It won't be long now and my star rating will go down to a red 9... for the past few days... there has been an outcry about star ratings and posts going down... and no one is safe from this... my rating is also going down... the rating that i have been trying to maintain for months... well whoever or whatever is behind this... i just hope that this will eventually stop... so that we can go our mylotting days freely and without fear of being victimized...

Hello there aseretdd, I have this star rating problem as well and it is well bugging a lot of people and I know that they are definitely worried about when the matter would be resolved. Don't worry your rating is still a bit high and I'm sure that no one would rate you - anytime ever.
As for me, my ratings started to go down when I commented and supported our members whom have suffered from the star ratings going down.
Good discussion here and have a nice day there, my friend.

Tell me about it, ha! My rating has been going 92 up to 93 and then back to 92 and then up again. But that's just about it. I wonder when this saga would end.
But all is well as long as there are amazing friends here like you and the others. Take care.

I still think that the best thing to do is to ignore it, if it is people that are responsible for this then they will get off on the fact that they are upsetting everyone. If they are ignored then they have nothing to get off on. Mine went down overnight from a 10 to a 7, I was not bothered by that, the star is nothing to me, I have a lovely group of friends who know that I have not done anything wrong and so know that I did not deserve it and it makes no difference to how they see me, so I am not bothered.

The ratings go up and down like a yoyo here, these days I can't see any point in worrying about them now. Sooner or later things will settle down again but until then, just keep doing what you are doing and don't worry about the colour of your star :-)

I think everyone who is active here in mylot is affected... there are those who are getting banned and their discussions are getting deleted... and that is why our post is going down... but if those members are banned because they did something wrong... that that is all for the best here... thanks for the response...

Too bad the mods or owners of mylot can't do something about this problem. I can't see putting a neg on someone. I hate that minus button and avoid it like the plaque! lol
There has to be a way they can catch the people doing this. This is so childish. You have to be 18 to become a member, but you should be mature enough to be here as well.
Good Luck in keeping your pretty 10 (97/100) I miss mine

I think they already know who is behind this... but of course they will not reveal that to the whole mylot population... and i also think they are doing something... i guess when someone gets banned from this site... that is one way of solving the problem for them... thanks for the response...

I am a 10 myself also but one point away from becoming a 9. I don't worry about it to much though. I figure let whoever is doing this get it out of their system. Hopefully mylot will catch up with them. I am more worried about making money and also having friends.

I agree... the most important thing here is learning... making friends... and earning a little cash... but in my case... i worked so hard in getting that rating... even if it doesn't affect our earnings... i still love to maintain my blue star... thanks for the response...

I do hope that your blue star won't turn red aseretdd. It happened to me and I know how it feels to lose something you've really worked hard for. It seems that things are getting out of hand. I do hope that something be done about this. I am sure there has got to be a good explanation to whatever is happening to most of us here at myLot.

I remeber you had a blue star before... i guess... some unhappy member is trying to prove that there is a flaw in the mylot rating system... and like you... i hope the mylot admin will explain why or do something about it... thanks for the response...

Hello aseretdd,
I am sorry to hear that. I experienced that before, a few weeks after getting my blue star. My star rating went down and since I was new here, I wasn't sure why and how this could happened to me. Lucky that it was just temporarily.

Well... it is like a see saw game her in mylot... i managed to retain my star rating to 10 for a long time now... and to see it go down will be a bummer... but now that i think of it... if that finally happens... i will just take it as a challenge... as to when i can get my 10 back again... thanks for the response...

There are always some troublemaker mylotters around who just give bad ratings for no reasons.
I have encountered this all the time, and noted my ratings to have gone down quite drastically before and currently, its stable but for how long?
Nevertheless, the ratings don't mean a thing in mylot, so even if we all have zero for ratings, we still earn the same as those who have 10

Yes, for others the rating doesn't mean a thing since it doesn't affect our earning... but in my case... it is a form of personal achievement... and seeing the 10 blue star is like seeing a high grade... and those people creating mischief by pulling down the ratings are having such a grand time... thanks for the response...
