What is the star with the number in it mean over your avatar?

Thank you for your assistance hopefully I will be a ten (10) like you. :)

I disagree totally! the stars are only indicate if you daily or not are here in MyLot posting! When I had more time I had 9. After with less time I had and have 7. If you see here there are a lot of scammers posting only and always referral links and Ponzi's chains and HYIP.... Now think about? How do you think the MyLot staff could rewiew all our post and make a rating for more than 89,000 members? it is a nonsense! Why here people don't use their brain for thinking a lot? The reputation rating is a metropolitan legend! Keep a bit of time and try to think about!

not necessarily, annihilus. :) i don't log in to mylot everyday. around 3-5 days a week at the most. i actually just logged in today after 3 days without mylot. and mylot says that it's not them that gives you the rating, it's our fellow mylot users. :) there are so many factors why the rating can increase or decrease. truly, as you've said, mylot doesn't have time to rate all its 89,705 users (as of writing) so it's up to the mylot community (meaning other mylot users). :) decrease in rating are sometimes effects of the quality of our discussions or responses. irrelevance, senselessness and rudeness never gets a (+) positive response if you ask around. violations can get a negative effect too. when we respond to users who don't know how to give ratings, then we'll surely have a decrease in ratings. so, if there is anything which is unclear to you, it is better to please ask mylot. thanks! :)
