Beside everyone's username is a colored star with a number in it. What does that number represent? What does it mean? Thank you in advance for your help.

If I am not mistaken, I think that the star represents the quality of the content that you post. It goes in different colors and rates from 1-10. The higher it is, the more times you have been rated positive. I could be wrong though. I am still sort of cloudy on this whole star issue.

I think that you're right about being rated positive. Also, my mistake, it was 73/100, not 83/100. But you have the right idea, it is based on how well you post.

Well I learned something new because I didn't know that if you mouse over it that you could see something, lol. I just figured it was left up to us to guess. lol. So, mine says 77/100. Does that mean I was rated 77 times? Just wondering how they figure all of that out. I am gonna look in the FAQ and see if I can find something, if so I will post it here.

Wow, thank you both for your response. It was very helpful. My number is only four, so I guess I should start making better responses. Thanks again.

Good question, Brandon. Somebody answered this in another post, but here's the answer: Once you get to 100 posts, you will see a star based on your MyLot reputation. If you mouse over it, it should show you a number out of 100. That is your reputation rating. If this number is high, that means you're posting a lot good discussions and responses. As you can see, my reputation is 8. Last time I checked, that was 83/100. I hope that helps.
