To show how much you've posted.

It's basically to show how active you are on this site. There really is no other reason then to tell others you've been one for quite a while.

It's also used a lot to get an idea of how good the person is at making cards or other things. A newer member doesn't tend to be the best, and older members are expected to be good. This isn't always true though, I forgot how many 1 stars have posted cool cards on here.

the more stars the more posts basically.

An [i]at a glance[/i] way of telling what someone's post count is, in a perspective.

Basically, stars show how much you've posted. There used to be a rule that you could only host a contest with 3 or more stars, but it's gone now. This is how many posts you need to gain stars:

1 star: Join the site
2 stars: Make 25 posts
3 stars: Make 150 posts
4 stars: Make 400 posts
5 stars: Make 1000 posts
6 stars: Make 5000 posts

I also believe that Mods are treated as 5 stars, and super mods are treated as 6 stars. For admins, I am not entirely sure.
