If I had a 93/100 and a red star and came back to find I had a 76/100 and a yellow star- what happened? I wasn't here, is that the penalty to absence or did I offend that many people or what? I know others have had this occur- so what have you learned when it happened to you?

Welcome to the yellow club, arcadian. This is the sixth threads that I responded about this star issue. No, you have no enemies here and your absence is not the cause of it all. Just look at my star, isn't it nice that we all have yellow stars. Mine is a lovely blue star with a rating of 98/100. I'm not upset with all this bizarre things going on now. Lets wait and see what mylot will do about this ongoing pandemonium.

LOL, everyone...it seems we're back to our original stars and hope it keep going up instead of down the hill. Arcadian sweetie, I can understand your situation. Do whatever you like. You want to have a a tarot reading, go ahead. We certainly deserve to have a little fun on the side. Forget about those stress and pressures.

Purple? there's a purple? I never had no purple. Or white. Hmmph.I suspect we have Felinity to thank for the alert to Mylot. But kvetching was fun too. God it is so good to talk and kid around with you guys. Now I gotta go. Tryin to be a citizen here, and I sweqar I am so fed up with the "real" world. There's an opening at a place on the boardwalk for tarot readers and fortune tellers, and I am THIS close to signing on for that. Embarrassing my family once again, but able to live with my -uh- self - again. And hang with folks who have stars to worry about.

from what I have been told the star is from how people rate your posts so if you haven't been posting no one can rate you there for your star will change

Cool, mine's fixed too. Not higher but close enough for no complaints from me- Yay for both of us. What a relief.

I also have the same question. I didn't post at all and my star dropped. Well, I guess we need to post good answers to earn more stars.

It been about two weeks or ten days- we're not talking months here. thanks for answering. It seems radical that it takes so long to build up and so short a time to fall back. Like a glass mountain in the rain.

Like I said- weird. Here's the thing, if you leave a place like this you didn't belong here. But if you belong here, you gotta wonder, know what I mean?

Hi Arcadian. There has been a glitch and lots of people have lost there star rating. I don't know if myLot will fix it, but I was on a blue star yesterday and made a lot of posts, but today its yellow. I think that it has happened to everyone. I haven't heard of anyone who hasn't been affected.

All right! That feels better, I mean it's terrible, but less personal. I always say a shared catastrophe builds friendships while a solitary disaster is alienating. I felt like leaving for good when I first saw the drop, but this feels better. Thanks a million. So what can we do about it?

Well I guess we can send a message to myLot. I think some people have done this, but I haven't yet. I probably will later. Hopefully they will correct the error, or otherwise we will have to help each other by giving a positive rating. I think that will work? I hope they don't do this again.

Well, it looks like it was a glitch. Because everyone's star seems to be fine now. I am glad I missed it because I would have been totally upset and wanting to quit too!
