red star to blue star

Actually, it doesn't really mind what star you have, just for the eye. I like the red star a lot, almost more than the blue star, and definitely more than the 8 star, because that's what I was stuck with for a long time, and I didn't even like it's colour. I have to say that I like 9 and 10 more than the others. I don't know why, but I think that it might have something to do with the colour and the number itself. In school, we have grades from 4 to 10, so of course, 9 and 10 are the ones that make me happy. That's maybe one reason too, that I like to have a nine as my star, because it's good enough for me in school. I do admire member with a high star, maybe because of the reasons above, but they don't really tell anything. Someone could post really good quality posts, but still get rated - by a troll (see for older posts)... Anyway, we all are of the same value, even if our star would be 0. No one is above the other and no one is below someone else, but we are all of the same value. This said, the 9s and 10s are a bit higher than the others because people rate + their posts, but whatever...

My Star is purple? I'm not certain I thought it was blue not long ago. I am really trying to understand all the information, but the FAQ is starting to leave me more confused then anything else. *sighs* I suppose as long as I'm posting and such its not to terribly important, but I am curious.

hi common_man, i never keep on eye on my star it may be blue,red ,green,yellow some thing,i too does not know about rating also,i never cared for rating also,our rating will be changing time to time according to the discussions and responses we are postings,i admire all people who posted good postings,have a nice day

I actually just noticed I went from a 9 to a ten and got a blue star. Is this decided by mylotters, or mylot?

It took me a while to reach the blue star too. I was a red star forever...lol..you'll log on before you know it and there it will be for you.

I reached my '10 star' status pretty early in life here and have managed to retain it although it did go down in between. It does feel good to see that number and I shall continue to participate the way I am participating now not really knowing how the rating is done !!
