Do the number on the stars really change the amount of money much?

I noticed a big difference normally when I only do 20 or 30 posts a day i get around 30 cents or so yesterday i got 83 cents for 20 post or so.

I don't think I will ever understand MyLot. Yesterday I got a few extra cents (must have been yours, ha, ha), and to-day I am posting responses and my points are going up and down. I am trying really hard only to post responses to topics which I think are geniune and will not be removed. Must watch and see if I get a point after responding to your discussion.

I don´t think the star system will affect our earnings. Will have to wait and see though. It´s just like it was at school, the rating is supposed to give you an idea about how you´re doing. It can´t be the amount of posts one makes, because I haven´t made that many and my star rating is a 9. And I have been here for quite some time. That´s just my theory though, no one else but the myLot staff knows the "whys" and "hows".

I don't think that the star rating is factored into the earnings algorithm but I can't be sure. I think it's probably too early to say. The star rating is something like the ratings on Ebay. It represents what other people think of your postings and whether you get many pluses (or minuses) and how many best answers you earn. While I agree that people who consistently post good responses (and good topics) should be rewarded, I am not sure that a person's popularity or activity should affect their earnings too much. I think that the recent big bump in earnings that some people saw today was due to a housekeeping exercise and that a number of discussions were deleted and maybe some users suspended. That money is always redistributed.

I haven't noticed that much at my earnings..I think it is the same as when I did not have any stars.

i must say that as far as i heard from my friends and other users stars have affected earning very much making people who post quality thing more privilaged and earning way more then a crap-posters!. This is a super quality for me cause now good guys will be promoted :)

I'am not sure if the earnings go up for the members with higher numbers on there stars or not but it will halp members to know if there doing good or not as there numbers on there stars go higher.

I really dont know how mylot rates us from 1 to 10. And I also dont notice if having a higher rating means higher earnings ,too. I hope it does so we can earn more.

this is what i understood from mylot guidelines. users with a user rating of less than 100 will not yet have myLot reputation myLot reputation is determined by the myLot community,not user It doesn’t mean that 8 stars means “good user” and 5 stars means “bad user” only indicate how active user are increase your reputation is by contributing quality topics, responses and comments and avoid breaking mylot rules!

I think the stars are good and bad. I only have a 3 but I'm not a spammer but people may percieve me to be because my star is so low. I'm wondering if is to do with activity on the site too. I joined about 2 weeks ago but in that time have only been active for 4 days so possibly I have a lower star because my average activity has been low?

congrats on being a 10 i look up to you and hope to be just like you when i growup lol im pretty new here so i dont no if the ratings make a difference on earnings but it gives us something to work for and hopfully we will have better discussions and less spammers

Well I don't believe that stars affect anything. Its just your luck and the need to understand the Mylot system. It really depends on your posts and since they update payments every 24 hours, the change is certain if you have been on working this forum.

i haven't understand what u said

I got my 6 star at my 140th post but then it declined to 5 and then I really have to struggle hard to get 6,now I have 6 but I want to make it to 10. I have not seen any increase in my earnings.

I don't think that the number affect the money at all. I think it may deter certian people from replying to certian discussions and will hopefully deter spammers. I am hoping we all make MORE money due to the starts.

Wow. I must get a little bit of money because I only have a 7 at the moment. How can I raise it? If I write good posts or what? I hope so because I want a higher star. :). At least an 9 or so.

I don't know but I think it can make some difference. I have never noticed it.

So, that is how it works. I never knew my earning increases when my star rating increases. Well, I am not as good as you I suppose since I am only a 6 star. But I am trying to do better. Right now, I earn about 40 cents for 20 post a day, with a star rating of 6. Let me see how much it would is when my star changes. I hope it changes for the good. But I am so opinionated in matters, and I give my opinions rather frely for one so young, that people don't like it much and sometimes gives a negative rating. But then we cannot really change what we are, can we?

OK, so I know that I could look it up somewhere, I'm sure, but would anyone mind to just tell me what exactly the stars are for and what they count for? Obviously, I'm just a newb' here... lol. I would appreciate your help though ~

i think star ratings are more to do with what people think than with money, but i can be wrong as mylot's real close to the vest with it's payment system to avoid cheats. one trick i learned is if your polite in all answers, you shouldn't loose much (get too many negatives) even if you disagree with the poster's point of view.
