Enlighten me...
What do the star ratings at the top of posts do? Anything?
What's with the "points"... do they reflect your star ratings?
The Nest, you are a strange, foreign land... 
Re: Enlighten me...
I wonder if they're like those blue balls (ha!) that they used to have on the knot, where you pretty much had to have a million posts before you got one.
yeah, the squares under your name require about a million posts before you get one. the points increase as you post, but i'm pretty sure they serve no purpose. the ratings (5 star or whatever) at the top of posts are how other people have rated your post. if you mouse-over them, it will tell you the average rating based on however many people rated the post.
