I didn't know were to post this but I hope its not funny. I am a new member and wondering how do you get member stars and if there's any benefit to it.

You get more stars based onn how many posts you put in. Hopefully posts that are relevant to the issues you respond to and have content in excess of +1. The benefit is the immense amount of knowledge you will gain from the interaction with other users. Unless you are dragged into the forest of confusion by trolls and the worshippers of chaos that frequent this forum. Good luck and feel free to ask me or anyone anything.

They are added to your information as you reach various milestones determined by the number of posts.

New member upto 50
Bronze over 50
silver 500
Gold 2500
Platinum 5000 (I probably got the numbers wrong;don't worry though If I did someone will be along right smart and correct the info)

Something like that. It doesn't mean much except how many times you've posted. It's no guarantee of any quality of help or anything like that. You'll see after a while that just because someone has a gazillion posts credited to them they aren't necessarily a helpful member on the forum. Conversely I've been helped by someone with only a few posts. So there you go. No real benefit. No Cakewalk discounts or anything. Doesn't really mena much. Discussion often suggest that the star rating system be done away with entirely. All the best.

Thanks guys. This is the best Forum

Imagine what this place would be like if I had done that.

The Platypi restroom in the elite club area would be cleaner?
