My friend got depression after see his rating what sholud he do?

I have some good advice and some advice your not going to want to hear. If your friend cant except what others think about his opinions, maybe he should keep them to himself. No one group is ever going to agree with everything and anything someone says; we all have our rite to opinions. But in the same tocken a very wize man once said "Those who Judge do not matter" and "Those that do not pass judgement will not be Judged." I hope this helps.

Why does he care so much about what people here think of him? We're all strangers to him. I don't know who your friend is, so I don't know whether or not his posts are really good. But, I see that most 9-star and 10-star people have tons of posts. A lot more than 100. I think it takes time to get to a decent rating, so he should just keep working at it. If his posts are really good, then I'm sure he'll get a high rating eventually.

At 6000+ posts I am at rating 9 so I don’t really know how this rating system works. However, it in no way affects how people think about me, how my friends respond to me and how much I earn here. So if your friend is here just to enjoy the experience and earn some honest money, then rating should not be a problem really.

Don't be demoralized by the rating you get here. It shouldn't be used as the yardstick to measure the quality of individual strength. The rating is easily abused as it is all manually rated by other mylotters here and not from the admin. Some people rate based on emotions. If they find you not to their likins they can simply rate you negative and that affects the star you get. Just stay active here and it will improve as time goes by. Do not surrender as the star position is springy. Enjoy the fun here and things will change of the better.

Oh no?! I got nervous too, I'll be reaching 100 posts and don't know what will be my rating. I hope it's not that too low. uhu. Did you tell him to look at his grammar? Or maybe the discussions that he made didn't have a lot of responses? Or another is that he didn't get any best responses? Just like mine. LOL

hi tell ur friend that these ratings also increase rapidly. the thing is if u stopd postins and get depressed then ur rating are not suurely going to increase but if u continously post then atleast u will have a chance to improve it. somehing is better than nothing.hey i am a really bad writer . my writing sucks . and still i am posting . u r definitely better than me . if i expect to score more then u definitely deserve to score more than me .good luch buddy . and cheer up

Well he should not be depressed by just looking at the rating system only. If he truly enjoys this site then the rating system, is irrelevant to him and continue on enjoying it by time it will rise if he is really good in writing. To avoid being pulled down in ratings, he should always see to it that he writes positively or even responds not to hurt someone with his writings. I guess from there he can find good friends in here that might give him positive ratings.

Your friend should be told that stars can change to any member that is on My Lot. I would advise him to get more friends and to respond to their discussions. Hopefully then they will respond to the discussions that he starts. Your friend writes quality posts so members should soon respond with +. I think it is only a matter of time before his My Lot reputation increases. You could ask him which star he would like and then he could attempt to get it. Good luck to your friend.

He shouldn't let the star rating get him down. It goes up and down and often takes a while to build it up. He should just get on here and enjoy himself and not worry about it. Is he fairly new here? Did his rating drop or is he just feeling that it should be higher?

That friend of yours really should not be depressed. If mylot is seriously going to make him depressed in life, well that's totally not worth it, even if he only get's depressed when he goes on mylot. Your friend has quality posts which probably means his post is long and he likes to really explain his point of view. Alot of dumb people in mylot start rating people negatively straight away if the person does not agree with there point of view. Tell him or her to ignore it.

hey rucrazy it is alright to get a 4 star rating when someone has just reached 100 posts, when i was at 100 star rating i just had 5 stars myself and look now what it has become, it will get better with time my friend, call your friend up coz there is nothing to feel bad about... your ratings will increase gradually, this is only a start.... so call your friend and enjoy this site.

He should try to improve on his posting. There is no need getting depressed, it would not help him, all he would be taking one step forward and two steps back

Is that so??? I guess those rating is base on how other members have rated him. That is base on the quality of the post. Some are also conscious regarding on the spelling of words and the grammars. tell your friend that he just go on with the activities and later his rating will just go up higher. Have fun MyLotting.

It is really unnecessary completely for your friend to pay much attention to the rating. You see, I have to say that the algorithm of reputation in myLot is fair and it is next to impossible that he has just gotten only 4 star if he doed quality posts all the time. Of course, the Discussion Rating System allows users to rate the usefulness of topics, responses, and comments on myLot and members here should rate discussions, responses, comments, and photos based upon quality and usefulness. If he have worked hard all the time, people here will keep a good relationship with him. If your friends can keep posting high-quality concents here and I believe that he will succeed sooner or later. Good luck!

Tell him not to take anything personal here. Just to relax, and enjoy his time with his real friends.

rucrazy4, In the first place, I feel that your friend should not be oversensitive and forget to enjoy himself/herself here. I am sure that the discussions and friendship here should really matter more than some star ratings. Frankly speaking, these star ratings aren't going to win anyone an Oscar or an Emmy, so just relax and go about your postings. I am sure when the posts gets better, the ratings will just come automatically. However, there should not be any star rating to keep your friend away from speaking for himself and stating his prerogatives. So, I would ask him to turn a blind eye on the stars and blast away! Have a nice day and Happy Mylotting.

Hmm who is your friend I'll be sure to send some positive stuff his way.
