Assigning colored stars to members to indicate their swap grades - as a ready reference to other members

2 posts
The idea proposed here is nothing novel. it is already used by eBay to rate buyers and sellers. On eBay depending on the number of stars achieved, members names are suffixed with a colored star and the number of ratings in numerals.

This is no patentable innovation and can be adapted to the needs of Numista. So whenever we get a swap offer from a member, just looking at his stars we get an idea of who he is. Whether he is a newbie or one with good standing. Also when we read a post, without referring back to the members details, we know his standing.

There is an inspiring side to this. Suppose we give a red star to members who have done 100 swaps, it is an inspiration for others to achieve this distinction.

Don't we already have a 5 star rating system? Instead of colour, it's the number of stars. Sign out of Numista and search Google for your own profile, you'll find it. It does not show while you are signed in, or just search other people's profiles. It also states the number of swaps a member has. The feedback page shows a 10.0/10 rating. That's already overkill, you just have to take an interest in your prospective swap partner's profiles.
