It's worked out using the Effinofferski Algorithm, which takes into account many different factors. The more someone pisses us off, the greater their EA coefficient is. When you take into account post counts and then the inverse application of the EA coefficient you end up with a rank and stars.
That would clearly explain my low rank and inaccurate star count...
Happy to still be labeled as "helpful"....i guess i should be grateful to have not been completely ousted. Maybe i will apply the Jrays method....make 50 posts a day and see if i can boost my status a bit.

 very good point, GB.
As my name seems to have been use in vain, my views are as follows:
1. Jonathan (my namesake) is far from shallow, just precise in a German engineer sort of way.
2. I really don't care about stars (other than those of galactic proportions) and am happy that Dekolte has got more than me. I do now care about skylights and their location, having revisited the crime scene recently.
3. I love my monika "Skylight walker". Naive heroics combined with disastrous consequences just about sums me up.
