What does the digit beside your nick mean?

The number aside your name just means how often you have posted here at mylot. The more you post, the closer you get to the ten dollar payout. Because you get paid here at mylot for your posts if they are quality posts. A quality post is a post that is meaningful and has at least four to five lines. A rating you get when you get your star, the number in the star is your rating. The star you get after you have made more than 100 posts. So, just keep posting and you too will get it all. I have been paid by mylot last month and so will you, just keep posting and happy mylotting.
