It means exactly what the site owners want it to mean, and that's that. Flags x Stars divided by 200,000.

Slayer is #1, All hail the GoldFather
But of course they're getting paid, and are so humble they don't need any recognition.

And I am going to second the guy that said, "watch out cause now you are easier to identify" I will be reading your replies/threads before some others, keep you on your toes.
To me, thats the down side of starring, and maybe these borders were supposed to combat that problem somehow, but popularity doesnt make a good post. Nor does length of time on the board, or threads started, or how big someones bar is/was. or what color their border is.
Honestly, you should consider each post on its own merits or failings, and not really base your opinion in any way on the perceived status of the member. I have seen lots of very impressive, intelligent, well reasoned posts from people with absolutely no bling, not even an avatar.

What's with the guy that has 9,245 posts and 89 flags? I look at that kind of thing. Helps me gauge credibility. Am I wrong to do that?

All that these stars and flags do is encourage people to spam this site more with posts that have no relevance with the current thread or encourage people to make more threads with little to no information and no intent on keeping the threads up and just hope that other´s will do the research and contribute to it and make it a good thread. While they just go ahead and find another topic to start up another thread.
I for one predict a huge increase in worthless threads and posts that have no relevance with the current thread.
Proceed with caution
