do mylot ratings affect one's earnings??

Nopse richtofein i don't think so that the ratings affect one's earnings. It just shows how much is your contribution to the site as in whether your a very active member, post a lot, make new discussions and stuff like that. I just received my rating today after being there 2 days on the site. It started of with a 7 and then in a few minutes shot up to a 8. But i don't think my earnings were affected by it in any way. So thts all i have to say regarding this. But a star near one's name always looks really nice doesn't it?? Hehehe...
