the numbers vary though, it can be from 1 to 9. is it like a ranking of sorts? if yes, for what? and what is the "highest" number, 1 or 9? thanks in advance. ive been a member for a year now, but i just became active last february..

i guess the ranking is affecting with your earnings. and the most highest color that i see was color green. and the lowest i sow was color yellow. but i dont know what is the lowest color and the highest color. your color was high one i think.

the highest is 10, it is color blue, while the lowest is 1, although i havent seen a mylot user with that rating so far, so i cant tell you what color it is. i also dont know if the rating affects our earnings though.the highest that they pay for a good response is 0.3 cents.

nope, they only pay 3 cents for the best and lengthy responses, if you responded a one liner or 2 liner sentences, they wont pay you for that. and i think the ratings help too coz i responded to a ton of discussions here and was expecting to get at least 50 cents but i only got 34 cents as compared to the other day when i responded to many discussions and i earned 44 cents. i think it has something to do with the ratings that why i didnt earn as much considering the number of posts i posted. its because my ratings went down.

3cents that was to high for a post. even if its too short it will cost about a 3cents in a row.

Once you reach your 100th post you can see your star. It is your rating based on how often you get a positive rating from other myLotters. A 9 is really great! Congratulations! It starts at 1 and the highest is a 10 so, just keep on keeping on!

The highest rank is 10; the lowest is one. I am also a 9. I have about 16 times as many responses as you. I don't know what you need to do to reach level 10, the highest level. I'm just trying.

It means you have posted 100 posts, which is our first reward for being active, and the 9 in the star is your ranking. The highest ranking you can achevive is a 10. So you are doing good. Enjoy posting.
