A blue star beside a member indicates that they have verified their email address after signing up.
Why email verification matters
Email verification provides an additional confirmation that the member can receive emails at the address they registered with. This helps improve email delivery.
Do unverified members still receive emails?
Yes. Emails are still sent to all members who sign up, whether or not they have verified their email address. The blue star is simply an additional verification indicator — it does not restrict access or affect what a member can do in your community.
