What is mylot reputation ?

MyLot Reputation (your 'star' rating) is discussed here: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq11.aspx#3 Because the Discussion Rating System is a major factor both in your MyLot Reputation and in the Earnings algorithm, those with a lower 'star' value will tend to earn less than those with a higher rating. You may see people assert that the 'star' value directly affects your earnings, however, the way that the FAQs describe it shows that it's more like: Fire (Discussion Ratings System) produces both Smoke (MyLot Reputation) and Flames (member's assessment of Quality for each individual post) but only the Flames will boil the kettle (i.e., increase our earnings).
