They're submission discount multipliers. While a new member with one star doesn't get a discount, when they get 2 stars, that discount will double. At 3 it triples, and so on.
Stars are just part of the equation. You need 1000 points for 5 stars. But I also look at badges, post count and number of years that a member has been here. If you rank high in all of these areas, then I think that you should be considered a respected and knowledgeable member.

you have to hit the person's icon and then look to the right to see how many merit badges they have earned...
Actually there is a Badges count in their About paragraph.
The icons on the lower right show the actual badge icons.

The more times you get hit in the head, the more stars you see.

A functioning pm system was traded for a dynamic, entertaining star system when the forum software was upgraded.

I've been here for 15 or so years, I think I still only have three stars (nothing to do with my username...)
Just have fun and enjoy the hobby. The stars’ll take care of themselves.
5 stars are for coin junkies.
We're rated on awesomeness.

I hope they are not like the stars in the print data section on the cover of Playboy.
