Yes I did try to access info (rather skim info,lolll) on what it means but was unable to get a clear answer. I'm well aware that when one hits the milestone of 100 posts you're entitled to a star, but what does it mean if your star says you're a "9" or a "7" or whatever other number???
Thanks

Another user asked the same question yesterday and I responded there.
I will link you to it rather than reposting everything again.

It means that several people have rated your activity as positive.
The more positive ratings the higher your atar.
Now that you have reached 100 you can rate others but you should read the FAQs to understand how to rate.

That number is your MYLOT rating you get it when you have put over a hundred posts the better the content of your posts the higher the rating. If poeple tag your posts as best response and like them you get a higher rating.

Ohh thanks!!! I was wondering the same as the poster, and also I was worried I couldn't see mine at all. I thought it was one of those things that others see and you don't to make you try harder or something :p. You are great, somehow you managed to answered both doubts at the same time :D. So I have to wait until I get 100 posts to see my own star.

You do yes, when you get over a hundred posts you will see your own rating.

success did you read the guidelines as I think it explains the ratings. we mylotters are to rate each others posts, plus minus or report. the higher the star and percentage the better your reputation here, and the better you earn as our reputations are figured into the algorithm of mylot admins earnings. the different color stars have different percentages. the higher your percentage which is your reputation the better you can earn .blue is highest red is next. we rate on how well the post adds to the discussion, we rate on the posts not on the users. if you are a nine its a good place to be as you will earn better.
