Does it mean you don't like me ??

My star went down from 10 to 8 messageme...hope that makes you feel a bit better. lol. I guess it can't be avoided, we've come from different places here and we definitely perceive things in a different way. Maybe for you, it isn't offensive..but for someone else...it might be. Yeah, I kinda like that idea! Of you know, reasoning out first before you give a negative rate. That'll be good...so that we would be aware what we did that others didn't like. Cheer up messageme! I'm sure there are a lot of other myLotters here who likes you.

It doesn't mean anything. I don't pay much attention to the star anymore. i did at first. But since I've been here awhile, and seen so many of the best writers with small numbered stars, I stopped looking at it. Someone may have rated you low for an answer, or some other reason. I wouldn't consider it as someone not liking you. I know mine goes up and down constantly. Sometimes I don't write much for an answer, and I'm sure that gets me rated negatively. Just keep writing, and doing your best, and don't pay attention to the star. Just write and enjoy the writing.

Oh! Dear! Please do not feel so perturbed or disappointed by change in your star rating. It happens with many of us and it has happened with me twice, when my blue star turned red i.e. I went from 10 to 9. You need not scratch your head for change in status of your star and your reputation, it may be due to many factors, not alone due to any negative rating(s) by any member. Sometimes, some of the older posts or objectionable posts get deleted, to which you would have responded, in that case, your ratings get effected. Please do not worry, if you continue in the same fashion and work with full honesty and dedication in your posts, you will regain your position. And the most important I must share with you that our ratings has no connection with our earnings, your earnings will remain intact, irrespective of your star rating. So please cheer up and smile. All the best. Deepak

Yeah, I don't know why that happens, I think there are some on here that might be jealous, and they just want to see something happen to you, especially if your a nice person and never get in trouble with anyone. I think they should tell you why your rating went down also..Have a good day

I think it just means that some people enjoy using the rating system to get back at people who's opinions they disagree with or discussions they dont like, I dont like messing with mylotters ratings thats why I never rate people negatively I only give positive ratings or I give none at all, because I dont like to do anything to make someones rating go down, and if I disagree I just dont rate.

I made the mistake of talking in the political discussion that's why I dropped like a lead balloon. And I even tried for neutral. Oh well. Atleast I know what I did. I figure people will get to seeing my pretty face around here and start showing some love. I can hope, right? I guess I may have to curb my open answers to things... Nah, on second thought where would the fun be in that?

Personally I sometimes think that this Star thing is over rated, and some people in here have used it as a Power trip. I know there are many in here who are not a "10", that I feel should be, and personally why are there people just because they disagree with someone go around rating them negative? Personally unless someone is Spamming the system in here, they do not deserve a Negative in here, and I feel sometimes that one is way over used for sure.

Truthfully I don't know why it went down! I have never heard you say anything that was negative. I hope you get your 10 back soon!

who knows. i'm sure alot of people don't like what i say as u can see my star is down to 7 & has been forever. i do think u should be informed as to why this happens but u aren't .first time it happened i sent mylot a message asking why but i never got an answer. if u don't know what u have done wrong u will probably keep doing it & not know u are. i learned a long time ago u can't please everyone & it's the same on mylot. don't worry about it. there is nothing u can do about it that i know of.

I try not to worry too much about the rates. Also not to get disappointed cause people are different, have different thoughts and opinions. And there are people here that rates you negatively if they don´t agree with you. This doesn´t mean you´re a bad person or did something bad. Just means that you are in a place with thousands of different minds. You know, don´t worry. Not even Jesus pleased everybody!

Hi why don't you contact the my lot team regarding the issue. i aam sure you will get theappropriate reason for the demotion...

I don't think that your star went down because of negative rating. I think it might just be that you are not writing as many dicsussions, I think that I have been fluxuating a lot in my ratings but I try to keep up as much as I can. I hope that you are able to raise your rating again, I know I'll vote for you,LOL.

Sorry, Iam new member of lotters. I just learn how to make my account grow up. My account was $o.12. So I didn't understand yet what u talk about.

What the heck does this thing mean? I don't get it either! I'm pretty sure yesterday I didn't even have a star and now I have a star that has a "5" on it. So the higher the star, the better? And I don't think most people even pay attention to their stars or what stars other people have. :/

this is open forum and things like this do happen.it is not at all necessary that people from all over the world should share the same opinion as yours.i have not rated anyone negative but i do know of some mylotters who regularly do so(thry have their reasons)

Hey, count me in cause i have 10 before and turn into 9 now. Don't be sad It will all comes up again Um i think it's automatic turn just like the weather. LOL No worries dear,..it is not permanent either. We still have tomorrow (did i sounds like Shirley Temple??) Happy posting always,oxoxo'dian from bali island.

Hello there! Forgive my ignorance but I still don't understand how we get all these colorful stars next to our usernames so I guess it doesn't really matter if I get a 1 or 9 in there. Anyway, I am sorry that you are so disappointed about your star points. Don't worry about it. Maybe somebody just made a mistake or something.

It is a matter of different perceptions on an issue by different people. It is not that somebody hates you and intentionally gives a lesser rating to bring down the star rating. Star rating is not a comment on your reputation. Keep posting and stop taking this thing to your heart.

Based on my experience, it could be due to more than one reason. I experienced it twice. Each time after I gave my opinion on sensitive topics. It seems that there is a group of people who talk about democracy, freedom of expression, tranparency, and possibly other similar words, who do not practice what they preach. Someone giving an opinion which they dislike and immediately they give a negative rating to the post, and other posts too. Since there is more than one of them and they attack more than just that particular opinion, the total rating drops. I have experienced this on other sites too. Avoid paying attention to this. The more you worry, the less you can concentrate on giving your best. IF this happens then they have won on two fronts. all the best in your postings, rosdimy

lol Hopefully you are just being sarcastic. Cause you can NOT be on a blogging site and wonder or worry about what people think or say about you. Who cares? They don't know you!
