I just hit 100 messages posted yesterday and now there is a green star with the number 5 in it. What does that mean? Is it a good thing? I see many people with bigger numbers in theirs. What do you have to do to get that?

Wow good that you got 3 stars. I know for a fact that you are given a star rating after only hitting 100 responses or participation in discussion or post. But I have earned already $0.93 after only 5 days and not yet reaching 100. This puzzles me now. I know post good topics as there have been substantial responses and have been responding to posts quite substantial also. Congrats! Hope I will earn also my star ratings.

I hope that you will continue posting. Don't give up. I have reached $2.78 after 8 days and I just noticed before coming in here today that my star rating was up to 7. I hope you keep it up!!!

The stars indicate the quality and quantity of your activity here at mylot, it is like a reputation. You have to make good posts and not offend anyone because your reputation is judged by the ratings you get from others for each of your posts.

it is the reputation at mylot. the star rating depends upon the reputation. it is decided by the ratings you have got at mylot.

Additional information about the star with the numbers in it. This star represent the ratings and the numbers represent the quality of the discussions that you have posted. The higher the number, the best quality of discussion it is. You may see an increment in the number and the changing color of the star provided you have posted numerous discussions however, the number in the star may minus one from the previous result and it is due to your posting's quality. Therefore, they are right about the stars with a number in it measures the quality of each member's discussion.

I am getting excited about this!!! I have responded to over 200 discussions in the past week!!! My rating has gone from 4 to 8 in that time. I have also made $3 as of last night. This is so good!!! I write my responses the same way I would write the discussions for my classes which means they will generally be long enough for payment. Have a great day!!!

As far as how my numbers went up fast...You got me!!! I just responded to anything that was interesting to me and apparently people liked it. I just went up to $4.38. I am at a 9 now. This week I have not spent much time in here because I was informed that I would not be asked back next year so I had to start looking for a job for the fall. I also had to work on some homework. My computer has been slow also. I plan to keep marking any good post good so that should help other people's ratings (unless they are really bad). Today I have been in and out since about noon (it is 10pm now). Have a great weekend!!!

when you reached one hundred comments posted on different discussion you will received a star with numbers inside, it indicates your activities on mylot...the lower number of your ranks and the higher the number inside the star is good...post a good comments and see to it that your comment reached the minimum of three sentences so that it will count and your earnings will increase.

I just looked and today my number is a 7!!! I didn't look at it yesterday. I am getting really excited about this, but unfortunately, I won't be able to spend as much time on here as I have been because I have to get my school work done. Oh well, I'll live. Have a great day!!!

The way I see it, once you reach 100, you will start moving up. Keep up the good work. You are at 36 now so you only have 64 to go to get your star. Try for 3-4 lines in your responses. Talk to you later.

the number means the star ratings. it its 5, it means your star ratings is 5. it depends on reputation you are having in Mylot.say its 57/100 means among 100 posts you are on average getting 57 + ratings.

I have yet to get a star but hoping to soon. I too got told that you need to type at least 4 lines of text per post to get a good reputation and I hope to get a star shortly. I have only been here 4 days so better get typing lol.
