Could someone on here explain the points/stars system? Yesterday, I had 5000 points, and 5 stars, and today I have 5000 points,

I said yes to your comment so you have more points.

Thanks JM, appreciate it...

Like DSM, my old account had all of it's points taken away(And -11,000 added on) so I had to start over. I know on this website 5000 points = 5 stars. My only guess to what happened was that one of your comments got -1 so you went under 5000 temporarily.
-Don't worry too much about points/stars, we all know that you provide valuable input on the website.

I lost all my points one time. Never got them back either and had to start over. It doesn't really matter much to me I guess.

And suddenly, with this post, I have 5 stars again...

Could someone on here explain the points/stars system? Yesterday, I had 5000 points, and 5 stars, and today I have 5000 points, but only 4 stars??? Just curious if there's some little gremlin sitting in a corner in the OL offices who manipulates this stuff just for their own amusement...
