    Neither. As it pertains to you getting one on your Q, well.............................

    Close-knit groups of contacts use them like a signal. They will give a Q a star, to say: This Q is hot, come see, and then their friends show up, and they star, then their friends show up and they star, and then you have a bunch of answers.

    Get your contacts to start doing that.

    Your contacts see every time you star something, don't cry Wolf !, they will quit coming to see.

    But............ The Q needs to be something you can work with in funny ways.............

    If this was a hot Q, I could have a dozen more answers here for you in 10 minutes, with just one star from me.

    That's the best way a star works.
