Is this true?

It does not dictate; it's just one of the factors they consider in giving the rate of earnings or the amount which they give to a certain post. MyLot could not scan all our posts but they have a way to determine how many stars they give which contributes also on how much is the worth of the post.

Your star rating represents your reputation here in mylot. Every time they gave you a positive response your ratings will go up but if they gave your response or discussions a negative response your rating will go down. So in order to make maintain your ratings keep posting quality response and discussions. Good luck!

oh really? it's about our star rating? can you try it on me? make this post the best one and let's see if my earning elevates to something higher than 2 cents per post. lolz.

I don't know, I thought the star rating came from others rating our posts, but I'm not sure. My theory is that mylot doesn't actually scan our posts either, I think it goes on how many words or how many lines of text we have in our posts. People say it's the quality and I'm sure this would be ideal, but there are thousands of posts put up every day and I really cannot see the people of mylot sitting down and reading through all of them. I think it has to be some kind of computer program scanning through them and spitting out the numbers, doing the calculations and such.

Admin can determine the number of stars each user is given and perhaps there's no reason why they can't consider the number of stars in calculating the rate of earning of a user. I think that the star rating is considered in giving how much does a post is valued.
