Okay, after mylot's maintenance thingy yesterday - people were like complaining about this stars. From everyone's tone it seemed to be very important. So, what exactly are they for? I've heard it increases your earnings so I'm interested. (anybody will be) New around here so - thanks in advance!

Iam not sure whether it increases the earnings. I realize that, when I participate alot, the star increases. Just participate as much as you can.

Thank you very much. But participating? Does commenting with every post people responded to my discussion count? Well, I don't have time responding to other posts as I'm flooded with notifications every minute. *that's a good thing to my traffic i believe but it worries me.

Yes, I do comment on any post that I find interesting and adds to my star.

You will have your own star when you reach 100. Some says that it is factor on how mylot computes the payment but I'm not sure about that

you are very welcome ehleon. It is not hard to get 20 post count because there's a lot of interesting discussions here in mylot that you can respond to and you can also get another post count in the same topic if you comment in any response in that topic but as much as possible give quality response/comments. Goodluck

You can learn about the meanings of your User Rating and MyLot Reputation here: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq11.aspx and about the Discussion Rating System here: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx You will see your own star (and reputation) when you reach a User Rating of 100. Until then, make sure that you always post excellent quality, descriptive, relevant and original discussions, responses and comments so that other users will be more inclined to give you positive ratings. The more you can give to the community, the more you will receive! Don't forget that EVERY discussion, response and comment you make will be earning you something though not all will increase your User Rating. Your user rating will increase by 1 for: (a) any discussion of yours which receives either two responses or a response and a comment; (b) the first response and the first comment which you make in any discussion (usually people only make one response in a discussion, though it's possible to respond twice; people quite frequently make more than one comment, however, especially in their own discussions).
