Well, I am really a newbie here, Even I didn't complete my 100 post, I get tired and really disappointed because of negative ratings makes me somewhat of annoying and reduce the time to be spend here. Being a neutral person, I strongly believe that I didn't post anything against TOS and/or any stupid things. But before posting my last discussion I had ranking in around 5,000 in "mylot" and in the level of 12. Now it is gradually decreased to level 9. lol. What's going on guys ?

"...I had ranking in around 5,000 in "mylot" and in the level of 12. Now it is gradually decreased to level 9." Can you enlighten me about what you refer to? Obviously it is not about the star ratings.

no no no the interest ratings do not i repeat do not have a darned thing to do with our earnings.they do go up and down like yos yos depending on how many people are in an interest ,you are not paid for these ratings you have this confused with the reputations and star system which is figured into our earnings algorithm so please do not spread false info I have been here three years and I have read the information. it seems neither of you have and are worrying yourselves for nothing. the interest ratings do not affec you in any way and certainly not in a money way.so no they do not I repeat do not affect your earnings. your star ranking does and mylot admins explained that if you two would just hit mylot read the menu and check all the information out, you both would then know not to worry about interest ratings at all.

Duh! Ah yes, I do know what you are referring to. It simply slipped my mind since I do not pay much attention to rankings. They are too subjective and IMO, more of a popularity contest. But yes, I guess they do affect our payments. C'est la vie.

I'm talking about interest ranking. You may see that in your profile, under "my Interest Ranking"

I stopped answering posts on religion and opolitics even if I´m interested in those subjects but there are some people who will rate you negative there if you don´t think like them. I friends of mine had his rating go dooown in one day because I make a post about religion which was not liked by some people. I don´t like that, but there´s nothing we can do until mylot changes its rules. Please go on posting!

In real life, one usually comes to know the people before telling them something "hot". Just think that there are things you would never dream of telling your own mother. Take care!

OMG. I just forgot this point. Really I was willing to post something hot before reading your post. But now I came to understand that it will make ours go lower. lol, What kind of world. Always do we live and talk for people , what they want and don't what we want? So that only this makes monopoly in many discussions :(

wje hi I have been here a lot time and my ratings in varius interests go up and down as others get higher ratings and these interest things are fun to see but have nothing to do with our repuataions or our rankings at all. these interest things move up and down with u all so do not worry about it as it does not touch your reputaton or your earnings in any way whether you rate 12 or 9 or what not. I have been allover the map.,like I say it has nothing to do with how well we rank as reputaton. our reputations do influence our earnings as they are figured into our earnings algorithm. a cue is Inever ever even check my ratings as they do not have a thing to do with how much we earn, if you thought we were paid according to these interest things you are wrong. do read all the info so you will not u pset yourself again for no reason. lol lol lol

I try not to concentrate on the ratings. But as long as your posts make some form of sense and you give good (or at least appropriate) answers, respond to those who post on your discussion and stay active, you should do just fine. I gave you a + if that helps:) Good Luck.

I was like you before. I'm inactive here before and sometimes I get disappointed because of my ratings too. From 8 I fall down to 7 but now I;m back to 8 again. My mistake before is I didn't respond to my own discussions. I just let others to respond in my discussion and then I'll post another new discussion and ignore the earlier discussion that's why I wasn't able to respond and mylotters gave me negative ratings. Huhu. Maybe that could be the reason. Another is, if your discussion is too short something like that so you must make your posts longer and participating in your own discussion would help. Don't feel disappointed. HAppy mylotting!

wje again your mylotter here did not understand he is talking about interest ratings not star rankings and reps, interest ratings have nothing to do with any earnings. you could have top interes rating and you still do nogt earn anytghing for that' AS WE ALL GO UP AND DOWN ALL THE TIME ON THE VARIOOUS RATINGS. the only thing that affects our earnings are how high our stars are as mylog in their information if you will just taketime to really read it says it is figured into the earnings algorhitm . this is not interest rating. you are talking one thing, and wje is talking interest ranking. interest ranking has not one damned thing to do with our earnings. is that clear?

I try not to be too concerned about the ratings system. The reality for me is that I enjoy responding to discussions like yours. So, I try to think about what would be helpful to the person to whom I am responding. If it helps at all, maybe try to focus on the discussions themselves?

That could very well be. I do know that it is important not only to start discussions, but to respond to them as you seem to be doing. I also think that we get negative ratings when the responses are not meaningful--Beyond that, I am not clear what advice or clarity I can give you. I hope this little bit helps.

But I believe that rating will affect your earning. So that you have to keep good your post, hence your rating to earn more..

Looks like you are confused about star rating and interests ranking. These two are not inter related. While star rating influences your earnings, interests ranking only shows how active you are in responding to that interest. The lower your interest ranking the more active you are in that interest.

I think newbies should be working upon getting things rightly than to bother about their reputations or interests levels.Had my share of neggings when i was new in here ... eventually you'll learn about it.Once you put on those skates and get going having fun in here believe me last thing you would care for is your star color and earnings.Great day.

It would be much better for us all if there were no ratings and no stars. Then we could concentrate our efforts in discussions with fear!

Welcome to mylot! If you are in mylot to just talk to people and share you can't care about the rules. If you are here as a serious myloter who want's to make as much money as possible you'll read the facts. I happen to be somewhere in the middle. If you have a question, make sure it isn't covered in the information already. Happy reading!

hi, absolutely yes, because once they had this negative ratings, they would feel that they are unwelcome here in mylot, and could discourage them easily here.
