Congratulations on reaching new heights on VideoSift. You have earned yourself 26 stars, earning you status of Silver Star member. You have been awarded 1 Power Point for achieving this level. Thanks for all your contributions.

There's a burdturgling party go on and your invited. http://news.videosift.com/talk/Burdturgler-Becomes-Gold

You get *.findthumb and *.discuss
findthumb is useless
discuss sends a post to sift talk. Good if you see spam or think a post should be looked at by other people.
gold is next and that opens the doors to all sorts of things:

Thanks!
The comment stars have helped immensely (I like getting comments applauded better than anything honestly, there are some quality comments posted on the Sift and it it part of what I love about this site), along with an intense disgust with the republican party... which seems to be the general consensus... helps to be part of the majority when it comes to getting comments applauded.

Onward to... whatever the hell the next star is, gold I presume. I don't think I actually get any new useful privileges do I?

...keep burgling turds.
