Just our of curiosity... I am a 3 star member with 123 posts. I've seen other 3 star members with 12,000 posts. I think you hit 4 stars at 20,000. Does that mean 5 stars is 100,000?

Post count/ point count does not give one 4 or 5 stars. One could have one million posts and still be a three star member or one post and have four or five stars in the forum. If one takes on Prog Reviewer or Collaborator status then one has four stars, and if one becomes a Special Collaborator and/ or Admin then one has five stars.

but the most important thing to know about it: when you reach the 4th echelon you have to stop socializing with everyone below your rank because this is not seen as honorable by the upper prog class.

Funny! I've never even noticed the stars beneath people's monikers! Is there really a PA aristocracy?

I've never paid attention to those stars or bothered to ask what they mean.

Yeah, they probably are very nice people but we'll never know for sure, I guess, since they rarely get out of their golden circle to exchange with others.

Good observation. They rarely get out of their golden circle, but they often hang around outside their Cosy Zone.

I'm just wondering how many hundreds of prog reviews you need to write to reach the four-star status of Prog Reviewer, or is it more to do with quality over quantity?
