Points:

As points are accumulated you will gain levels, up to 8, which you can see by using the "members" link in the left menu, and "capabilities".

Stars and Team Icons: Posted by Sheesh
Stars Levels are rewarded for points earned. Getting them depends on how long you have been a member, number of posts you have made, and where you post. There are other things to determine your level status.
1 2 and 3  silver stars are earned as you reach 2k, 5k and 20k points
1  gold is shown if you pass 60k points
1  green is shown if you pass 120k points.
A single green star is the end of the star system, except for:
1  blue star means the user is a site subscriber (tool points)
For Tool points, and avatars, please see elsewhere in this FAQ.
Additional trinkets:

Capabilities
If you go to the "Members" link in the menu, you will see "Capabilities" as an option. Clicking on that choice will show you your status in the levels/points progression.
You will not see anything higher than level 8 here, but when your info is viewed by others using the "I see people" feature, the level may be higher depending upon your site activity.

There are usually three possible explanations for this:
You may have checked "show no trinkets" in your preferences. Sometimes clearing your browser's cache will resolve this problem.
If you're using ZoneAlarm or Proxomitron, check to make sure that animation is not turned off in those apps.
--
If you're just not seeing them in your posts, remember that they will only show up in longer posts -- currently by letter count. 125 letters or more, and your information is displayed. Punctuation marks and numbers don't count.
