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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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