Hi everyone, I am just new in mylot. I have been posting discussions and responding to discussions, I noticed this star and a number inside of it. Can anyone please tell me what does it mean? And how can I get those? Answers are very welcome and appreciated.

Hi there and welcome. Stars = Reputation. You get once you hit 100 post. The higher reputation, the better you get. Of course, more quality writing is better :) Good luck!

Hey it’s shown your rating. And you also get your rating after reaching 100 posting. And when you reached on 100 posting then it will be shown with your username. I think you may always try to give better response and try to rate all responses when you giving your response to any discussions. it will effected on your rating also.

so that's how it works. I understand now. Just one thing though, how about marking the best response for other member's response to my discussion, what good thing can it do?

Hi louie! Whatever you do here in myLot from participating in discussions, replying to one or post something, you are being rated by other members. At one point I've seen mine up and subsequently down. I should think that it was because of the difficult or the sensitive topics I dealt with or that I simply did not conform to the norm of agreeing with the posters. And I must say too that it had not made me less of the person I am. Happy myLotting my friend!

Hello louie and welcome in myLot! The number that you see inside the stars is reputation of that member.High number is a high reputation.You'll see your reputation after you'll reach 100 points. You can have a high reputation if your topics are a good quality,if you help people with your answer and if you don't breack the rules with your topics.In my Lot are counted both,quantity and quality! I hope that my answer help you! Happy lotting!

Hi louie847, As you've been told before, the star with the number shows the user's reputation. The stars have different colours, and the colour of one star depends on its number. They are blue for the reputation 10, red for 9, yellow for 8, white for 7, violet for 6, green for 5 and so on. As a new user, do try to gain a higher reputation, as they say you can earn more if you have a higher reputation. I'm not sure about this information, but I've seen some older myLotters interpreted the FAQs like this. You can read here more about reputation and user ratings, do read it when you have time: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq11.aspx http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx
