Cux answered Sunday July 20 2008, 7:46 pm: The gold star is for paid accounts. You can purchase a paid account for only $10 a year. A lot of people have said that it is way worth it simply because you no longer see those crazy ads all over the site. You get a bunch of extra features, as in being able to see the questioner's gender, age, feedback score (how many people they have actually feedback-ed), average feedback (what they usually rate people), and all of their previous questions. You can also see if they have any unread answers, so you have a better idea if the person has read your answer yet or not. The only thing you can't really see is their username, but being able to see their past questions is a huge help in giving good advice!

"What do I get with a Paid account?
* You'll get the warm fuzzy feeling you get from helping advicenators.
* When logged in, you won't see ads anywhere.
* You'll get to create custom style templates to make your column look like any web page.
* You have access to a special "paid account member" discussion forum to socialize with other paid members and the advicenators site management.
* You can change your username.
* You get this nifty gold star by your name in all the columnist search pages:
* You get to see details about questions that other people don't get to see. When you view or answer a question, a box will tell you the age and gender of who asked the question, along with how many of its answers they've actually read, its rating, whether or not it's been deleted (and why), etc."
