Why Some Mylot Users Have High Star Ratings

The rating system is mainly for how well the post is done not that the person posted but because it's so openly done you can use the rating system however you want. I rate by how well a question is answered or if they post a topic that is worth my time basically, I may seem like a bad person, but hey I'm still working for the money I get on here, other people should too, if I get a very short post that doesn't answer my question, I'll rate down, if I get something vague when I asked for a little detail I won't rate them. I think that's how it should be because then others know how well those people post. But I guarentee that people are really nice and rate anyone up :)

I try to respond to everybody who responds to my Discussions. :) But sometimes they get lost and I can't find them again! If I respond to an interesting Discussion, I try to go back there every so often to see if anybody has responded to my response. *LOL* :) It can be nice to have a nice back-and-forth exchange on one Discussion for a while, instead of constantly trying to find new Discussion to respond to, to the point that you lose track of everything that you have commented on in the past day. *LOL* It can be nice to just stay inside of one Discussion going back and forth for a while. :) I also feel good when I get responses to my discussions, and comments on my responses! :) I also rate highly when people are nice to me. :) I agree that it is human courtesy. :) I like the way that you think. :)

Well Yes and No! perhaps you are little naivete about the star system. have you noticed, it takes a couple of months to get a 10, and then seemingly without reason you bounce back to a 7. This happened to me and I am almost certain it was because I tell it as I see it. The people who have maintained their 10 star, are those who never, never, ruffle a feather. Do you think this is good for myLot? I don't, and thats why I am so proud of my 7 star. I wouldn't trade my reputation as an honest myLoter for all the Stars in the Universe!

Well i think we get high stars based on what we post and how others rate us on mylot. After you pass your 100post then you will be given a star also. The number on your star says alot about a you. I'm glad that you think we myloters are nice. Keep posting songbird and best of luck.

hehehe, I think you are correct!!!Welcome to mylot. You have come to the right place to spend your free time. enjoy your days at mylot and be nice to others an you will get high ratings too like others did. Good luck.

hello friend, i think the high star rating just depends on how many people leave you the positive feedback or how many positive feedbacks you leave for the others.there are several star reputation level on mylot.and different star color decide different levels.And now, you are just 10 star on mylot, i think you will get a colorful star when you reach the 100 points in the future posting.just keep moving and leave more positive feedbacks to others. i think you will get a high star rating too.lol good luck

It is the quality of the responses and the positive markings and the Best responses they get the fellow mylotters that are responsible for the star ratings. And it is the knack of being non controversial that sustains the ratings forever.

Yes there are lot of nice people on my lot. You will find the few who are not as in every where in the world. I hope that you enjoy mylot. Take care of yourself.

I have been here for quite some time now songbird and as far as I am concerned, a positive rating will be given by me for every single response I get where an effort has been made. They don't have to agree with me, or say something nice to me just to get my plus rating as it all comes down to them making the effort and me rewarding them for it in return! I can only recall two occasions that I ever rated someone negatively and one was because they left a referral link as an answer; and the second one was because they were completely off-topic and offensive with only a couple of words as a response! Many people that have 10 stars are not necessarily "nice" all the time at all and again, it all comes down to the fact that they DO make an effort as you have seen yourself! It does seem so far that you have taken to mylot like a duck to water so I hope your enthusiasm continues! There are great people here and you will make some wonderful friends. Just always be yourself, make the effort and have fun!

The star rating is called reputation. it depends on how the users are rated by other mylotters here. it is calculated in sacle of 100 and star depends on that rating. you will get one when you reach 100 post.

I think those users post quality discussions on mylot.They are very friendly to other people and help them with their doubts.I rate discussions if i find the response is good and answered correctly.I have never rated anyone negative.

I often forget to rate the responses and I think that its wonderful that you are so conscientious of rating system. It's people like you that make the system reliable. Many people just use the rating system as a way to boost up their friends, and some even use it to hurt people who have differing opinions. I'm really glad you have had a nice welcoming from the mylot community. I've had that same experience. Those nice comments turn into a type of friendship eventually, so keep coming and posting, you wont regret it. Welcome to mylot!
