what do the stars after peoples names on this site mean ?

thank you, is it safe to assume these people are more trust worthy when doing trades?

( got a guy dming me for an item in a game but refuses to comment on my post )

I wouldn't use the term donate because that's technically incorrect. If you donate to the site, such as the $25 for DF access, you don't get star value. Buying fg gets you stars, or trading fg for star value gets you stars.

No, many users with high amounts donated to the site have been locked and scammer tagged for scamming.

If you feel unsafe it’s always good to use a mediator

The $25 you donate for donor forums access does indeed affect your stars value.



People will sometimes create their own basis for trust, such as post count, join date, amount of forum gold, etc, but the safest way to trade is to use a mediator. It’s fast and it’s free

Ahhh. I reread the Donor forum thing and you're right, I did get it mixed up. My bad. It was purchasing forum gold doesnt count as a donation. I guess in my mind I thought it was the same if reversed, donations don't count as purchasing gold.

Thanks for the clarification, some like to mislead.
