What are Yalango Stars?
Stars measure your contributions to the community and your study habit - earned from sharing decks, helping on the forums, streaks and focus sessions.
Stars measure what you put into Yalango - both what you share with other learners and how consistently you show up.

Feedback
Sending feedback earns 5 stars, for up to 3 submissions a day. Bug reports are genuinely useful, so they're rewarded like contributions.
Losing stars
Stars are removed when the action that earned them is reversed - setting a public deck back to private, or an upvote being withdrawn. Deleting a deck or comment removes the stars it had earned.
What stars are not
Game scores don't earn stars. Playing a deck perfectly is its own reward - what stars track is contribution and consistency, not accuracy.
Earning more
- One good deck beats twenty empty ones. A well-made deck saved by ten learners is 100 stars.
- Answer questions. Accepted answers and corrections are the highest-value single actions available.
- Keep your streak. It's slow but completely reliable.
Reaching certain totals unlocks badges, titles and profile frames - see Star milestones.
