My rating decreased from 97 to 96

Hmm..., Ok! First, the formal and serious part - Here are some points for your kind consideration: * You have been lately found guilty of makeing a lot of grammatical mistakes in your post(s). As for the two lines, that you have posted in this discussion, you have managed to make quite a few typos. Also, if you read what you have posted here, you will find, that you are also messing with sentence construction. Read your above posting carefully, and you will know, what I intend to say. * I have not read any guidelines, which points out that our inactivity on the site can result in the decrease in our ratings. * Your attitude, and mannerism does play a crutial role in deciding other user(s) to grant you a positive, or negative rating. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only factor, that can influnce those ratings. Now, the lighter side of life: * Blue is a nice color, but red is not that bad either! You hubby might have enjoyed those shy red looks on your face, when he first met you, and that might have played an important role in your marriage ( I hope you dont disappoint me on my nostalgic 'Shy Indian Woman' theory!) * Sky is blue, which is important for fantacy, but blood is red, which is important for life! 2-0! * Ratings goes up and down. Life goes on anyways ('Jeevan hai, chalta rehata hai') Hope that helps! Cheers!

I think you should still be glad, because you're star is still blue. While mine was a blue also just a few days back, but now it's already red. Imagine that for just a night you're shining blue would suddenly turn to red, I checked it befor I even log out (96/100). But the the next checked it, t'was already on the brink (95/100) and I said that I'll be expecting this to go down because I know someone who got envy about my discussions, and then ther it was -red already. Then I hink still not contented on what I got, that same person rated me negatives and now my rating's 93/100. I pity these envious people.

well sometimes it does happen but who knows ? it is only mylot, but even if you ask them they won't give you an answer

I can't believe you are complaining about dropping a single point!! I would love to be as high as 96 and i'm sure i'm not the only one who would love to be that high up the star ratings!! It is not that important in life is it? Mylot is only a website.

Now that you mention it, where can you check your exact rating? i've been trying to find the place to look it up but i haven't found it yet. Please someone let me know.

I don't think I would worry about it at all. In fact when I started at 100 points I somehow had a 2 (and I was never sure why because I always try to post good posts) and now it is up to an 8. I think everyone would love to have a 10 and the ratings change so often. Therefore I think you shouldn't worry about it too much. I'm giving you a big plus because I like your topic. Have a nice day. Pablo

I had been inactive for 3 weeks here at mylot and my rating then was an 82. I come back and see that my rating has been increased to 83. So I guess this means that inactivity does not play a part in your reputation rating. You get a positive response, your rating increases. You put out a negative one and it decreases. I think it's as simple as that.
