Do your really take star rating seriously?

I don't make my responses based on trying to get a higher star rating or worrying about it going down. But I admit that I get encouraged when it does go up. The thing with the stars is that one bitter, angry person could decide they wanted someone's star rating to go down and it would only take about 30 minutes of their time to make it happen. I wont let myself get discouraged when it goes down.

Yes. definitely. Who will not take a bright star shining over you head seriously?

The star rating does not bother me. As I do not pay attention to what color or number is on it. Maybe I should. But with so many members who select a negative because they don't agree with what you posted. I am not going to pay any attention to it. I know I have a different opinion on many subjects with the diversity group we have on my lot. I also have several people on my friends list that I sahre different opinions from. But I never give them a negative to make their star go down. To me that is plain childish. I say what goes around will one day come around.

i care and i don't care. i don't respond trying to get a high star rating. but its nice. i don't know if its true, but when they first came out i heard the higher the star raiting, the high you will be paid per post...like i said. its not something i've comfirmed yet. i haven't been on mylot in a while so i don't know whats been going on.

I get motivated upon getting the best response. I am not worried about the star rating, as it directly dependant on members, and their rating will not affect my earnings or reputation.

Hello.ellie,I will try to keep a good rating but i will not put too much concern about it,i understand that the rating will be flutucated everyday as it depends on how other users rate me. I think it may be better to remove the star and rating feature as sometimes it may be misleading,for me ,i will not care about other members's rating,sometimes,low rating members do not get much replies becasue people do not want to reply to ones with low rating,but they may have low rating because they have been inactive for long time but they get good quality replies.

I don't really bother about my star ratings in mylot, if you were posting quite decent and useful informative posts here in mylot, you will automatically earn your star from the fellow users in mylot, so concentrate hard on what you dicuss rather than worrying about stars and ratings.

I like my blue star! I worked to earn that good rating. I try to give good responses and start good discussions. I think the star rating is an incentive to do good posts and responses. I find it encouraging when I see my rating increase!

im quite atuned to my star rating whwen it goes up i certainly post more when it sticks or goes down my motivation drifts away. On balence i think it is a good thing but i do think people should have to justify any minus rating to mylot blessed be

No Ive come to learn thats not that important to me. And mylot just does that so we will try harder on here to make our star go up. But come on we all know that its just a silly star with a color and number on it. I hope soon they will get rid of them.

Sure it's nice to have a high rating as it shows you that others in MyLot land value your opinions and discussions. However, I think far too many people make a big thing out it really.

Nah mine has gone from 10 to a 9 to back to a 10 back to a 9 so many times I dont even know. I don't care though, whatever it is, it is. It's not like I can do anything about it anyways! I dont feel encouraged or discouraged if it goes up or down.

Not really, because I suspect that if people are deliberately being negative they would bring it down anyway. I try to help others get a high star rating, but I am not really concerned about it myself all that much. It's nice, but it is not important. I think myLot would be better without it really.

My star rating don't matter to me in the least, especially since most of the time i forget its even there :/ But I think it's a positive impact to the site seeing as though most people take stuff like that seriously :/

No stars rating cannot be a seriuos rating because it counts only the daily activity and not the discussions quality! I think it is simply a nonsense!

Hi ELLIE, previously i used to be very much serious with star ratings. to start with i was at 9, worked on it and reached to 10 at one point and then again demoted 9. the 10 gave me an instant boost and the subsequent fall from 97 to 89, in a single day, was really demotivating. when i asked mylot, i got a reply that the negative rating is the culprit!! as of now, i am less bothered about the star ratings. i mean, i cannot be demotivated and down for the whims of some users!! how the my quality of input here could be judged by the users here!! so, nowadays, i am not that much concerned with it, however, i would like see the blue star against mine. its certainly a feel good factor. good luck!!

To tell the truth I don't care much about my star rating. At this moment it is 90/100 and I'm happy because this means that myLotters esteem me and the messages I send to them and to the forum. I sometimes happen to notice that my star rating goes down, but there are no problems, this doesn't discourage me. And yet I think that the star rating tends to encourage or discourage myLotters.

in a way the star rating gives you the idea how active you are in mylot. it also motivates you to participate more and share your thoughts with others. what matters most here is not really the star rating we get but the friendship we gained and the knowledge we shared. the earnings we accumulate are but bonuses.

hello there. hmm, honestly, yeah, i kinda take my star rating seriously because it is like a symbol of my performance here in mylot. :) i really do my best to keep it in the 10 star rating. :) lolz. :)

Since i'm only around half way to getting a star over my head I wouldn't know that special sugar poo poo happy mega fun time feeling that is having a star.. boo hoo woe is me.. people can't judge me yet. :) As far as how i'll feel about having a star? I have no idea. Can't wait to find out.
