what does the star near ur name indicate

This is our rating count.Each and every post of us can be rated by the other members of mylot either with + ve or - ve. Accordingly our ratings are calculated.If we violate the terms of the the site, the users will rate our discussion or response as negative and hence our overall rating will reduce.The higher the rating will be the higher the earnings. The rating star will be awarded to us ,only after we made 100 discussions or respones. You will get it soon. You may refer http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx to know about the rating.

The star is the ratings that other users have given to our responses to discussons. You will notice next to each respone there is a + and a -. These are what other users use to rate us. Sometimes a user will get a - if someone disagrees with them, and it isn't fair but it happens Mylot has changed the rating systme now though so that won't happen as much as it used to. Once you reach 100 posts then you will get your star, and all you can do is hope for a high number. Mine started at a 3 and now I am at a 10, and it was a gradual increase, but I am so happy I have it now. Just do your best and post quality and you might be surprised and get a high star. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
