i have a star by my name and i have no idea why.. and how do they figure out how many points you get per discussion etc?? i posted a lot of discussions and got like 20 cents where as when i first started here i posted 2 and jumped to like a dollar (of course some of this is due to referrals but still) so i dont understand.. i looked in the faq but im like brain dead as far as info intake (on new meds that make me an idiot with the attention span of a knat) so anyone know anything? i have a feeling im like the only one that doesnt understand this =(

Hi Moonlitmagikchild, Tianna did explain it well and I would just like to congratulate you for having one. You're the first myLotter I've seen who rank 10 in her 1st star. Your doing great.

You have the highest rating my dear, and you could only have one star. If you hover your mouse over your star you could see something like 95/100 you could work for it to reach 99 or the perfect 100/100, but don't let it bother you so much. Enjoy posting Moonlitmagikchild.)

well to explain it simply, the one that you say points or rather the number in the bracket is your user count or something. it is basically the number of posts that you have made. they may decrease though when your posts get deleted or when a topic that you posted to has been deleted. you can only have one star and no, it doesn't go above 10. it might go below though if you get negative ratings. don't worry. i used to be confused on these but now, i understand it more or less.

well, sometimes there might be referral links in your post or in that particular topic or maybe the topic might not follow the site guidelines. there might be other reasons but these are the more common ones i think.

i think the no pasting till you reach 500 is insane.. im sure a lot of people would abuse it but its annoying to have to write out things if you wanted to post a link or something

I reckon your attractive picture will have helped you too! Sorry if I seem sexist to say that, but a sad reflection of the internet life and especially the weird Indian male troll phenomenon!

you have got star by now. its something that denotes your reputation. it depends on how you are postively rated here by other users. it is calcualted in scale of 100/
