I want to increase my star! 10 star, how to accomplish it??

From what i gather its when people rate your input. There is a little "+" and "-" signs on conversations and when some one gives you a "+" it builds up points towards your star. Thats how i understand it anyway.

Well most of Mylotters here are wondering too why their stars decrease. Even if they say that they are active here on Mylot for participating in every discussions, i think that the ratings other give us also has an influence of getting a star increased or decrease. But i don't know which one since i myself am not putting any + nor - rate to a certain discussion. For sure i would never ever rate anyone - because just like me, i would feel sad about it but not going to be down and affected by that. For me, my goal is to reach more than $15 this month, and for that, i have to participate well with the discussions i can relate to and to answer some questions most Mylotters ask here. I don't worry much about the star rate but the earnings. But anyway we still have to strive harder to earn that 10 stars, for now i got a red one and i am so happy to have it. Happy Mylotting!
