Questions about mylot stars rankings

Yes, something similar has happened to me before. I had my rating drop by a lot all at once, and then it came back up just a little bit, then it has been stuck there ever since. I'm not really sure why it's so easy for the ratings to drop so quickly and then it seems almost impossible for them to come back up again. Lately I have just gotten so that I don't even really worry about the star rating anymore. I have also heard of people trying to lower the rating just to be mean, so I figure the rating is really worthless anyway if it isn't being used for the right reasons.

jhl930 check your friends list and see if you have anyone who has only one or two posts then if so delete this person. I just did that and my star rating went up one point immediately. some person with just one or two points is evidently our troll or trolls and seems to be working from within.I hated to delete anyone but these trolls should be stopped at once.

Hello jhl. I have the same case. My mylot reputation used to 99/100 and later dropped to 98/100 and now it is 97/100. I have not exact idea about this. I had 99/100 for a very long time and I was trying and still am trying to reach 100/100 mylot reputation some day with luck and my hard and decent work.

I've had it happen...three times. Either you get trolls that just hate you, or trolls via friends list, or members who are using the rating system wrong, or the system is being manipulated elsewhere. If the star system wasn't broken I'd be a 10 easily. Doubt it? My profile is right there... you or anyone else can check best responses and discussions. As a bonus here is a response to another discussion about this problem (#15) http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1482617.aspx?p=2

Ive been stuck on 8. Not sure how to make it go up. I guess it will happen in its own time or it wont. At least I know I tried

I have had my star go up and down so often I don't pay attention to it anymore. I was inactive for 3 months and when I came back to mylot I saw my star go from a 99/100 to a 80/100. I have now been active just about the whole month of June and it has only gone up 1 point to a 81. I am not going to pay attention to it anymore since it doesn't really mean anything anyways, according to Crash we don't get more money or anything when we have a high rating.

Yes, it has happened to me as well. i have lost huge reputation and tghus star. not all the interests rankings are very very down. there are few of the trolls here who are doing this to some. they are so mean and happy doing harm to others.

Hi there jhl930!Thankfully, that hasn't happen to me yet. I think that the rating feature is really likely to be abused by some. I wish mylot can give the ratings instead.

i think i am the only one who experience this. once my ranking is 9 and the colour is red. then one day i checked it's 8 and the colour is yellow. days afterward it was back 9 and red colour too. Do you know what colours mean in mylot star ranking?

It happened to me too and a lot of people here in myLot. I have been a consistent 100 for several weeks and then when these things have happened, my stars went to a low 66% only. I felt bad of course but I had to deal with it well with composure. I tried not to look at it and pay attention to it as it does not really show who I am and how I am in this site but I just continue to post good ones as well as make quality responses. I am just surprised to see my star today has gone up to 89% and I'm happy now. As long as I have many friends here and continue to make a difference, I know what kind of person I am and would not be affected as such as its objective. Continue to enjoy, post and respond here in myLOt. « Gab »

I am still not sure how this star ranking works. I thought if you post frequently and your post is in good quality, your ranking will raise. But that seems to be not the case after reading your post. If make me feel even more confused, I am not sure whether this star ranking thing is usefult then~ However, it seems that I have to be aware of some mean ones.

my advice to you is that you should continue to ignore the stars because they don't affect your earnings after all. people are giving you a - that makes your star go down, or maybe you're also a victim of a troll that they're talking about. i also happened on me, my star went down to 89 and good thing that my star went up a bit

ya....this is true.... people often do this kind of stuff to get ur stars down
