mylot numbers and rankings

The 'star' number is your MyLot Reputation and is controlled by the Discussion Rating System. The number in brackets is your User Rating and represents (roughly) the number of discussions you have created or responded to. Both of these are explained in the FAQs: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq.aspx Look under "User Rating" and "Discussion Rating System" As you will see, they can both fluctuate. The more positive ratings that people give your discussions and responses, the higher your reputation will be. Especially when your User Rating is low, posting a lot of discussions or responses which haven't yet been rated can make your Reputation fall a little temporarily, so do not be too concerned about it.

i have the same question as you ask. i still confuse whether this star and ranking influence our earning. mine is 0 right now. i don't know to get it. what i do is just make some discussions and responds to another member discussions.
