it is based off of user points, which you get from every positive reaction except LOL. The ranks are 1, 250, 500, 1500, 3000, where it goes from 1-5 stars and caps there.
Basically, be likeable. And/or write likeable things.
You need to get one point for every positive reaction (Like, Insightful, Agree). Afaik, Disagree takes one point away, but can't rank you down. LOL does nothing.
I didn't even know that we get rated by stars. I just checked and realized I have 4 stars. Guess this means, I post way to much and need to take a break and enjoy life more.

It depends on your insightful, agree and like counts. You get a point for each one, and each star level requires a certain amount of points. I think 5* might be 3k points or something like that, but I can't remember for sure. There's still no progression after that, though. It's not necessarily how much you post, or that you post too much, but how your posting contributes to the community and how the community responds to your contribution. If you've got more posts than points, then yeah, you probably post too much in the sense that many of your posts aren't contributing to conversation. But you can also progress very quickly based on the quality and content of your posts.
@Furrymoosen , thanks for the info. I do have more more points than post so that's not bad. So the points comes from the scores for insigitful, agree, like and awesome. The disagree and LOL doesn't do anything for you. 1700+263+208+152=2323. Didnt realize this was how the points worked.

Not gonna lie, I forgot about the awesome option. It's a cool, though relatively useless system. I just look at the point to post ratio. If you're in the positive, then you're usually going okay.

also, OP, don't spam the forum by posting multiple times in a row like that. Use the cog next to the time-stamp to edit your post.
