Mylot Reputation

myself is the one who are not good in grammar, so using this site also improves and practice my english skills. I am filipino. but i give my opinions,ideas and advice the best that i can in english word.. and gladly that they do not see my words but see what do am i trying to express.

I never meant that the star shows how good one is in the English language. May be it is the interpretation of someone like you can this could be interpreted in any way by anyone. I however, didn't mean it at all and it wasn't even in my mind when I was writing that question above. I merely wanted to draw the attention of the people towards the language quality though I know that it is never an ingredient in accessing mylotters here. I agree that good English doesn't necessarily mean that the posts are interesting by any means. But how often do you rate a post or a response if you start a discussion. I have heard many people say here that mylot is a place where they can improve their writing skills. That is so true and satisfying to know this.

It is my honor to be here to share and learn something with you all.

That' right what you said and observed the same thing as I did. But I don't think it will be right to go on giving a plus to each and every discussion or response at will. I fear that might be abusing the system. Just increasing the star reputation cannot be the only aim here. There are times when we have a neutral view about something or things are we are not interested in. We tend to ignore the ratings at such times. I, at least, do this.

@ natliegleb, What you are saying however does not seem to be a characteristic here while rating the mylot users. @ Sindelle, As the Lamb has pointed out, only the rating given by the members is taken into account. I mean there shouldn't be any problem with the response if the contents are useful. As I had mentioned in the query above, I had seen many posts that had enough errors to be easily rejected. However, I found the contents useful and that would bring value to the entire particular discussion. I totally agree with Adnileb. My mind and conscious will never allow me to rate someone negatively if I have got some useful info in the response.

I think it would be a bad decision to rate someone a minus just because the grammar is not good. I don't rate someone a minus because of that and I rarely rate minus to members. There are certain rules when to or when not to use the (-) so be careful.

Hopefully Mylot users take into consideration that some of its members are still developing their English skills when passing out ratings.

Hi, Yes, I have been here since when I think the total mylot population was about 1,45,000. I don't remember the figure exactly. So, there are about 1,00,000 people who joined after me. The first few things are known to me and I always see the ratings of other members too. As far as the other things are concerned, I am well aware of these things, as you mentioned I have been here for a long time. Anyways, thanks for the information.

abhiu I think you are participating less. because one day back i saw number as 1652 and now 1653 only. you have been posting replies in this only. The problem is in case a discussion is deleted all our efforts will go waste. so it is better to post responses in various discussions so that deletion will not affect us much.

You are right about what you said about the deletion. But there are two things I would like to say. The first is I don't think this discussion will get deleted as it is not violating any guidelines. Secondly, I have heard, but I am not sure that the bucks we earn for a certain discussion and it gets deleted, are adjusted somewhere else in the other discussions. Now, again let me say, I am not sure about this rule though.

I am sure by 'different' you mean to say that the earnings are 'better' and 'improved'. Am I right? So this means that the reputation and the star rankings do have a say in our earnings. Thanks for the response. Even if you don't have any proof, now I have it that the earnings can increase. This is your experience after all.

really varier?? i think our payment or earning is based on the many post that we respond?

Yes, you are right. It can be explained with this: myLot won't be able to pay everyone at fixed rate. They will pay less to members with low quality, which is represented by their low user reputation.

Your rating will not show until you reach 100 points . Be active and get to know members because they are the ones rating you . Dont worry you will get your star soon .

@ auwielady, As silverfox09 has pointed out, you will need to reach at least 100 posts here before you see any rating. I guess, the time one takes to reach 100 posts is the time the admin or the algorithm uses to see the level of your responses, etc. But if you are active with interesting and useful information in your responses, you will see a good rating when you are 100 posts old. You have about 56 more to go. I would say don't rush in to complete the 100 posts and see what your rating is. Go on naturally! Good luck!

Oh! Thank you! I wasn't quite aware of that. Thank you so much for that information! I will be active indeed. :)

@ cobalt20, Like you, I also don't give much importance to the reputation as long as two things are happening - my responses are getting noticed here and secondly, I am getting paid. Of course, I am not here to earn or giving earning the first priority. Mylot is not a site to earn fast bucks, I believe. People here are friendly and help each other. That's the best value a site can give. I am sure as ravi has mentioned will happen with you, me and everyone else if the responses hold some value and one gets a "+" for the activity.

cobalt we have to write tin english. Quality fo english is not relevant. content quality is important. if other members like what you post they will give +. then your reputation will improve. now you have 6 star and it will further rise to 7,8,9 and 10 step by step. read the discussions and also the links given by other members.

Do all people really rate others' posts? To be honest I am not too regular in doing that? Can that have any impact on my ratings? Yes, though the reputation of 81 is not bad, it's not moving either. I have been there on 80 for many days and just moved to 81 a few days back. So, I don't know really how much being regular here affects that. I know that it is the quality of the posts and not the quantity that really matters. But do the people with a higher reputation earn more what they would have earned for a lower reputation?

I am not aware of the reputation .. and now i know it's kind of interesting its add to our good image here in my lot.Quality and quantity..well for me, what my heart says.. i will right..e

By the way you already have a reputation of more than 90. So that's great. I hope you reach your target. Good luck for that.

yes. abhi your repuation is 80. you should also participate, start discussions and get more + from our friends and improve your score nicely.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am really happy to see that you have reached almost the top level before even reaching the 600 posts. Great job.

Thnaks Sindelle for wishing me. I would certainly take your advice seriously. Friends like you are every necessary when it comes to helping each other online and I believe, there is only one place on the planet at the moment and that is mylot.

If you haven't already I'd suggest reading over the rules on this site. At first I made the mistake of assuming they would be common sense but I was wrong. There were a few that took me by surprise. Good luck abhi_bangal you seem like an awfully talkative and friendly guy I'm sure you'll do well.

As many other members have said, that's right. Quality posts deserve to be rated highly. However, I don't know the second part of your answer. I haven't given it so much attention to see that the newbie are rated highly. Is it to encourage them and to increase their confidence?

Welcome you fearless one. To be honest, I never really paid a lot of attention to the stars and their meaning. Now even I have been enlightened and will certainly work towards the betterment of the reputation. As far as I know, interesting and quality posts can raise the reputation for sure. But I guess, there are many mylotters here who can guide you better than me. Or just follow the link given in one of the above responses

Well, I would say yes. I mean, the more bonding you show towards the other person you are in touch with here, the more your ideas will flow. If you respond considering the query of another mylotter as your own, you will be able to respond more precisely and with greater interest. Mylot is like a family and people here are indeed helpful. Be one of them, that's what I can say.

thanks..so that means one of the qualities that my lot member must have here is that HE/She must have full of ideas in mind.. must be open-minded and listen to other's problems ideas, and love sharing ideas..

@ ravisivan, I think ravisivan, you have missed a valid point in responding above. huyenhuyen1989hy was speaking about the mylot reputation in general. What we are talking about is the reputation of a single member in the site. It has nothing to do of the goodwill or the bad reputation a site carries. I guess, huyenhuyen1989hy has misinterpreted the meaning of the word 'reputation'. You could have mentioned that thing. @huyenhuyen1989hy, But now as ravi has mentioned the important things, I won't repeat things. I hope you have got the answer. You still need to go some distance before you will know some things that are still alien for you.

huyenhuyen1090hy You are from Vietnam. You are desirous of learning English . For that you have joined mylot and also to earn. good idea,. start discussions, post responses, post comments and earn more, mylot reputation is the stars you see for members having 100+ in bracket after their id--minimumn 0 and maximum 10.this is based on + or - other members give for our postings. enjoy,

@ wangzhenning, Welcome here. I am happy that your firstever response is to my discussion. I am sure you will also stumble upon many fresh things that were still in oblivion to you. There are scores of topics you can find info about and also put up your query to get relevant and important responses. Good luck here and happy mylotting!

Wangzhennin Welcome to mylot. Mylot repuration is based on + or - other members give us. You will get star after your getting 100 in bracket. (based on discussions and responses started by you/posted by you). enjoy.

Mylot is for all of us - irrespective of the fact one is native English speaker here or not. So, that is one point that hasn't been raised yet. And yes, the language has never been a factor here. Or I am sure there are many responses worth a delete. As far as earnings and reputation go, there looks to be a mixed bag. Some members are saying they have seen an increased with higher reputation, others are claiming it's the other way round. And it looks you are undecided

Nope. I am not worried about the ratings. The star and the rating stuff was playing in my mind for a long time now. It's just that I started the discussion at this time. I am not concerned about the earnings or the reputation. I have always said that the site is pretty much valuable in terms of the questions we get to solve and the novel information we get here.

The star has come against your name 8 posts ago, when you reached the 100 mark. I guess it rates all of us on a scale of 100 to see how much valuable our discussions here are. Someone please correct me, if I am wrong.
