They’re your way of saying “Hey, this is a good thread, come check it out”, and together, as a team, you can collectively decide which thread is “better” or more worthy than another.
When starring a member’s post you’re effectively saying “I agree with this” or “a lot of work has gone into this and I may not agree with it, but I am appreciative of the efforts gone into it still”.

I always star a response someone makes in my thread (unless its just a really terrible reply). Its a courteous of sorts; you spent the time to comment in my thread, I give you a star.
When reading others' threads, I star those posts that I agree with or that are especially well written.
I only flag a thread if I think others need to read it. Sometimes the threads I flag are somewhat lighthearted, but that's my opinion.

And as far as flagging, there's just a box at the top left of each PAGE that says "Flag Thread" or something along those lines, and you click on "Flag It".
