Within a few weeks after I joined Mylot, Mylot introduced the STAR RATING system. From then, till now I have searched all the 10 stars out of curiosity to check whether someone has 100/100 in their 10 star ratings.
It was now, just a few mintues back, I got to know one such person with 100/100 ratings. I take the priviledge to introduce her to you. Its " Sherry12 " ... one such person to have got 100 rating.
I congratulate her for this excellent achievement.
Hey people, I am not lying, check it out yourself. Here's the link:http://www.mylot.com/Sherry12

Hello,gpraveenkumar5 ,since i have joined mylot for 4 months,i have seen four or five members having a star rating of 100,not only their discussions and replies are of good qualities,all the members would have rated them positively,may be they have never got any negative rating,that is what they stay at rating 100 from time to time.

I still do not understand how this star thingy works. I got a star next to my name with the number 8 on it. What are the benefits, if any, of the star system? And many posts promise to give you a = rating if you reply. How does that work? Can yourself or someone explain?

It denotes the quality of your posts. People on mylot rate your responses and comments. You also have to rate other to improve your ratings. It can have benefits like more and more people like to add you as a friend. But I dont know who it works. Wahtever I have said is the basic of the system .
Thanking you !!!

I used to worry so much about my star rating , Until one time someone was going about giving a lot of us 10 stars minus ratings , I got upset and my friends rallied round and by the next day I was back up to 10 , I red though that this has nothing to do with My Lot and only the My Lotte-rs can + or _ your stars , I don't let it get me don now ( to tell the truth it hasn't happened again except for a glitch wit my lot) and I have so many lovely friends here whom I know wouldn't give me minus ratings , i have never had a cross word with anyone on the site so if I do go down I know it is someone who doesn't know me , Enjoy the site as it is good fun and full of such lovely people xx

Ratings is decide by quality of your responses to discussions and other activites in mylot. You already have a good rating. There is no short term achievement , you sincere everyday work counts to your ratings. The better ratings you have , the more people will get attracted to you : thats the benefit.
Anway thanking you !!!

Well, your first step is to get your star, which occurs as soon as you have taken part in hundred different discussions. It sounds like a lot but it is really that many. At that point, you can see how you have been being rated. From there, you use it to figure out how to improve. For instance, I started out with a five, and my biggest jump in ratings came one day when I started some discussions that I am very passionate about (gardening). Aim for value and not massive numbers of posts seems to be the rule behind getting a good star rating.

I didn't even know what the stars were for until after I read this discussion! Thanks. It's good to know that some people actually take time and put some thought into what they are going to say.

Well done Sherry12 and others.
It doesn't make any practical difference what your star rating is here at myLot. It makes no difference to your earnings and no difference to your discussion or posts.
However, a perfect 10 does indicate to me that they are never contentious and agree with whatever anyone says.
Now that's not much fun. haha

How do we know our own star rating. Where do we look for it. I have a rating of 9, but I don't know my star rating. Please help.

Congratulations to all the 100/100 myLotters, and kudos to you for all the work it took to find these cool folks!
If you want to express your opinions freely here, expect to have your star go down sometimes. We are supposed to rate a person's comment by a simple standard: did it contribute to the topic being discussed? It shouldn't have anything to do with whether you agree with what was written, but many people give negatives to posts they disagree with. There have also been situations where one myLotter would feel offended by another, and the offended party would go to every discussion the other person wrote or responded to, and rate every single entry a negative. In one extreme case, the offended person even got some of their friends to help them!
So, you can't take the stars too seriously. They don't affect our pay, so the only thing you should wonder if your rating goes down is, hmmm... who did I piss off today?

So this may be a stupid question...
But where do you find this numeric rating? I thought I needed 500 posts to see but I still can't. And I know we have a number rating in our stars from 1-10, but I can't find the 1-100 rating...where is it? I'd like to know mine!
Thanks, and I'm sorry for the ignorance!
