Hey, mylotters and friends! It's been weeks since I last posted a discussion to start with. Anyways, I don't want to sound stupid here but for just a month I really enjoy being updated here as everyday as I could. Well, this discussion is all about the star here in mylot... Please tell of what is that all about. For my first three weeks here I noticed that there is a star beside my username with #9 and 5 days ago I noticed that my star change to #10... What is that all about? Is it a good sign? Does it mean that I am doing good here or else? Please response and forgive me for this sort of stupidity...

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i am glad to see you back on this site and i know this is a very common query of most of the people. Even i had this query before. A star besides your name indicates the level of activeness on this site. A rating of 10 is the highest which means that mylot and other fellow mylotters have loved your work and that is how u got this rating. So u should be glad that u have got a highest rating. So keep working this way and do not concentrate on these ratings. What say?

hi again she meant do not worry but we should all rate each other as the admins has asked us to do and as most everyone does their best I give all a plus each day. you see they want us all to rate so more can have better stars. the higher the stars the better your earnings so yes do rate as a habit the reputations of us all are figured into the mylot algorithm of earnings so you will help to keep o r earnings better by rating as you go along reading the posts. it only takes a few seconds to do this.
