I have gone from a blue 10 star to red 9 star :((

lol..I'm a teacher too...and I don't encourage my kids to work for the stars...and similarly, I'm not bothered with them myself. I hardly look at my start till I see a discussion on the star. I don't think the star system was running when I first joined myLot (more than a year back)....and I wasn't on for another 9 months soon after I joined. It's only 6 months back that I started in full swing...and it took a little more than a month for me to get the blue star.

You have all been talking red and blue stars, but I have been getting red, then brown, then green and now violet. Have you ever got this many colours as stars and I can't understand the line up also. Which is down at the bottom and which is on the top.. Anyone care to tell me?

If you've only been on MyLot for 4 weeks, I'd say that you're doing pretty well. I don't take much notice of the star rating of anyone though.

Hi Kiran it was really nice that in one month u get blue star, it shows u r being liked my ur friends and ur resoponses/discussions are good and dont worry, i am sure u will get it soon i will rate u lot of PLUS and as far i am concern, i am not intrested in rating and star color and not even in earningh i like friends like u Take care

My star is like being on a roller-coaster ride - one day it's red then blue then back again lol. I'm not really bothered about my star at all. In fact when it got to blue I thought it must be some sort of mistake and sure enough it went back to red again but who cares!

I'm not much aware of the grading system in mylot. I see the stars near the user name but i just skip my attention from that. Does those colors mean much here. Does that add any credits to our participation in discussions. Can you share about it.?

Has anyone actually seen proof of what the color of the stars mean? I mean, we all can guess and speculate. All I care about is that I have good friends and my discussion responses mean something to somebody. I love MyLot and hope it stays around for a long time. :-)

When I first got my start I started with a yellow 8, the next day I had a red 9 and that's what it's been ever since. I've seen others post about their stars randomly going down then back up though so i wouldn't let it bother you. It will probably go back up before you know it.

It is sad to see your star going down, I don't know the reason. It is always nice to reach the top of all that you do. I have not been very active on mylot recently but I see that my star rating is still maintained.

Pfft. I've NEVER had a 9 or 10 on mylot. The minute I hit 100 responses I had an 8 star. 24 hours later I was a 5 star. 24 hours after that a 4 star. I got back up to 8 somehow near 1000 responses but soon enough I was sent to 6, then 5, then 4 all in the course of a weekend. Now I'm a 6 once again and for some odd reason not higher. Read the FAQs for mylot. Note how it says the star rating denotes QUALITY responses and discussions. Now then, go to my discussions, responses and best responses. Note the BRs especially, theres quality AND quantity. If that doesn't say quality member, then what does? -_- I keep saying the star rating is broken, and even with the recent "question" event, I still say it. *I'M* the proof the star rating is broken, plus a couple other members. Oh and people who did post quality but had 1, 2, 3 and 4 stars, a good number of them have quit responding or quit using the site entirely. So lets review. Yours truly has had the lower star ratings for the following. - Having an opinion and expressing it without fear - Continuing to express opinions - Helping other members with their problems - Having fun times with other members on here - Giving advice Isn't that lovely (/sarcasm) -_-

hi kiran i feel the same as you about the stars,like you i must be a big kid at heart! it surprised me when i got my star 9 and that wasnt long after being on here-so can imagine that you were a bit dis-heartened going from 10 to 9,hopefully it will go back to 10 soon-your friend littleowl

i don't know why they really change the points in stars..i also don't how they mark us points..is it the length of the comment or the genuineness or what else?? can any tell me if u really know what it is all about?
