Does 'reputation' affect your earning?

The higher reputation will give more earnings, as reputation is by rating discussion posts. If the better rating on our posts, the more money will earn and it's helpful to the community.

In the FAQs we are told: "The DRS (Discussion Rating System) is factored into our proprietary earnings algorithm, so this will help us properly reward valuable contributions to the myLot community." : http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx The higher the value of your star the higher your earnings are. A user with a blue 10 star will earn more for the same post than a user with a lower star.

No one actually know exactly how mylot count on the earning or pay on the post. That will be better if you can build better reputation on mylot no matter it affect the earning or not

I am a newbie here and I was gonna start a discussion about it but then I found yours. I don't have any ideas whether our reputation has something to do with our earning. But here's my thought, good reputation means the user gives good quality responses or comments which means higher earnings. I think it has something to do with it, even though indirectly.
