I am a novice, I have a question.

The star next to user names is their reputation. Each user gets a star when he makes one hundred posts. You have just started, so you have to be active here until you reach 100 posts, then you'll see your star. I hope it will be a high one! Make sure you write meaningful responses and comments in order to get a higher reputation. If your activity is rated negatively by other users, your star will show a lower reputation.

You just participate in discussions. Write meaningful substances. You need not worry about the stars. That is Mylot's headache not yours. Have fun. Happy Mylotting...

one of my friend is told after reaching 100 posts we will get the star mark.
