Hello Matt, Star is basically the reputation of the user here in Mylot and the color of the star depends on the number on the star we are having on it.It goes down or up with the rating other users give us on our responses or comments.The highest star is BLUE with 10 written on it.

It takes more than several ratings for your number to even go up one point. I mean way more than several!

How do you know you've six next to go up? I think this number increases for every single rate but I am not sure. I use mylot on cellphone so I can't see my reputation. Please tell me how much is my reputation our of hundred?

hey it is only up to you means if your posts are very good and then other members rates you positively and your numbers will increases according to that but if your posts are not good then members of mylot may give you negative rating this will decrease your rating. so if wanted to increase your rating then try to post quality content so that everyone gives you a positive rating and don't forget to rate other members posts also but in positive way if possible.

It takes time, but dont worry. Laast night i've earned only 1 cent for all the post ive made lol. but they might add it to next earning

Hi matt just be patient as a lot of new comers do not realize they are supposed to rate their fellow mylotters. it will take a little time, As people rate you your rating will go up and your star will change color and your reputation will rise accordingly. you will sdoon be red or blue the two colors who will make the most money as our reputations are figured into the mylot admins algorithm earning so you will earn better once you are on 9 or 10 star.
