I really felt happy when i reached the rank 10 and the blue star.. I know that it really doesn't matter for some here if their stars go down and up so fast..but why is this happening? I really felt sad now because from 10 it went to 9 :(( I aimed for a ten here really and i worked hard to get it but it went down so fast that i didn't know what i did for having it =( Why is this happening? Do you feel sad when your rank goes down? How do we bring it back up to ten?

Thanks my friend. I know deep inside that my rank is 10 so from now on i won't be feeling sad if ever it goes down to 1. I will feel sad somehow but it will never make me have hurt feelings to myLot admin or to my fellow Mylotters. I love it here and i love the members as well. All of us deserves a blue star

It will be super extra gift for you here. I felt that way too. I got my blue star after 1 year of being a member here but it's really worth the hard work. We all deserve the blue star here so don't feel too ashamed. The ranking starts when you reach 100 posts..so aim for it and you will receive it in no time :)

Your ranking goes down when your posts get rated negatively. I know my ranking has gone up and down so many times! But I've been stuck at 9 for years now!!! I'd really like to be at a 10. Like you, I also care a lot about my ranking! I'm sorry yours went down! Hopefully it will go back up again!

Let's just not lose hope. I got my blue star after a year of being a member here so i guess getting it back will never be that easy nor will it be too hard for we already experienced having it.

law is that we cannot rate any one person more than 11 times in a 24 hour period,But someone has rated you negative and probably he or she did this as they did not agree with your own viewpoint so hit minus key.This is really against mylot rules as we are NOT TO MINUS SOMEONE unless they insult us.we do not minus just because we do not agree with them. all of us have a right to our own opinions and are not to minus anyone just because we do not have the same opinions as the other person. We are to minus only if the person has been insulting or flaming or not well written at all. I rarely ever minus any one as if its really that bad I just report the discussion to mylot admins and let them figure it out themselves. I hope you get your tem star back soon and feel good again about mylot. Sorry that some one had to be mean like that r to you. o 8

It's ok, i feel better now after having a day off here. I realized that you can never please everybody here and that no matter how good you are to others they just don't feel like being good to you. I will still be aiming for the blue star and be happy with what i have now.. :)

You'll get it back. My ranking has went to every number you can imagine.. Just post a LOT of quality responses, and your number should go back up to 10 soon. You might have just said something that someone disagreed with.. I like to avoid controversial topics because of that.

I don't want to avoid any topic just as long as i know i have something to say. But i guess they starter of the post or any other responders didn't just like my responses. I can't force them all to like what i write so i guess i just let it be for now. I will get the blue star soon..hopefully :)

I would urge you to participate a little more within discussions. Try to match and outnumber the number of discussion posts you made before getting a ten rating. Why this is happening is because new users are getting higher within the system, and you may have lost activity since then. Don't loose hope, and try to achieve what you have so actively worked to gain. After all, your experience gaining it, will help you to regain such a position. It amazes me to see that you have posted in excess of 1000 articles, as I've only seen such numbers a few times. I hope to reach that number by the end of this month. Gaiza, please do update us on the happenings of your MyLot account. Best of luck in MyLot, and may the competition and popularity of this program grow five fold.

I worked hard to get a 1000 plus responses and comments and started discussions for 1 year. Other can get it in no time.. I got the blue star in a matter of 1-2months of being active here and it just suddenly went down that fast. Well anyway, i know is is always like that here. It still won't make me feel down for i know deep inside that all of us here deserves a blue star . You too for sure will get it in no time..you're so nice. Thanks :)

You don't have to be upset to your reputation star. First, it has nothing to do with your earning. Even if your reputation star is low, your earning won't be effected. Second, some people are very mean and they rate others' posts negative on purpose. So you don't have to care about these rates because it is not fair. I never care about my reputation star. I will rate your discussion positive and I hope your star will be blue again. I love China

Thanks youless..needed that rate :) After a day off here i realized a lot of stuff and the going down of my reputation just made me more eager to aim for the blue again. This made me see things more positively. I know this won't affect my earning, i never really cared mush about my earning here although receiving payout will surely make me happy.

Well I left you a ten on this discussion just so you know. I'm sorry your ranking has gone down. My star rating has done down as well. I have always been at a 10 but I noticed lately my ranking isnt 98/100 like it was. It is now 97/100. That makes me sad :( I dont want to loose my blue star so I know exactly how you feel now that yours isnt a 10. I see many really good mylotters who leave quality comments and make quality discussions but dont have a 10. I find that sad for them. Its like even if we do quality disucssions some people will just leave negatives for us anyway.

Yeah, i have noticed that as well. I guess we just can't please everybody here. I do hope that no matter what our comments are, negative or positive, i just hope that they will not rate us negatively. For i think that we can say our opinions here no matter what others feel. I guess there are just some members here who rate negatively and abuse the ratings..that's really sad. Thanks for the positive rating..i guess i needed that :) I rate all my responders positive to help them with their rankings as well..

The going down of my rank will never be a reason for me to be discouraged to stay here and to do good here. It will only make me even more eager to respond positively and be good to others here. Thanks :)

My rating star went down from 7 to 6, it really bugs me and I'm trying to get it back up. I guess I'm not the only one whose rating has gone down.

Well that's really sad. It has happened to me once also. When i had a rating of 7 then after some days it went down to six and i felt sad about that but in next one week i went up to 8 rating so again i became very happy. You also don't need to worry as you will get upto 10 very soon. And to help you i will give you a + rating right now. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

Thanks harry..i think i really needed that. Although getting the blue star will really be hard but it won't make me feel discouraged here. We all deserve a blue star for we all have our own opinions, it's just that others don't respect our opinions. :)

friend, ... it will take some more time for you to understand the various technicalities, which might have a bearing on the income formula. Blue or red, what ever be the star, it is a rating. YOU can read more about that in the guidelines and faqs ... written by mylot. BUT, ALL you need to do ... to get a good rating, ( you will get your star after you cross 100 valid posts) ... write lengthy, meaningful sentences, Mylot guidelines state that you should be able to convert the topic into a chat, a discussion with valid sentences, often crossing four sentences. Goodluck.
