I have been in mylot for many months now. I never read or find the meaning of the color-coded stars before our username. It has several colors- yellow, white, red, blue, pink etc. Inside the stars are numbers.What's the significane of the colors and numbers? I am just curious. I really do not put meaning to it at first- but sometinmes I i just wonder what is the significance of these color-coded stars. Will anybody be kind enough to explain it?

well,you can consider it as the quality of your discussion and reply.When someone rates you or when some one selects yours as the best response,I think mylot reputation will change........but not at once..........it needs several ratings to increase one point.............and these stars are given only to those whose number of posts is above 100..............as you can well see ,I have just crossed 100 posts.........but ,I have only a reputation of 54/100 .......I hope atleast it increases in the future...........you have a reputation of 74/100............as far I saw the best I saw was 99/100...............Hope you too well get that magical figure soon............ Cheers!

colours are dependent on stars. there are various colour for various stars. Now he star depends on Mylot reputation. the reputation is calcutaed by how you are rated by other mylotters.

You are right you have to post 100 responses and comments are not included. My ranking fluctuates from 7 to 8. I really do not know the basis for the scoring. Anyway enjoy posting. You will soon reach 100 and you see your star.

ahm, its your reputation on mylot, on how others rate your or how popular are you on a certain topic. its easy to acquire stars if you have posts in every topic in any specific categorize. its funny because i dont really know where i got my star, i post wherever i like and i dont usually stick with one categorize alone. lol

It shows you their mylot reputation, if you scroll your mouse pointer over it and keep it there, a little thing pops ups and tells you their reputation out of 100. Therefore the colours and number are like ranking numbers!! Try it with yours!!

I started to have a star when I reached 100 post. I started with the rank of 8 now I went down to 7. Perhaps I should do more quality post.
