i just saw that i have a 8 in a yellow star above my name. Does that mean that people are giving me good ratings??? if it is thanks to everyone who did. Does anyone know how often these numbers change???

I think it means people are giving you good ratings. I don't understand how it works either, but 10 is the best and 1 is the worst, of course. I don't know how to rate people or anything like that, but I think it changes everyday. Yesterday my number was an 8 and today when I checked myLot it's a 9 :)

I'm fairly certain it is based on the pluses or minuses that people give you for your discussions on here. Mine's been pretty much the same since i started here. It seems like it's also relating to the quality of your responses. Most that have really low ratings seem to have really short or copy and paste replies, minus the occassional jerk replies lol.
