Star Ratings Accurate?

moneymaker 92 I feel that the rating by us mylotters is too iffy as though the mylot admins says not to rate someone negative just because the user does not agree with the poster's opinion. but some mylotters will do this and it is just not right. We should all rate positive for clear, quality responses.I was at an eight for ages and finally got moved up to 9 but when I first came here I had a ten. the trolls moved me down to 5 from a 10 overnight.I protested and mylot admins caught the two men and kicked them out but only put me up to an 8 but now I have moved up to 9 and one day maybe a 10 again.

It takes a lot of time before you get a higher rating, I started at 6 as well, you'll do fine don't worry, and they aren't really accurate as people can be really mean and decide they don't like what you wrote, so don't take the rank seriously, I honestly don't like it myself, I honestly think it is just one of those popularity contest things.

I am still not sure how you get a rating. I found that my 10 rating only came when I started rating the responses to my discussion and giving a award to the best. I also try to enter discussions in more interests. But it may just have been the amount of discussions and responses I did on mylot.

Eheheheh, don't worry, if you can "join the right club", your reputation will grow quickly. Otherwise you will need to wait much more. That's because here there are at least 2 different categories of members: the ones that care about their "friends" and the ones that don't cares. Recognize the first is quite easy, just look at the discussions with lot of responses... if you see all high ratings, 8 9 and 10, then they are the first cat. You will see they answers all the discussions of their friends, and obviously they rate each other. The second category, instead, answer really few to their friends discussions, and seems to ignore that you can rate other people ;) So best wishes, and well chose your friends ;)

It takes a long time to get up there. I was shocked with my old account when I finally made it up that far. But then I lost it all over night. Personally though I liked the 7 star the best to me it was the prettiest one. Plus I like the #7. It all depends on people + you. The more you get the better.

Congratulations on the star. I got quite excited when I got mine. The number is for how other users rate your participation in the discussions so it's not really about how much you have participated. So that's pretty subjective. What I do is really have fun and always be helpful. I try to answer the questions first before I share a little bit about myself. That seems to work for me.

Since your rating is dependent on who gives you a positive rating if you have gone unrated I can see your star not having as high a number. You will probably see a rapid improvement the more you write and the more friends you have.

As you go on and people rate you more often I am sure it will increase.. however it is a little disheartening when you start seeing it decrease.. I personally don't even look at mine anymore! I could care less. It isn't going to change how or what I write!

Hello there, I have to say, what you have been through now, we all there before. In face, you already doing pretty good! I think i start with 3 or 4, i can't rememeber, and the star is not only the quality of your post, also the "+" sign that people rate you, so the more active you are, the better rating you will have. Don't worry, you will be a 10 very soon! Keep working!
