I'm not taking credit for this. JustDave wrote this and it's been working great on my site. I've tweaked the interface a bit, and written up the instructions to post here. Thanks Dave!!!
Mod Name / Version: ProfileStarRewards1.0
Description: This is a hack which awards stars to users based on the completeness of their profiles. A great alternative to user ratings...one where the user has complete control over their ratings....and people browsing the forums know how complete the profile is, before they click to view it (only to find an empty profile).
Working under: UBB.threads 6.0.1 and 6.0.2
Any pre-requisites: Assumes you're not going to use the user rating feature.
