I've been trying to figure out the algorithm to them myself.  Here's what I know/Don't know.

 

They appear to symbolize short term activity.  I think it's directly related to how long you've been logged in recently.  However, there also seems to be a daily cap.  IE leaving the site open 24/7 does not = more stars.  Spamming constantly doesn't seem to add at a large pace.

 

So I'm thinking it's a combination of time logged into the site along with number of posts made within that time.  I had three stars, but it went down to two stars after I hadn't posted anything for like a month.  I'm posting again now, but it's not going back up to three very quickly...  However, my rank did increase by 2 within the last couple of days.

 

Hence my proof of cap, activity relation, etc.

Alright, well I just saw a "Hard Core Memeber" with 3 Stars, 29 posts, and less than a year of membership....

 

I've got 100 posts, 3 years of membership, and I'm an "Apprentice"?

Kind of a stupid system that doesn't reward seniority what so ever...

 

It appears to be based SOLEY on time spent navigating the website while logged in.
