how long did it take you to get a star?

star out of pebbles - it was taken in one of the vacation village in the philippines. it was during the openhouse of the said village. my bestfriend's husband was the one who conceptualized it. he is one of the vice president's of the company.

when i was just two day-old as my lotter, i was curious about the star before the name of some of our fellow lotters. i asked about it and started a discussion. i discovered that you get a star after having 100 posts. well, when i was near 100, i was so excited. and when i got my star when it was only 5 days for being a member, i was so happy. it was a very fulfilling moment. how about you, when did you get yours? what was your next goal after getting a star? and, would you still remember how much your earnings was when you got your star?

Yeah. I need about almost 2 weeks to reach my number of post. And I have a little mess when on the early morning I see my star number, and in the afternoon it was decreasing. Hope no one here will have the same things happen like me. I guess some person here not like me much. OMG, what have I've done? But, that's okay. I just move forward and keep posting. Have a nice myLotting ...

I do'nt remember the date accurately, but I think it's after a week. When my star appears on the top of my avatar, I have a total earnings of around $7, I said to my self, Yeah I am now in the respected group of users. It's because if you have a star, new users will respect you and will trust you more, they might as well add you as afriend or ask for your tutorial in using this site. With a star on top of us, we may consider our selves as an officers, just like in military personnels.. Take Care...lol

i really cant remeber..hehe that was many months back, but one thing for certain, i was very proud of myself when i had my first star rating!:) i think it reached many many days or a week perhaps to get that star rating!:) i was just not so familiar with mylot then and i dont know how to really earn that much here.. i thought that as long as i interact i will earn.. later that i realize that i need to post as much as i cant toreally get paid!:) but anyway, i am definitely glad and very grateful to have met this site!:)

You already have start rating of 8. You next target should be to reach 500 posts so that you can start copying and pasting. At your level, you can start using the emoticons, you can also receive some earnings from them. good luck and welcome to mylot!

I had my star about 6 hours ago and after 4 days of myLotting. A friend of mine who introduced me to myLot actually noticed it and like you, I was so glad and elated! I also don't know how I got it. She just told me that it is because I have been participating to the discussions actively and that I have reached 100 plus posts. Happy myLotting to you! =)

I have been here so long now that I don't even remember the circumstances surrounding getting my start. If I remember right, I was oblivious to the whole star thing for a while. I do remember that when I became aware of it I had a 9 star so then I was motivated to make it a 10.

Well, as far as I can remember, I got a red star when I reach 100 posts. I don't remember exactly how many days did I make it. I have no idea about what that star means until some people here talk about it, well after I think 2-3 weeks of being a member. I don't pay attention either of how much was my earnings when I have my first star. But I was glad when I know that I got the second highest rank.. hahahaha,, that's what I was told.

Hi maroseqf, to get my star almost past about 1 week, the first week I don't care about being here and posting, it was just an experiment and later I realize that I get a start after the 100th post and I didn't know the meaning of that, the start was showing a 8 too but I didn't give that so importance later was my goal use the emoticons and later the copy and paste function that are very helpful!

Hi everyone, i have not gotten any star yet as i am quite new here. hehe. i did not know that we are able to get a star after having post 100 posts, i thought it was some kind of rating our fellow my lotters give us. I will work hard to have 100 posts soon so that i will have a star beside my name ;p.. by the way is there any difference after u get a star beside you name?

I really like those extra 'add-ons' after you have reached an certain amount of posts. Like for example then indeed the star and as well the copying and pasting at 500 posts! Also a target for me is ofcourse upgrading the star to a 9, and after that ofcourse the 10. I'm quite curious what kind of 'add-ons' (I don't really know how to call them lol, maybe targets? )there are more..does anybody know that?? And the star thing is as well a very positive thing for keeping the crew happy and positive. And to assure they won't be 'fighting' with eachother. This keeps the MyLotters all happy!

hi, when i reached 105 posts i received a star. And that's the only time i noticed it really (lol). I thought it's just part of their avatar or a design maybe.SO when suddenly a star appear in my name i got curious and look at it.Then I realize it was a reputation marked. So I realized also that's how mylot rank me, i guess.Hehe anyway it makes us all happy..
