My Reputation rises from 51 to 60. I am glad

when i first reached my 100 posts, i had an 8 star rating. and i also wondered about the 9 and 10 stars. fellow mylotters were kind enough to give tips and suggestions on how i can make it possible to increase my ratings. i did everything they told me. (i'm such a good follower -lol-) i noticed that the more i participated and made quality posts, the higher the reputation gets. it just crept up over time until it reached 10. as a summary they suggested the following: - do quality posts (relevant, helpful... no one-liners and such) - do the ratings, both the discussion starter as well as responses and comments you received - add comments whenever you can - choose best responses when possible - do the tags (always) - make friends with fellow mylotters and participate in their discussions too - and enjoy! when i did those, they also commensurate to higher earnings. it may or may not be directly responsible, but i believe they became positive factors. hope these things would help you as much as it did for me. goodluck!

Oh, that means you are now more popular than me! LOL .. I already have 300+ posts here but my reputation level is only 58, you're 60 from only 100+ posts. Maybe the basis for reputation level here is based on popularity like number of profile views and comments (like best responses you have earned), not based on number of posts. Of course, if you have thousands of posts here, your number of profile views will also rise accordingly. But it is not solely based on number of posts.

As you make helpful discussions and give useful responses, people will rate you higher. Your rating can only improve if you are active here. I have always been pretty active, even before they put the ratings system in place.

Its sound funny but can you help me out. I also want to know my reputation in mylot. But don't know where to look. I only know the star 3 means you are lousy poster and 10 means your the best and have quality post. But I never thought theirs a mylot reputation gauge in here. Please teach me how. thanks.

Seriously, I don't really know, however, it can be noted that most 10 starred members have over 1000 posts. All I can say is the give informative posts, post long, or post good quality information, and help other members up. As you post more, you should be able to see your star go up higher, though a few times for some reason my ranking got lower. :(
