I know how you get them..kind of. But how do you go from a 10 to a 9 all of the sudden? Is it a percentage game? The more responses, the less the star unless you continue to get rated with a +? And is 10 the highest? SOmeone please explain this to me, I really am giving myself a headache. I have a migraine already, so things aren't that clear to me right now. Thanks!!!

I'd suggest to not worry much about this star rating system . it fluctuates much . it can go down and go up . mine is already down with 8 (98 to 90 out of 100) . A scale of 1 to 10 is shown is stars . 10 is the highest . it is like a percentage and depends on our activity as well as the quality of our posts . This star rating system has been started just to put a competition among members to keep contributing to this site . pls see more details about this star rating at a discussion started by Mylot adminstarting staff here : http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/573319.aspx

They are your reputation, but actually it is not that important because it is still your connections that will work, anyway if you reach 500 posts, you can start to copy paste.
