Star above my name

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.

i believe the seven in your name is your star rating - kind of like your reputation on mylot. the more people that give you a positive rating, the higher the number will be. the numbers range from 1-10, so 7 is pretty good. it also goes on how interesting your discussions are, and how long your responses are. one sentance responses aren't too good, so make sure you give long and interesting reponses.

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

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.

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!!

hii dear friend..nice to meet you here..congrats dear friend..U got the star and it is 7..Getting 7 star at the starting itself is really a good..You are maintaining a good way posting the responses..Star is positive ratings of your responses..These rating are given by the other mylotters..By star is presently 9..I was working hardly to get the star 10..It takes time for me to get the 10..Star will comes when we cross the 100 discussions..Now you are at 108 so you got the star..Happy mylotting dear friend..have a nice day..keep smiling..

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.

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!

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.
