If you have all 5s, your rating is the highest it can be, and you probably are good at giving advice, or you got lucky and got easy questions. If you have closer to all 2s or all 1s- you probably shouldn't be giving advice or you should try harder.
As for the gold stars in front of the blue ones, that signifies that someone has a Paid Account.
That link will explain it all. It is $10 a year, and you get to create your own page layouts and you can see how old/what gender a user is when they ask a question. You can also see other questions that people have asked. As for now, you can only pay for a Paid Account with PayPal, which requires that you have a Credit Card. Not many people have Paid Accounts, but if you are old enough to have a Credit Card, you should definitely get one, as it helps DN (DangerNerd- the big guy on campus that runs the site and does a great job at it) pay for the cost of this site.
It would be very nice of you to get one, and support Advicenators.

are for ratings. If they have NO stars, they are probably new columnists. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
