what does the star mean next to your name

hi coolimrose you really should read all the FAQ's and the guidelines too to get more adequate and truer knowledge than word of mouth from some who are also new,stars of blue and red are the best for earnings as our reputations the number in our stars are figured into the mylot earning algorithm. now as you may be on the cusp between yellow or red,if mylotters are kind and rate all your posts with pluses you will see the star go back to red,have you read any of the information you were supposed to? you are supposed to as are all other mylotter to rate your fellow my lotters as you respond to posts. if you like the post give them a plus,if you do not think it furthers the my lot system give it a minus but look do not get minus crazy as a lot of minuses bring our stars way down.also do not minus someone's post because you do not agree minus only if its an insulting or rude post,its not really too bad to go to a yellow as you will probably be back to red tomorrow.
