I am real sad! My star has taken a drastic dive!

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your star drops in 9 points. First I didn't rate you negative, lol. The only reason I know when the star rating drop is you might upset some member and they rate you negative. I hope someone would explain it to you better. Thanks!

Well the only way that it can drop is when someone gave you a minus. I just do not understand why some people like to give minus to others just because they do not agree with the point brought up by another person or when they feel that the other person's English is not so good and based on some other petty stuffs... To me, I would only give a minus to someone who is outrightly rude and show no respect for others. Other than that, I would either give no rating but normally, i would just give a plus especially to those who took the time to write a respond to my post even though sometimes I could not really understand what the person wanted to say in the first place. I just want to appreciate the effort and hopefully motivates them to keep on posting. So, do not worry too much about your star and I hope that it would go back up real soon and I am going to give you a plus to help your star move up to where it was before or even higher. Cheers!

I know it concerns you so much about your star but I tell you not to worry about it since it gives more headache than what it suppose to have. I was there and been there. I was enjoying my blue star fro more than a week or so with 97 reps and over night it became a falling star, drop to 9 and the next day it's 8 with reps of 82. There are 2 possible ways why it happened but only one reason which is by rating you a negative in your discussion or your response. It happen when a member don't agree with your opinion which is a lame reason of giving a negative rating. The other one is someone is playing a game with you and all of those you don't have any control at all. That's the reason why I said that it's more of a headache than what it intends to have a purpose. Lastly, I have never given anyone a rating anymore.

Don't be sad I think it is very normal in here in mylot.. I had experienced same with you last week,I also lost my star.. Actually, I had earned blue star (rating 10) but since I'm too busy last week I didn't able to visit here and post discussion for a few days (2 days exactly) then when I log-in and post a discussion last Friday I was just shocked to see my star turn back to red star (rating 9).. Same with you I also feel bad about what happened but I realized that rating or stars are not that important to me at all since I joined mylot not because to have a good ratings or have a highest star (which is the blue star) but I want to earn money and to have a friends to share it with my ideas/opinions.. So, no matter what is the color or number with my star I don't care anymore, what is more important to me now is to earn, post and response good discussions and meet and have friends..

you loose your ratings only when someone gave minus for your comments. but usually i never see to my star ratings. it does not depends on your earning too. but the reason for your both deletion is, if you write mini posts for discussions. i dont have the habit of rating negative to anyone. but sometimes i give a positive rating, if i like anyone's comment!

dont you worry my friend,just enjoy mylotting and don't let this incident bother you much.The truth is we just cant please everyone, your point of view maybe good to you and maybe wrong to other people but whats important is you do your part.And come to think of it, it may not affect your earning. =)

I really am expecting to join you real soon,flowerhorn.The last time this happened to someone who went down from a 10 to a 9 I responded by saying something like "Dont worry this happened to me once, I dont think it really matters." (Not my exact words,but to that effect)Do you know that the very next thing I knew was that I had suddenly dropped from a beautiful blue 10 to a 9.Red is a lovely color,and I missed my blue 10 but I will say it again "Dont Worry" and I am not afraid myself to go down.!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!

i am so sorry to hear about what happen to your star... i think the only reason that your ratings can drop so much is because somebody gives you negative ratings in your posts or responses... but my advice is not to let your rating upset you so much... it is only a rating anyway and it won't affect your income at all... so you don't have to worry so much... just try to enjoy yourself here and have fun... take care and have a nice day...

What a shame and sorry to read that your points and star rating have dropped. I am not sure why it happens but probably because you have received some negatives from other members. It is silly that some people will give a person a negative rating because they do not agree with what is being said/written. I can think of a couple of reasons to give a negative rating to someone and that is if they use profanit or abuse someone else or even just give a couple of words as a response. Although I have never given anyone a negative myself, I can see those being the only reasons for anyone to do so. If a discussion is so bad that it deserves a negative, then maybe it is better off being reported and let myLot decide whether it is acceptable or not. The one good think though is that your star rating can also increase again and that is bound to happen in time as you start more discussions and make more responses to others. Good luck with your star and points ratings.

hmm, it sometimes happens. mine has fallen from 190 to 6 few months back. i never got that back. it was due to some trolls who rated me negative

Hey I also will feel very sad.... my rating also droped for 71 yesterday to 67 today... I have never given anyone minus... and dont understand why other people give in the first place... cheers

I think that I know why, there are people in the political discussions that will rate you negatively depending upon your postions. It does not matter if your arguements are sound, they are rating purely on political party. That seems unfair, but it has happened to me also.

That's a really big big numbers taken from your points here. Maybe someone gives you a bad rating which is the reason why you dropped your stars into 8(84). Coz some people here when they don't like your discussions or comments they give your eally really negative rates. So next time you should be careful. Cheers.

hey could you please describe me about the stars , how is it work and hw many type of is it and .....

Hi there Flowerhorn! I'm sorry to hear that. It is controlled by other mylotters. It just means that you got some negative ratings while you were away, maybe from some of your old posts.

Oh boy I know how you feel. My star went from a 10 to a 8 in one 24 hour period. I couldn't believe it either. I didn't do anything wrong to have it drop like that so I don't know why it did. I never broke any rules or responded to something that got deleted. So I can only' guess that someone didn't like me and went around and rated me with negatives. Now that 6 months have passed I am still at an 8 star even though I post a lot and post long responses. It just doens't want to change for me. I am not going to worry about it anymore though because it doesn't mean anything when it comes to our earnings. Alrighty then, talk to you later, your friend Chris.

Join the club...obviously someone had too much time on their hands and many people were rated down.

I rarely rate discussions but I gave you a plus just to cheer you up. When I got my first star it was a four. I guess someone did not like my posts. I too do not see the point of rating negatively unless the poster is too rude or irrelevant. I think if you rate you should be at least nice about it. Just rating someone with a negative because they happen to disagree with you is petty and unfriendly.

i sorry to hear that
