what is the star next to your name?

Hey hi,congratulation for getting star, well it stands for how quaity replies you posted here and stared discussions, and how people rated you,and appreciated your responses by marking those as best,as here you can make money just by answering discussions on mylot, and starting new discussions too, infact you can boost your earning by uploading photos, so keep posting quality responses, keep searching good discussions about which you know something and can answer, strictly avoid one liner posts,best luck and happy earning!!!...cheers!!

The star is your reputation level on mylot. The higher, the better. Your star/reputation level goes up as you post quality responses on mylot. As long as you keep posting good responses, your reputation will go up.. :)

it means the positivty/negativity of your response and thread posts. If people like your post/find it useful they might + you. This will go towards getting a higher star number. The same goes for - for lower star numbers.
