To be clear....
Stars - these are accumulated automatically as users contribute to Forum as a whole, the more you contribute the more stars you will attain. This is not influenced by anything other than the frequency each individual member contributes.
Reputation - this is controlled by the Forum members. If you like (or dislike) a post you read you can individually rate that post and the person who wrote it will receive a positive (or negative) rating (the rating stays linked to the post and you can visit what was said). A rating can also be added to individual users without being linked to a specific post - this might be used if you generally find the user helpful/unhelpful etc.
Russell, if you wish to "like" a post (something that someone has written), simply rate the individual post, it will add to the person's reputation score and others can see the exact post that you liked.
If you are unhappy with a rating (or a post) you receive or that others receive/write this should be reported using the "report" button - it will only be acted upon if you use this facility. Individual posts and rating all have the facility to be reported.
