I've got again a saddy 7 star :(

I think it can be that bad, sometimes. The most volatile threads are the most interesting IMHO, but they do tend to attract fanatics who simply *hate* having their firm beliefs challanged. No proof, but I think they dish out .[-]. like sweeties.

Ok, good reflection, I'll take it into account.

Thanks. It seems you have right with the earnings, since I got yesterday more than usual. I usually post some polemic topics, I think that way I can find different opinions and a more interesting discussion... Is it that bad?

I know it is not much important, but it doesn't feel to good, it is like bad publicity for someone who tries to know me...

Thak you very much. I'll work harder on that.

Whew! I was hoping you wouldn't mind my offering advice here. I don't want to sound like a know-it-all, but I did want to help. =)

Of course! On the contrary, I appreciated it very much, actually is the deeper answer I got, I know you really know about my posts and my discussions and, despite there can be malicious mylotters that rate wrong just for fun, if there is a way to improve it is great to know it, so thank you fery much for it.

Just try to reply to something ou know and you will not have any problems in writing more, if you do not have much knowledge on something, try not to reply it.

I didn't mean that... Well, now that I think a bit, I realize I usually have more knowledge than what I post, but I am a little bit lazy to write it all, I think like "until someone replies me as he/she is interested on my topic, I don't have to make that effort". So I was wrong, thank you very much for warning me!!! :)

Thank you vey much. I'll try to keep that six lines... But why yesterday I had an 8 star? I think I didn't do it worse yesterday than the previous days... Anyways, I think you're all right, I'll explain myself longer to get a better star ratting. But what to do when less words make things clearler? just fulfill the other lines with something obvious in the discussion?

MM thanks for your experienced answer, it makes me feel more relaxed.

Because it makes a bad image towards serious mylotters that could be searching for quality: perhaps if they find a lower star they can think I got it for a bad work, and go away. I don't mean this is a rule, but I know a little about publicity and at least it is a psicologyc effect of rejecting the new unknown person...

Yeah, your mathematic answer sounds indisputable. Thank you very much for marking me under right people althought I am stubborn sometimes!!! :) I think it would be helpful for many people that manual guide for getting interesting discussions, and if someone knows other techniques we can all implement it. I think people will care.

all right now I get it, in my modest opinion people who may care about that probably could consider an undesirable rank one below 5, because that kind of people, again in my modest opinion, tend to be very brain-driven as if they look at your star and care about if it is a good rating they will also try to know what exactly a good rating is and since logic disallows decisions without reasons, the only notable point in a linear scale is besides the extremes, the middle; so they'll take five as the line in which bad ratings end and good ratings start... yes, I'm making this up xDDDD but you can't deny it makes sense :) I don't even notice the star sometimes, and when I do I don't care at all about the number that shows there, I care about the things each person says, and that's my guide to finding good topics, just by finding the right people (like you :P) btw, I was thinking about writing something like a "guide" or better to say, my way of getting interesting topics here on the site, what you think? should I do it or nobody's gonna give a damn about it? :'(

Thanks for your answer. My yellow star is right back!! :)

You're right!! THis morning it is yellow again!! Thanks.

I used to have 8, now I have 8 again. Everyone has told me about writing more than 2 lines, so thanks you all, now I'm doing it better. Thanks for your answer!!

Thanks a lot!! I'll do so.

That's ok. Now I have again my pretty yellow tag, and I hope it will rise more as I'm doing better with longer posts.

don't worry.. it will soon rise again..

It has raised!!! Thanks for your support :).

Good luck to us, God Bless you too. I think I'll make what you all adviced to me, which is in short to explan myself further, never write less than 5 lines. I have also experienced that problem posting, I think it is due to mylot updating its system. Thanks for your response!

I think they are ok the way they are, I think I can judge myself what I did good or wrong, but the purpose of the star is others to know, isn't it? I hope it will rise again, and I'll be working harder, thanks a lot for the support.
