How do you increase your star points?

I think it all depends on the amount of ratings members are giving you for your discussions. that is what I think and that is what I have been told by other Mylot members. I think it goes up and down from members giving us a plus or a minus rating on our discussions. Mine fluctuates up and down all the time. It does it almost daily. I would say to just post some quality discussions so members will always give you a plus rating. that should help you get a higher number. I hope this helps you.
