I haven't been here at MyLot in quite some time and everything has changed.

Can someone explain to me how come there are little stars by some peoples mnames?
What do these stars signify, how popular you are or how good you post in discussions?

How come I don't have one?
Will I ever get one?

Do you all pay attention to them or is it just some silly thing for people to tinker with if they don't like what you say here?

Any help you can provide me will be very much appreciated.

Your star is just your user rating from how others have rated your discussions or responses. You're supposed to rate responses by clicking the + or - signs on the right so, the more you post, the more ratings you get. You have to post for awhile before you get a rating and I don't think you get any perks for having a good one. It's just something to look at I guess. lol


terribleturtle (64)  1 month ago

Thank you so much, So much has changed since I was last here.

I will mark your response with a plus then.

the stars r sposed to mean how popular u r here but i think they r broken otherwise my star would be a perfect 10 like me.


terribleturtle (64)  1 month ago

I hope that people love me here.

Green is my favorite color, is there a way that I can have mine green when I'm lucky enough to get one?

I love your avatar xboxgirl, sunflowers are one of my favorites.

I guess I will mark you with a plus, will that make you a ten?


myLot reputation of 92/100. Goodie123 (6880)  1 month ago

Xboxgirl where have you been, away on another holiday hummmm.
We have missed you.
Geez I did not know people thought of you as unpopular, I always thought you were very err......... sort of well liked.

The stars determine your myLot popularity, turtle. They do seem to be quite the source of controversy around here, from what I can tell. I think the only thing fun about them is the colors.


terribleturtle (64)  1 month ago

You have one of those pretty blue stars, I'll bet they love you around here.

You must be a pretty popular member.

I'd like a green star because I like that color.

I think that having a popular member can be a good thing to have around, don't you?


myLot reputation of 92/100. galadr1el (627)  1 month ago

I like green, too, turtle. Actually yellow is my favorite color, so eight is a good number to have. I think green is four or five.


terribleturtle (64)  1 month ago

I bet you like xboxgirls avatar too then. I love sunflowers.


myLot reputation of 92/100. galadr1el (627)  1 month ago

Yes, I love sunflowers, actually.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Goodie123 (6880)  1 month ago

If you like sunflowers "Gal" you should come for a visit when hubby has his planted.
They grow to about 9 foot tall and the flower is absolutely huge.

HiYa TT, welcome back.
Do not worry about the silly stars, the stars do not signify what we as people are.
They only signify what some members think of us.
Friends are more important then stars.
Yes you will get a star once the number beside your name reaches 100.
I do not judge a person by their star.
It is not the star that makes you, it is you the person I look at.
Hope to see you post some more discussions TT.


terribleturtle (64)  1 month ago

What a kind and warm greeting Goodie. I already feel welcome here.

Its been a long time since I last visited here, there were only a few thousand members now its over a hundred thousand. I guess I'll quit worrying about the silly little star if its used the way you say it is.

Reminds me of a song.

Tinker tinker with your star
It just shows how popular you are.
Up above your name it does sit
Those that care, like eating

I forgot the last word. Oh well. Its very nice to meet you Goodie


myLot reputation of 92/100. Goodie123 (6880)  1 month ago

It is a real pleasure meeting you also TT.
No matter what happens to your star when you receive it, do not let it bother you.
I would much rather have lovely friends then a star.


myLot reputation of 92/100. galadr1el (627)  1 month ago

LMAO, he's funny, Goodie!


myLot reputation of 92/100. Goodie123 (6880)  1 month ago

I wonder if he is cute also "Gal"

"Tinker tinker with your star

"I forgot the last word"

It wouldn't be a hot dog would it?


terribleturtle (64)  4 weeks ago

Slobbery hot dog!

Thats it.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Goodie123 (6880)  4 weeks ago

Hotdog with melted cheese and mustard.


myLot reputation of 59/100. WhatsHerName (1389)  4 weeks ago

Maybe it's a cheese dog?

I have a job for you if you are interested.

Boy, I sure would like my star to be blew.


myLot reputation of 59/100. WhatsHerName (1389)  4 weeks ago

I'm jealous!
I didn't even know myLot had a cherry stem.

 
6. Plethora (37)   1 month ago

The posters here were informative, im glad you asked this, i had wondered.

Well, when i get to 100, if i dont like my number, I shall just liquid paper over it and that will be the end of it:)


terribleturtle (64)  1 month ago

That is the best laugh I have had in a week Plethora.

Really, my kids came over to see what I was going on about.

Well done.


Plethora (37)  1 month ago

Heehee! Thank you terribleturtle.

Proud to be a source of entertainment.

Pehaps someday I'll figure out what was so funny about it.


terribleturtle (64)  1 month ago

The kids came over again.

Two laughs now.
Thanks.


Plethora (37)  1 month ago

Thank you for the pencil. What colour is it?


terribleturtle (64)  4 weeks ago

Whatever color (colour) is is it makes no difference Plethora, won't you just use white-out on it?

Do they make white-out in different colors(colours)?

Do you think white-out is a racist term?


Plethora (37)  4 weeks ago

Oh! You are right, they do make it in colours.. I will use blue white out and fool everyone!

:( How can there be blue white out?


myLot reputation of 59/100. WhatsHerName (1389)  4 weeks ago

I think the term "white-out" is just as a racist term as Black Eyed Peas.


myLot reputation of 59/100. WhatsHerName (1389)  4 weeks ago

Welcome both of you!
Just remember if you tip toe around here and suck up, you will get a 10. If you voice your opinion and someone finds it offensive you will start out with a lower number.
I prefer a 5, I like to try to do all things in moderation.


terribleturtle (64)  4 weeks ago

Thanks for that warm welcome WhatsHerName.
I can't tell you how much its appreciated.

 
7. myLot reputation of 86/100. hornymanclergyman (186)   1 month ago

I think that the stars indicate how offensive people find us.


myLot reputation of 92/100. galadr1el (627)  1 month ago

So, the higher the star the more offensive we are? I guess I should be happy mine dropped so much overnight, huh? Means people find me less offensive. LOL


terribleturtle (64)  1 month ago

My guess is that people really respect you then.
I wonder what my star will be???


myLot reputation of 59/100. WhatsHerName (1389)  4 weeks ago

Well why don't you think people find you offensive Horny?

 
8. quickchangeartist (10)   4 weeks ago

I'm not 100% sure what the stars are all about, but based on the numbers, it seems like somewhat of a popularity contest. I've never been very popular, nor has that ever mattered to me, so I imagine mine wouldn't be that high once I get one.


terribleturtle (64)  4 weeks ago

I'm still quite a ways a way from reaching star power so I'll be wondering if my star will be high too.

Most stars I've heard of are always high or in rehab.

TT

 
9. myLot reputation of 59/100. WhatsHerName (1389)   4 weeks ago

I'm sure by now you know when you get a star by now. I have been here a long time and have yet to figure out what the stars are supposed to signify. They confuse the heck out of me because I kind of think we shouldn't be trying to judge each other, at least until we get to know each other better.
I have learned pretty much to ignore them, like first looks when you meet people, they can deceive you.


terribleturtle (64)  4 weeks ago

That is a fine piece of advise and I am starting to think that is right on the money.
I have been guilty of overreacting at different times in my life, but judging someone by the color of their star seems just silly.

I think you have a pretty star it suits you well.

Thanks for the fine response.

TT


myLot reputation of 92/100. Goodie123 (6880)  4 weeks ago

That is excellent advice WhatsHerName.
Stars are nothing it is the person behind the star that counts.


myLot reputation of 59/100. WhatsHerName (1389)  4 weeks ago

Thank you both.
I have another avatar that I think suits me better as well. I just wanted to wear this funny hat for awhile. I think it's time to take it off though, someone told told me I look better without it.
