How myLot reputation rating works?

The more you post quality posts the more are the chances that your rating improve. Mylot users who are reading your posts can press either the minus button (-) or the plus (+) button for a positive response. The more positive responses you get the more your rating will improve. I don't think that there is any financial gain but I am subject to be corrected.

I don't know if there is any advantage or financial gain to it. The rating here is how users on mylot have rated your discussions and your responses. The rating numbers seem to go up and down maybe depending on how often we have upset somebody or not
