What is the yellow star here on FGB?

Some people who post comments here on FGB have a yellow star by their name, and some people don't. Also, if a person has a yellow star, there is a number shown next to it - some numbers are in the teens, and some are in the hundreds. What is the purpose/meaning of the star, and what does the number that accompanies it signify? And why do some people have a star, and some don't? I searched the FGB web site looking for an answer but couldn't find one, so I'm asking here. Thanks.

Thanks to the original poster for asking this, and thank you to everyone who offered their insight! Your star count reflects the contributions you've made to the Fairygodboss Community.

Thank you FGB Community Manager --- I'm told I'm a little impatient. I noticed that after I posted my second reply and WAITED a little bit my number increased from 159 to 162, so it appears that Mandy and Leilana were correct ... and it's great to have that confirmed by "someone in authority." Thanks again. PS --- What a rapid response; very impressive.

It's not the comments anyway, cos I've got 171 comments but 631 beside my star. I wonder is it a measure of how many people have look at your posts/ comments?

Mandy and Leilani --- Thank you. I'm at 159 right now, so when I click on the "Post comment" button, it will (should) reset to 160. We're about to find out.

Mandy and Leilana --- so I am still at 159, thus there is either a time delay, FGB doesn't like me this morning, or something else is going on.

I second Mandy's comment above - I've noticed that my number next to the star goes up each time I comment or interact with a post on my feed :)

I'm reasonably sure that it refers to the number of comments you've posted--which is to say the amount of time you spend interacting on this website. :)
