20,000 posts = still 5 stars
Even more posts = still 5 stars
*I don’t know what scale is used on the ‘Green Box’ thanks icons.

Re: My profile reputation is 1 star but others have 5 stars!

Ok, thanks Gord, I think I see what the problem is here, I’m not being thanked enough.
Now I understand that you are all very busy and don’t always have time. But really, there is no excuse for this lax behaviour.
More to the point, I’m then made to look like just one of you ordinary forum members and not one of the important ones.

Q: What’s grey, and not important?
A: An irrelephant.

How important/famous do you have to be, for your death to be considered an assassination, instead of a murder?

Ah, but the real question is whether the stars have looked at you.

I think the green boxes are more important as they suggest quality and usefulness of posts.

The star measure is just a babble meter. The green boxes, found in a user's profile, is a measure of how many times a user has been thanked. Each box, and shade of green, denotes a certain number of "thanks". I don't recall what the numbers are, but we did have a discussion about this a few years ago.

Look at the bright side. You're not labeled a "Senior Cruiser"... WTF is that anyway?
Explain which Marinas have early bird specials, share recipes to lower blood pressure, tell good ol day stories of sailing with Slocum?
