Star rating/ All tenners went down to eight? A glitch?

I can´t help wondering what´s going on. I´ve noticed that almost everybody´s star rating seems to have dropped. The tenners went down to eight. Niners down to seven. A global glitch? Or am I seeing things? When I logged of last night (european time) everything was as usual. Please let me know if I´m having hallucinations. Thanks in advance.

Actually it would seem that the norm is 2 point reduction for all mylotters, but I am basing that purely on the number of people saying that number. I think that people have been kicked off the site which means any and all ratings they have given have now been declared void.

Do you really think that this is the reason? It makes sense, but why would the site want to declare previous ratings from members who are no longer here void? What benefit would they get from doing so?

It´s going downwards. I´m currently at five like many others.

Dana I hadn't even noticed this until I read you post and had to go investigate! I am like you - I logged out in the early hours of this morning and was still a 10 star and as I read your post and went to look at what was happening I discovered that I had indeed dropped to an 8 star, not only that but my rep has never been below 97 (and that was only once but I am now on 83! I might have upset some people but surely not enough to explain a drop like this! This must be a mylot glitch because not everyone could possibly have dropped 2 stars in the matter of hours! So no my sweet dana I don't think you are having hallucinations - not unless I am sharing the same one! xxx

I´m sure it´s a glitch or a new rating system. I´ve actually not seen any ten stars around here anymore, then again I´ve only got two eyes.

lol - I've had a good look too and I can only find an 8 sar at the most - even on people who have also always been 10 stars!

I do not know about anyone else, I did not even notice, as I just got on, but you are right, I am sitting at eight, and I have always been a ten. It will be interesting to see what transpires. Someone mentioned a rogue moderator the other day. I have only been off line about seven hours. It could be a glitch, as I have seen other major ones. I am not going to run screaming away, especially as you are saying it seems to be totally global. Actually, I will next go to my friend's list, as one of my friends has consistently been 100% and see how she is doing. Thanks for the interesting insight.

It´s a good idea to check your friend with the consistent rating to see if it happened to her as well. :-).

There are tons of discussions about this today. Even my perfect friend. I think it will be interesting to see what happens next.

Check out the discussion by Lordwarwizard, that might give you a hint as to why everyody's rating went down. Its probably a glitch.

No, you are not having hallucinations. Just a few minutes ago , I was still a tenner,now I'm down to a eight. Well,if it does not make any difference to my earnings, I'm not going to let it affect me.

I´m not affected by it either, but it did surprise me to see that many members rating dropped. Never seen anything like it since I´ve joint.

I went from a 9 down to an 8. Oh well....I am glad you picked up the glitch, otherwise I would have thought it was just me.

You seem to be the odd one out, if I´m not wrong. You went down 1 star, most people seem to have gone down 2.

When I logged off yesterday my star rating was intact. This morning when I opened Mylot it was down a point. Not that I worry too much about my rating but I only answered two questions yesterday. So did everybody rate me negatively or is there a glitch in Mylot. I don't know.

I´m convinced that it´s a glitch, because it simply happened to too many members at the same time.

I have dropped also. I was a 10 and now a low 8. I wouldn't know why. Oh well, that is how it goes.

It´s strange though. Everything was fine last night. I can´t imagine that so many people got negative ratings.
