'seems like the new system averages the stars shown next to a members name. That being the case, if someone has...say 5 stars from one recommendation, then gets a 1 star recommendation from another member because he liked a post from the member, his gold stars go to a middle ground of 2-3 stars. If on the otherhand, members that really hate a member's post, don't recommend any stars to that member, he retains a full 5 star rating. Go figure. So, if you want to downgrade a multi-star rated member, give him a single star!
