hey i just got a star- what does it mean?

Users with a user rating of less than 100 will not yet have myLot reputation calculated, and will therefore have no star next to their name. myLot reputation updates once per day, so most users should see their reputation appear shortly after reaching a user rating of 100. Remember, myLot reputation is determined by the myLot community, and it is cumulative for all user contributions. Therefore, myLot reputation can fluctuate even without a user participating on any given day. In addition, you shouldn’t think of a particular myLot reputation level as necessarily being “good” or “bad”. It just means that a user with a reputation of 8 is generally more highly thought of by the myLot community than a user with a reputation of 5, and so on and so forth. It doesn’t mean that 8 stars means “good user” and 5 stars means “bad user”. Both are valuable members of the myLot community. As you might have guessed, the best way to increase your reputation is by contributing quality topics, responses and comments and avoid posting low-quality content or items that violate the myLot community guidelines. HOPE ITS HELP

That means you have posted enough comments and discussions to have a reputation. The number shows what level of reputation you have. The higher the number, the better you reputation. Keep it up! Just keep rating other people and reply to the people who responded to your discussions.

A green star means you were not active on mylot.If you were active but your rating is still low then may be your posts got -ve rated.I see that your rating is 9 now that means ou have done well sinse then.
