As what our fellow member stated about stars, well that star is our reputation here. It will depend on how you participate on every discussion and how people rate your post. It has something to do also when you seem to open up new topics and let people interact with that topic you started.

As long as that star rate decrease, it means that something negative has been rated to us by fellow members. If you want to increase it, i suggest that you create a lot of posts or even participate at every discussions you can relate too so that you may help others by sharing your ideas and information.

The purpose of why we participate to help other members by our suggestions and solutions we give them specially if they have problems here. It is up to you which topic you choose to answer as long as you are sincere in your answers and it is relevant to the topic as well.
