Cause I like it and think it's a good question or it's funny.

Because I know deep down that getting a star is probably the high point in some of these peoples' day.

I don't star questions too much. Only if they really wow me. Even if I could use them in normal conversations, if they're not profound or really appeal to me, I don't star them. If they catch my attention as something out of the ordinary, but very interesting, I star the question.

So I can see the results later on because I find it interesting

When I've never heard the question before.

Or if I think it's funny.

I'm not going to star this question if that's what you're looking for.

Because I can't give the questioner a pat on the bum. Don't worry, you don't get one.

Because I like it, either because it was funny or interesting.

Good point, that's y ur not getting one from me

I never do. Unless it's really funny.
