So Erad3 Profile at first had no Flags and 8 Stars rewarded by Members to his Posts
Now we see 3 flags rewarded and 96 stars rewarded by Members to his Posts
With a comment by a user on freerepublic.com stating that ATS.com is 'keeping erad3s posts intact for investigators'
That could also mean, the investigators will be looking at Members who supported erad3's,
Members who replied to erad3s (even if they were in disagreement), members who flagged erad3 and starred erad3
They will look into Members who; support, add/fuel political rehetoric with references for an armed revolution, members who make references to guns and voilence in political discourse, they will look at members who fuel anti government discussion laced with hatred and bigotry, outrageous borderline violent political rehetoric parroting politicans making same commentary

Wonder how many posters almost shat themselves when you mentioned the authorities looking into stars to see who may have supported him. A few lucky folks may not sleep as well tonight after that revelation. Though a family of a 9 year old baby will lose much more than a few nights sleep...
Karma?

Never said it was.
It would still make me nervous if I had to answer questions from the feds about why I did it. Maybe others enjoy talking to the feds. I have no clue. But I have lived happily without that experience for almost 34 years, I could easily go another 34 and not miss it.

The "Erad3" user account was banned primarily to prevent mischief. There's a great deal of information about Loughner becoming public, meaning it may be possible for someone with a desire for inappropriate mischievousness to guess his password and attempt to post via the account.
The threads remain in public so as to aid those who are attempting to understand who Loughner is and what drove his madness. The threads he started are closed to prevent potential confusion (caused by new replies) for those doing their research.

Even if they do, it is NOT a crime to star a post on a message board!

It is...
He received those stars because somebody knew what he did
