    When you get 5 stars you will be told what 4 stars [expert] means. :smile:

    It means you have 4 stars next to your name, because you reached 500 points.
    You get 1 point when someone "Likes" your post, other points from badges, etc.
    * = 0 - 49 points
    ** = 50 - 99
    *** = 100 - 499
    **** = 500 - 999
    ***** = 1000 +

    Ideally the titles should be something more specific to how popular your posts are,
    rather than to try to relate them to expertise (difficult for a computer to judge!).
    Your posts are much appreciated, for sure.

    Just to let you know, part of what it means is that, like any good pyramid scheme...errr....society, when you reach 4 stars, you are indebted to send a high grade morgan dollar, PCGS plastic MS65 or greater, to every 5 star member that got there before you hit your 4th star.

    My address will be readily available to you :)

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
