Whenever I search for a favorite columnist, these stars pop up. I only have 4 stars, while others have 4 1/2? what do the stars represent and how do you get a higher star rating
soccurboi48 answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 8:56 am: When you answer a question people can rate you a 1-5...So the 4 stars that you have is your average rating! Look at your feedback on your advice column it will tell you what people have rated you!

If you have only 4 stars, then that means your rating is a 4 and for those other columnists, their ratings are around a 4.5. To get a higher rating, you just need to answer a lot of questions and hope to get rated for each of them. Once you get rated, your rating will go up.
