Under each name you'll see a number of colored stars. They actually mean something and are based on post count and/or staff position.
Red Stars are for Staff:
5 stars = Administrator
4 stars = Group Moderator
3 stars = Category Moderator
The rest are progressive for post counts. Everyone who registers gets a basic single star. Then as you post, you change colors and collect more stars.
1 green star = Regular (10 posts)
1 blue star = Full Member (100 posts)
2 green stars = Senior Member (500 posts)
2 blue stars = Forumite (1000 posts)
3 green stars = Full Forumite (1500 posts)
3 blue stars = Senior Forumite (2000 posts)
It's silly and doesn't really mean much, but hey... it's fun.

What do exalt/smite mean? Smite lowers the smitee's karma while exalt raises it. |

Your smite and exalt buttons go away for an hour after you smite or exalt someone. I.E., you can only do it once an hour.

Look around this world we made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the brotherhood of man
Oh what a wide contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the red star proudly high in hand

And I am verging on loquacious, or a word similar to that anyway.

In another post, Scarlett asked what the stars meant so I've bumped the explanation.

It was so exciting last week when I reached my 100th post and "earned" my blue star!
...there's still a 5 y/o inside of me who really enjoys getting stars!
