Im a little confused. The only way we see a star is on our own personal profile, no one else can see it right? Like there is a star next to your name when you view it as a reminder, but no one else can see it as if it were signifying anything as a paying/no paying member?
Its just like the link on the top right to logout. Its their as a reminder, you dont have to use it if you dont want, just helps out. :o)
