This might be a small issue, but I can see a lot of people with red spinning stars here, especially in the future. Maybe there can be a new reward/acknowledgement of moves on this site.
Different color, green maybe when you reach 200,000 moves, or 500,000? I don't know.

I would rather have a particular star for the top 100, top 10 and the top player and follow their names. These stars can be won and lost. This is of higher value in my humble opinion.
Using a bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond medallion to go along with the moves stars.

Also - how does it allow for rating inflation over the long term?

Personally, I think the spinning star club is getting a little crowded, and those who have been making making thousands of moves per month for so many years deserve something a little different than the likes of myself, a relative new spinner.
I was just speaking of the fact that by the time I reach spinning star level, everyone would probably have it, making the achievement meaningless..

I'll get something together for this. I'll try to give it more thought than last time :
Little known fact, I prepared this spinning icon literally in the minutes preceding the first person to hit 100k moved. (Rhymester).
I had no idea what I was going to do, so just settled on a spinning variant! It was a race to get it uploaded in time.

As for ratings inflation, as with move totals, something else can still be added on to show and even greater rating.
A slightly different variant would be a multi star look. But I still wouldn't use a low or mid range level rating to add a second, third, etc., star. But rather a strong rating. no lower than 1800 I would think. I also but a starting level could be voted upon.
Engine use isn't tolerated, from what I have seen and users are removed rather quickly. So I can't see this as a real problem. Since the majority of us play for the fun of the game, this would give them an added goal to reach. Imagine the first 100,000+ move member with 4 spinning stars showing a rating of 2300-2400. That would be something.

Eventually, the spinning star will mean nothing here.
Russ, is there a new goal for fast movers???
