what is the star besides your mylot's username?

first you will have your own star when you reach a user/activity rating( the number in parenthesis right after your username) of 100. The number inside that star is our mylot reputation which is base on the ratings given by fellow mylotters to our posts. So if you will contribute good quality posts that is meaningful, informative or useful your post will more likely be rated as a positive by fellow members which will help your reputation.

Hi arianne, those stars represent as your mylot reputation which can increase higher or decrease here is the discussion explaining further about the mylot star next to our username http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2601114.aspx hope it helps happy mylotting.

The star is your 'MyLot Reputation' and depends on how other members rate your posts using the '+' and '-' buttons next to them. You don't get to see your star until you have a User Rating of 100. User Rating is (more or less) how many discussions you have been involved in - it is not a 'post count' as such because once you have posted once in a discussion (as a response) it doesn't increase any more, however many comments you may post in that discussion (though you DO earn for everything you type!). The best thing to do to understand all about the star, the User Rating and the Discussion Rating System is to look at these FAQ pages: User Rating & MyLot Reputation: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq11.aspx Discussion Rating System: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx

well my friend i believe that it is the level of a member in form of stars which is their with the name of every individual which reveals that how much the member has progressed over the time on mylot using good writing skills.....

The star next to your name is your reputation score on the site. You need to have 100 responses made before your rating begins. The range is from 0-10. Ten is the highest level you can achieve. This information is in the FAQ section under reputation and responses under the myLot tab's guidelines if you want to read more about it. The rating system is designed to go up and down depending upon the responses you make, how you contribute and how others like or dislike the information that is provided. Hope this helps!

I get the star when I reach 100 post (discussions+responds) and the star number will increase or decrease depending to your rating, more positive rating you get, your star number (mylot reputations) will increase, and more negative rating you get, your star number will decrease, keep mylotting!!!!!!
