I joined Plurk just about 3 weeks ago. Over the course of those three weeks, I invited over 50 friends to join, through this link and I have earned the "red" star.
Plurk says they reward special stars to users that get their friends to Plurk." You can earn up to three stars, gray for 10 invites, yellow for 25 invites and red for 50 invites (the max). So I finally got 50 invites, I see the red star on my profile, but only a few others do.
So why can't others see my star? It should look like this:
I suspect it has to do with a bug in the system. Right now, only if you are on my timeline, can you see it. Otherwise, no - you cannot see it, at least now. So what is the point? I want people to see the star when they are on their own timelines (that is how it works, you don't spend your Plurk time on other people's timelines.
I want my red star. ;-)
I Plurked this over here and here.

Hi Rusty... I'm going to check now, but is it for "invites" or "recruited". You said you invited 50, but did they all join? I think Plurk gives it to you when that many of your friends join. Could be wrong, though.

They are only friends invited until they actually join. I.e. they click the special URL, and we don't know they are invited until they join. In any event, I see a red star, others do also, but most people dont.

We hope you get your well-deserved red star! :)
