I would like to think that is a troll reports a question that has 12 stars Yahoo will take a look at it before automatically deleting it (?) I hope it works that way
Here is the info on Laceys link:

Stars have no points value. I give stars if I think a question is one others might be interested in or if it's one I want to check back on later. I may want to see what others have answered or I may want to refer back to some information it contains.

So far, I haven't noticed the star rating adding any points to my "score". I see them as more of a place to drop off a calling card saying, "Hi, I was here"! I've heard that some professors use it as an aid to see if their students were able to follow directions & find a certain question according to the homework directions! I have my own system for using the stars. It helps me with research on certain subjects.

What you're doing is highlighting the undeniable fact that it is substantial know precisely WHY you incredibly desire a telescope until eventually now you circulate out and purchase one. this is a nicely commonplace actuality that the sky seems the same to all of us in any respect time everywhere in the international, and there'll continuously be somebody with a much greater helpful telescope than you have. hence if all you opt for to do is to look on the main suitable accessible image of an astronomical merchandise, your maximum suitable source is the Hubble website. despite the fact that only as adult males circulate fishing and have no objective of catching something: they only choose for to circulate off on my own someplace and get away the rat race for awhile, some people choose for to own a telescope because of the fact it provides us an excellent excuse to circulate out and get away for awhile, relish some peace and quiete and clean air. Cheers!

They serve no purpose. I never give them since your nickname is stored on the asker's profile. What is really needed is a thumbs up and down for a question that somehow affects points.

I don't see anything about earning points. Personally I think starred questions should earn points.
