What are the colored, numbered stars beside our usernames? / myLot

Confused star - A star I drew now to represent my feelings about the ones beside our name.

I've always wondered this, and I wonder, do any of you know? My star changed from a red one with a number 9 on it to a yellow one with an 8 sometime between last night and this morning, and I'm really curious as to what they mean. Does anyone know?

It's all explained in the FAQs. Look at the sections on "User Rating & myLot Reputation" and "DRS - Discussion Rating System", particularly.

Lol, i have to say that you are very good with writing if you have rating 8 for only that number of posts you got. When i started, before 6 months, i had to write much more to reach a good level...

Congratulations about the good rating and keep being positive and nice with the people around, if that's your natural attitude, this is how the others will rate you and will help you to reach a good rating here.

Thanks very much! I try to be nice and contribute to the discussions. :) So, if I am to understand the way this system works, when I get plus signs and such, my number goes up?
