What is the use of points in Mylot?

There are certain milestones that you may want to reach. First is the 100 posts milestone. Once the number besides your username reach 100, you will then have a star with a number and a certain color, just like what you see in other myLotters. It rises and fall every time a member rate a positive or negative to your posts. So we always better to be good and respectful to other members. Next milestone is the 200 posts mark, once you reach it, you will be able to use emoticons and some text modification like bold, italic and underline. Then if you will keep on posting and reach the 500 posts mark, you will then be able to copy and paste. That is my next target and I am almost there. Well, those are the things that I can tell you about those points that you are asking. Hope it helps. Good day and happy myLotting!

Sorta. I don't think it's the ending factor in the administration's decision of how much money to give you (your star-rating also has something to do with it, and how much traffic 'your discussions' (both 'those you start' AND 'those you join') get, and how many referrals you have, and your ranking in various discussion-types, and various other "red herrings" that look like they might matter to bean-counters ). Plus, there's all sorts of 'scripts' & other programs monitoring everything here to make sure no one's "gaming it." So the best advice: just don't worry about it! Make the discussions valuable to you (think of them as 'gifts you are given because myLotters are nice'), and the money will take care of itself!

The number beside your name is called your User Rating and (very roughly) counts the number of discussions you have been involved in NOT the total number of posts you have made. It bears little or no relationship to what you will actually earn. Your User Rating does two main things. It tells other users (roughly) how many discussions you have participated in and it allows you certain privileges at certain levels: 100 or more: You can rate other users' posts and you will see your own MyLot Reputation (The Discussion Rating System IS factored in to the Earnings algorithm). 200 or more: You will be able to use emoticons from the menu on the left 500 or more: You will be able to copy and paste more than very small amounts of text. This is NOT an invitation to plagiarise! It can be useful, however, if you like to write your discussions and responses in a Word Processor and if you need to quote short passages to illustrate your discussions. You will also be able to add images to your responses and comments as well as when posting a discussion topic.

Well, is the point your were talking about is the one who has a dollar sign? If it is yes, probably it is your money you have earned after contributing here on Mylot.
