Honest Opinion or Rating Conscious?

Hi there eichs! I always write what I feel. There is no point in writing something which is not my real opinion just for the sake of getting a rating which might not work anyway. Users sometimes are in a bad mood, don't like an avatar, ate too much pepper at lunchtime or anything else you can think of and this reflects on how they rate. They may even rate without even reading a discussion or a response just because it gives them a feeling of some sort of power. Be yourself. You will feel better and people will see you being consistent too. Most of all have fun, which is not easy if you have to think out everything and hope others will agree with it

Ratings do not effect your payout, but sugarcoating your discussions would ruin the discussion for you. Unless you are being honest with yourself you will get no fun out of myLot. My ratings have swung between 76 and 77 for over 2 years. I gave up worrying about it long ago. myLot will not explain the reasons.

When I started MYLOTTING, I have received good rating of 80, but I was not conscious of my ratings then until it increased to 92 then bounced back to my present rating which is 86. I felt sad and affected because I am in GOOD FAITH that I have not done wrong against anyone here. Like you, I voiced out what to be my honest opinion and what I believe in. Too bad that we have no idea who might have gave us a negative rating for us to at least know why they gave us that kind of rating and assess ourselves if it is really offensive or not. Certainly, your mind is confused what to do right now. Like you, I also made a discussion about this topic and most of my respondents advised me to ignore it for as long as my earnings is not affected. That is precisely true and I would tell you the same. My friend, do what you think is right. Write whatever your mind feels to write. Respond and comment in accordance with your honest opinion. Don't conform into an opinion or idea that is against yours. You cannot please everybody here in Mylot because this is an interracial community. We have different cultures, opinions, ideas and sometimes the mood is another factor. Good Luck to you always and happy mylotting!

Im pretty new to the Mylot scene, and I must say I really dont understand your post. As far as the star rating thing, I did not even realize there was such a thing. But as far as giving your honest opinion, I believe you should always do so. I believe in always saying how you feel, even if it is not the most popular trend. I dont have the ability to be fake...I cannot bring myself just to say what people want to hear. If you ask my opinion (and sometimes when you dont) you will at least get an honest answer. I think people would respect you more for honesty, rather than just giving a popular response.

Your situation is really funny. However, I am yet to experience something like this till now. My star rating has always gone up, though I have very few of them. I always like to post honest opinions. Sometimes when I find a duplicate discussion has been started, I feel free to tell that to the discussion starter then and there. I never think that he might rate me negative for that.

I am what I am and will answer that way. Even when I disagree I try to do so with respect though I'm not always shown that. As for the ratings... mine are falling though I'm not concerned that it was do to stepping on anyone's toes. I've had mostly good things going on. I'm not sure what happened and don't really worry about. I'm hoping that as I'm here more people will grow to like seeing my responses and rate as such.

I am not quite sure that I understand your question. Although I think that my wonderment is how you can tell how your ratings work. I don't understand how you know anything about those numbers sliding. Is there any information you can give me so I can tell? Right now I have a 10 rating and it has been holding for a while. I am keeping my fingers crosses on that one! If I were you I would still remain honest. I am not really sure how the algorithm works here and I am trying to avoid figuring it out.

I always post honest opinions never mind if it is contradicting other ideas, what I am trying to say is based on my own idea. I don't care if I will rated negative. For me there's no such thing as wrong opinion, as long as it is what you think is right and made your own stand so be it. I never care about ratings I just want to voice out my opinion.

hiii eichs1...Happy yo meet you here...Yeah once upon a time i had experienced the same..My star was 8 and at once it drastically goes to 7..I had not understood why it goes like this..And the other thing is like to respond to all the discussions in a polite way.... No i am rated to all the members in this discussion and i am responding..Actually this is my nature..I don't know why people are behaving in this manner giving negative rating for the polite responses also...So from now we have to be much more politeway to get much rating..gud posting...happy mylotting...
