I recieved my star for 100 posts. I was hoping/thinking it might be a nine rating. What a tough croud. Guess I will have to be a bit more tactful and sweet. Anyone have any other suggestions to help my rating and or those ratings of others? Thanks in advance and happy mylotting. Oh and thank all the mylot users and friends for helping and making the time so enjoyable! Also thanks Mylot for the star! Sincerely
David

Hi,
Actually, more posts can help you to increase the possibility of getting more "+" rating from other mylotters.
So, more posts will help you increase your star rating indirectly.
The most important thing is to get more "+" ratings so that you can get higher star rating.

Thanks for the post. Am I understanding correctly more posts and a higher rating? The number of posts is which determines your rating?
I seem to be a bit confused? If I post more posts people are happy with then my rating will go up, correct? sincerely newby

how do you even rate people??? I wonder if I have any ratings?? I guess I don't see them untill I've hit my 100 post mark! It's slow going for me, but it's helping! Good luck in all your postings and ratings and such!

WHOOO is right must have been alot of work! Good thing you asked and found out before you had double the posts. Honestly not sure how much it matters though, I think its them rating you that determines your rating. Not entirely sure though, but as long as you didnt give anyone a minus I am sure everyone is happy. :)

If ratings are important to you there are very simple steps to improve them: always be tactful and avoid antagonizing anyone which means be as plastic and as nice as you can be and a heavy dose of compliments will bring over the ratings. Say something contradictory or divergent and risk the ire of those that wield the - rating. Me? I just say what I want to say and be as honest as I can. Others can praise me or think I'm stupid. It doesn't matter to me.

Well, I'd say 8 is pretty well. When I 1st got my 100th post, I think I had either a 5 or 6 as I wasn't really in the habit of rating. No worries. I later got to 10 & now dropped back to 9 as I have slowed down a bit & less active. It doesn't matter really, just enjoy yourself here!~ Happy muylotting!~

CongratulationsHi David don't be disappointed you didn't get a nine to begin with when I first got my star I was only a 3 then worked up to a 10 and went back down again to 7 after someone decided to target me by - every post. These things happen, I ignore the star number now and just concentrate on posting and responding, but you have still done really well. Ellie :D

Hola Ellie
I am having a hard time picturing you with a 3! I imagine someone targeting your post before you recieved your star. Wow I never before noticed how may post you have made thats an average of about 600 a month. You must have typing hands of lightening with as much description and hart you put into your posting to be able to post that many. Works and kids to take care of as well. Impressive!
Thanks its nice to know of the targeting aspect so that I dont get to concerned. You cant make everyone happy all the time, unless you want to be a phoney conformist and sacrafice your values and morales. Obivously you are true and down to earth! Thanks for the post and take care! David

I wouldn't really worry about your star. I have no idea what mine is at the moment, but there are some people who go around and only attack you star rating. Congratulations on making it to 100 posts, it gets a lot easier after that first 100. Enjoy Mylot!

Don't worry about it, i started with a 5 (although i thought just as you that i will start with a nine or at least an 8 but with given time you can progress upwards, so don't sweat about it, just keep doing it properly and you will get there. Try not to get involved into politics discussions or any other debate that makes you argue with other members for that matter - that's my tip.

My advice is to be respectful, even when you disagree, be friendly to those you dont know very well and always rate everyones discussions and responses that you read and respond too. If it helps, mine was only an eight when I got mine too!
Cheers, Tianna
