what does the star mean?

hi! first of all, welcome to mylot. :) the star is a rating for all mylot users who have reached and achieved at least 100 posts. you will soon have yours when you increase your participation in mylot. :) the star rating is your mylot reputation. it defines the quality of your posts (both the discussions you started and the responses you give to other discussions). it is a good practice for all mylot users to rate the responses they receive in the discussions they started. this is a way to show your appreciation to the responses of other mylot users. you may rate (+) positive when it's relevant and useful for you or (-) negative when it isn't. you may also choose the best response from amongst the responses you receive. but wait first for several responses before you choose the best. it would be beneficial for you to always provide quality responses yourself when you participate in discussons of other mylot users. this will help you in earning a higher star rating. but always be sincere in your responses. others will appreciate you more if you are sincere. and you probably will receive a best response too. best responses may increase your star rating or your mylot reputation and may indirectly increase your earnings in the long run. but i haven't read that you earn more if you have best response coz it was not really specified. but i know you earn more when you provide a quality response. so i think it generally follows. :) hope this helps.

I got a star at 100th post. I got 7, then 10 now.

the star only means,how active you are here on mylot an how mylot members rates you.no if you rate someone they dont earn more.they earn by giveing good discussion an responses.an once you get 100 point you will get a star!so post away an get that star! welcome to mylot
