I'm pretty new to YWS, so I don't know much about this site. I just want to know what the stars on profiles mean. And the badges. And the point of gifts. Also, does anyone know how to stop getting notifications every time someone comments on a Review Team discussion?? I'd just like some answers...thanks :)

Most of these things are just for fun! :)

Stars just means that you've done a certain amount of reviews! I've done so many stars that I actually have pigs.

Badges are when you do an excellent job of reviewing or welcoming and people want to say a big THANK YOU to them. So you can nominate them for a badge.

Gifts are just for fun and something nice.

As far as notifications go... I don't think you can unfollow those clubs. But, usually for clubs, all you have to do is unfollow them and it works.

I find it oddly suiting that Snoink was the one to reply to this post. :smt044

You see, AwesomeSocks, Snoink is a reviewing fiend and was granted her piggies instead of stars because she continued to exceed the star system. Looky here at this. x) The link also shows you how the star ranking system works, if you were wondering.

Also! Welcome to the site!
