I just noticed that I now have a star above my name with the number 7 in it. What exactly does that mean? I hope it's good.

The higher the number the better. It's calculated on the number of positive and negative ratings you have received. 7 is pretty good really.

Thanks for the help. I'm still pretty new here, only about 2 weeks I think.

It's your MyLot reputation. It shows up after reason a user rating(post count) of 100. You can find more info by checking out the FAQ: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq11.aspx

I guess I should have checked here first. Sorry about posting something so obvious. Guess that's what happens when you are a newbie.

I was thinking about documenting the different colors, but haven't seen all of them yet. I know that a reputation of 10 is blue, 9 is red, 8 is yellow/gold, 7 as you already know is white, 6 is pink, 5 is green, 3 is brown and 1 is light blue. I'm hoping to not figure out what the color of 4 is myself. My goal is to gain a reputation of 7 or 8 in the coming months.

I checked the FAQ like you said but it doesn't say anything about the different colour stars. Do you know anything about that. Mine is white, but I've also seen green and yellow/gold and probably others but I don't remember what colour they were.

yES it is positive thing here...such as when you reach your first 100 posts you will have a star so the number inside is your rating that it can be improved by your activity as well!! So now is silver whe your rating will be higer than now also the star will chenage the colour!! This is only to have a rating for users and community here...this don't affect your earnings you cna have daily or monthly!!

i think the mylot star is a combination of the no. of posts that we had and other mylotters' rating of the responses or posted discussions we made.

It has to do with your ratings. As you might have noticed you are now an 8. It goes up as people rate your discussions. When you post a discussion and people respond there is a + and a - just below your discussion off to the right hand side. It is important that people rate other people's discussions in order to give them a higher rate (if it is indeed a good one). I gave you a + by the way. Have a super day!

From what I can tell from the myLot FAQ and other things I think that the star above your name has to do with your reputation, like the number of times people have rated you good or bad. I'm not quite sure how to read yours or if it's good or bad but it seems like it may be good. But myLot isn't very clear about things like this. I think they should go into greater detail about how the site works and how to understand things.

I just gave you another + to get you on your way. When you get to 100 posts you are given a star. Just keep posting quality posts and it will probably go up. If you get controversial in politics and religion it will probably go down. I have not checked but I am told people who hang around those subjects are not highly rated. Some people say it affects your earnings, others say not. I think somewhere in the FAQ it says it does.
