Mylot Interest Rankings. What do you think of this feature?

Oops! I just didn't see that it IS a feature on our profile page.

is that what it supposed to do? because above your avatar you can see the explanation that this ranking is to show how well we are perceived, kind of what the star is for

It's kind of fun to see where everyone levels but since we still have the star it seems useless

that's true. my average earnings when I was 10 and when I was 6 didn't change, so star rating doesn't affect earnings. but if someone wants to abuse this new system, can they do that by - again - marking negative?

that's odd. you never see them in that interest and all of the sudden they're on top? I mean I rarely post on mylot.com but I did now and then, so at least people saw me a couple of times

I only respond to interesting discussions. even if you are my friend but I'm not interested with your discussions I won't reply. I've had star 10 for over 5 months and now it's down to 9, it doesn't bother me since my earnings average stay the same

I know. I think it's interesting but then we still have the star, which also shows how well we are perceived in mylot as a whole. so this interest ranking is kind of dividing this total popularity count into smaller segments, but who wants to know that?

the star is already problems for some people, especially when theirs are down because they thought somebody deliberately mark them negative. It's kind of fun to know how everybody levels at their interests in a way, but I hope nobody will take it too seriously if their rank is down.

that's why I'm hoping nobody will get all upset when their rank is down. I don't know if this can happen, but we'll see

"Interest Rankings are a way to measure how well myLot users are perceived by the community within a particular interest" I don't think has anything to do with whether I will get responses from my friends or not. They can always do that by going to Discussions My friends Started and find my discussions there. I seldom posted in Making money and yet my rank there is quite high so this number doesn't have anything to do with activity but more of how others perceive me in that interest category, at least that's what it says

thanks for responding anyway Ambie

if you look at it that way, it makes sense but it is about how well myLot users are perceived by the community within a particular interest not about what we are interested in

What are interest rankings? Interest Rankings are a way to measure how well myLot users are perceived by the community within a particular interest. you can find this description above your avatar

I can just ignore it until I get used to it.

another good point. I mean we will see this everyday and some people may not feel that it is fair if others have higher rank and then start spying on their discussions

it says up there that this ranking is based on how others perceive us within the same interest. but you're right I don't know if lower number is better or the other way around and does it affect earnings, because I know my star could go up and down yet my earnings stay.

you could be right. I don't know yet how this new feature can be abused but I feel that this is still a possibility
