Ok, I did a brief search, but couldn't find the answer to this one, so maybe someone can tell me.
I see a lot of people post about their star rating as being xx of 100. How do you tell what your rating is? I mean I know how to tell on the 1-10 scale that corresponds with your star, but what about on the 1-100 scale? I can't seem to find it anywhere!

All you do is put your cursor over your star and you will see what your rating is. I didn't know either and someone was talking about it and luckily someone else said how to see our own.

Thank you so much for posting this! I just now get it and see what everyone is talking about! I'm glad I found your thread, because I was just getting ready to start a new discussion and hate all the repeated discussions!

According to myLot, it’s based on an algorithm derived from rating your responses and discussions. I think really, from what I’ve seen of stars and ratings, that it’s quality based somehow. Quantity doesn’t cut it as an answer. There are a few people with low ratings and many more responses than most. There are a lot of theories, from punctuation to mythological preferences of myLot, based on guesswork.
I'd say a percentile is a natural mathematical result from an algorithm, but not much of an indicator as how it's calculated.

I Just posted a thing on this I think it has something to do with the color of the star, Not sure but from what I understand from people that have answered my post this is what I get. When I go over my star it gives the percentage out of 100 but the color might have something to do with it. Good Luck
