Rating - What does that mean?

The number next to your name is the number posts you have posted, from what I understand the rating systems can cause this number to go up or down. Keep in mind that if you respond to a discussion your rating changes but if you post an answer and someone responds to you and you respond again under the same posting your points don't change (does that make sense?)

No idea, but my rating is the same as repsonses + discussion started. (44 + 2)

It's a big mystery but I find so far with no referals doing anything I make about 1.5 cents per point. Referrals seem to be a good key, I just can't get mine to do this.

i am in the dark about it.

i indicates no of posts you done including your discussion and responded discussions this is what i understood about star rating from mylot guidelines. users with a user rating of less than 100 will not yet have myLot reputation myLot reputation is determined by the myLot community,not user It doesn’t mean that 8 stars means “good user” and 5 stars means “bad user” only indicate how active user are increase your reputation is by contributing quality topics, responses and comments and avoid breaking mylot rules!
