I notice a star that is by my name and it seems to change the number inside it and the color on different days? What is a good star higher or lower number? Do you pay and attention to this or try to make your star better? Just curious :)

You will see your star too when the number beside your name reaches 100. The value of your star is determined by the number of plusses that others rate your posts with. The more plusses the higher the star. The star also affects your earnings. You can read all about it here: : http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx

Other users rate your posts with the +/-/! icons beside each post. The more plusses you receive the higher your star will be and the higher the value of your star the more you will earn too. I am aware of my star but not concerned about it. Mine was red once and then I was victim of the attention of neg raters That cannot happen now as we are now only allowed to rate each single user 11 times each day and if stars drop significantly then admin will intervene. Neg rating others affects our own star too.

lol it's good if you wanted a high star but it's bad if yu would have preferred a lower one You can hover your cursor over the stars and see the pecentage of ratings each user has received. 95.1+% is a blue star 85.1+% is red 75.1+% is yellow and so on. You can work the others out for yourself!

Of course I do consider about the star because it's a matter of my reputation & I would love to have a good reputation & it would hurt to see my reputation go down. Plus your earnings also depends on your reputation & if you have a lower reputation, you will have lesser earnings. That means if you have a red or a blue star, your earnings will be more than a person with green or silver star. Hence I always care about my earnings & reputation but that doesn't stop me from giving honest responses or comments & after all it's about being nice to others & helping others & the stars will come automatically Happy Lotting

I agree its always nice to have a nice reputation. Here on mylots im just being myself and i agree the stars will come. I wouldnt agree with something i disagreed with strongly just to be liked or good reputation. I am me and i think everyone is made differently for a reason just have to be open to others feeling and expressions.

Hello Good2go2001, Once you have reach 200 post ( now you have 198 post) you will see a star near your user name. It is a rating about your reputation. The good rating you got, the highest number you will get in the star, maximum is number 10, I am having a star with number 10 rating!

The star comes when you reach 100. You get the smilies when you reach 200

Hi again, After I post the response, I can see you have got 202 post and you got the star now! You have rating of number 10. When ever you response to a discussion, it is good for you to put the rating for others, I always put + sign as I see the discussion is interesting! Happy Mylotting!
