What are the stars beside people's name?

Hello Timoboll, Welcome to MYLOT. The star is your rating and the number in it is were you at in this friendly community. So if you have a blue star with that means you are at no 1. Red is 2 and so on. Some person love it. I used to love mines but after starting at number 9 which is a red drop to 6, 7 and now I am at 8. I don't pay it no mind. My friend just post and respond and enjoy your stay here.

You get the star after you reach 100 posts. Then the number in the star is a rating of some sort, for instance, I have a 9 and a rating of 88 out of 100. You'll get your star soon I'm sure :)
