Here's what, my fellow Filipinos.

Oh my! And I was about to say "You can call me traitor anytime since I am not nationalistic and I criticize Filipino actions so much that you can say I am insulting their works..." and those things until I've read everything. Is it important? I mean the leaderboard rankings? I don't think it is something to be watchful of but I don't know with you.

Well that is still one thing that boggles me here in mylot..those ratings and rankings on leaderboard, lol no matter how active i get here, how active i get in one interest or something, i never go up those boards as if i care lol.. but then again, i do not know why some would also negative rate people here, i don't and i guess i won't.

I'm with you! I say amen, and hope karma hits 'em.. I find such behavior as negative rating for opinion, very silly and grade schoolish.

The question is? Is it really important? I hope your not getting obsessive with the rankings. because I was once obsess reaching 98 to 100 on my star, but for certain reason, I have been lowered. more so, the 2010 elections made me lost a lot more. after a while, i decided not to make it matter anymore, and now i feel good. I believe the sensitive ones and those who are not ready to change or accept your truth will result in pure defensive mode. reminds me a lot of some one who is from a mylotter who is a liberal party member, lets say he was too smart, but too close minded because he believes he can step on any one for his intelligence. they were a lot of people he pissed of for being too critical, probably way too critic than you. but just let it pass, at least you still have your 9 star

Just relax my friend. Ok, let me understand it clearly you were saying that someone just hit the negative feedback button then your rank dropped? What if someone here have been given positive feedback from other Filipino members then he/she ranked up that would also mean they ranked you up right?

My gosh! Can people really do that here on Mylot? I didn't know. Really feel clueless now. I don't know anything about any Leaderboards. But I do know about rating a discussion or response as positive or negative. Personally, I have rated a lot of discussions positively, as well as some responders to the few discussions I started myself. I don't remember rating anybody negatively, however. My question now is, what are the advantages of being on top of the leaderboard? Do you earn more? Do they decrease your earnings when you fall off the leaderboard? Just asking here.

Oh well i guess it does matter if we have good rankings here.. but it does not concern me as much. i am more here to earn and have fun really. as long as i get my daily incentrives and rewards.. im all good... i'd be damned and be so angry if someone would be putting me on a reported user to be blocked because i worked so hard for my account here in mylot for 6 years and it would be unfair if someone kept on hitting me a negative ranking. Just let it be, i am sure that person who keeps hitting negative on you will stope eventually. you'll gain that plus ratings sooner than you thought. you can't put a good man down, right?

I think majority of the members here already experienced that. I was planning on posting one 'controversial' but timely post but I held on the submit button. I think I will ruffle some serious feathers. At least, you're not on Yahoo Phil. or any news station comments pages. The people who comment on those pages on those pages be rude, crude and brutal. Sometimes, you don't even know what the &^%$ they are talking about.

Honestly, at first I didn't know the deal about the leaderboard, either I am just sorely unobservant, or I just don't care (I think it's a little of both, lol!) But thanks to this discussion, I learned something new again. I was intrigued so I checked mine. When I hit page 12 and I still haven't seen my name, I just gave up, eeep! I've had the chance to see some of your discussions, and even comments, and I am with the rest of those who has commented above that it is with substance and I find myself nodding as I read on. If I were you, I would also be concerned if someone will keep on rating me negatively when it is very obvious that you didn't just thrown in some crappy reply. Anyway, this same "attitude" of us Filipinos didn't go unnoticed by my husband (a foreigner who works off-shore and handles a lot of FIlipino workers). It's not in their culture to mind someone else's work or business when they hardly have enough time to do their own. It amazes him how most of them can take the time of the day to bad-mouth a co-worker and list down everything they think was wrong with each other, yet they themselves have tons of work pending. I did try many times to explain our side, but there's nothing for me to explain. It is a bad trait, period. Some people just can't handle the truth. And also there are those who wants to hear only what they want to hear. If it's any consolation, here's one "Filipina" who sincerely believed that you should keep on with your truthfully hurtful but witty and decent discussions. Bugger the haters, haters will hate no matter what. BTW, it wasn't me, either lol! I am but a newbie who just enjoys writing and discussing anything I have taken interest in.
