I am just curious. I am just wondering. What do you think are the basis for these top rated discussions? Is it the responses? Is it the topic itself? Or is it the way we discussed our topic? I noticed, many of these top rated have numbers of responses. Some have only one or two responses. There is even one that is somewhat censored But still classified as top rated. Some of my topics were included in it. I really just wonder. Do you know the answer?

This is the official line given out by myLot : Top Rated Discussions have the most 'likes' in the previous 24 hours. Hot Discussions have the most 'responses' during the last 24 hours, no matter when they were posted. You will never see a post with only 1 or 2 responses or likes at the top of either of those lists.

Those at the top have high scores but when you scroll down you can see posts with very few responses.

@magallon Yes, if you go down far enough you will see those with less traffic.

I am also wondering how it lands to the top rated and even the interesting topics... maybe it's based on the number of likes.

@sunrisefan tags? Most of the time I add tags to my discussions. Sometimes they go to the interesting discussions and most of the time they don't.

@brokenbee Is that so? My observation was that whenever I placed a tag (Sunrise watch, cloud watch, sky watch, New Zealand) on my Discussion, it went to Interesting Discussions.

I found out that Interesting Discussions are those that have tags.

From what I understand it is machine generated based on numbers. I think it is number of responses. All posts go there somewhere on the list and it cycles from day to day.

@magallon I think there are readers outside of this site.Our posts might be displayed to other specialized site for payment purpose, like Triond.

I am not sure if it is really responses. Because I have a discussion which got 16 responses but not included in the top rated. Then I have a discussion that got 4 responses but in the top rated.

It's based on the number of likes for discussions submitted within a period of time - not sure if it's within 24 or 48 hours...

The first time i checkef it I really think that maybe it is the number of responses that made those discussions top rated. Because it is shown by the number of responses.

@magallon,I think,it is a good number of responses received by them that makes them top rated.

I don't pay attention to the top-rated discussions. When I was on the other site before it bit the dust, everyone got their nose out of joint because the same people were always on the front page with top rated posts. I read a post because the topic interests me.

@magallon Okay, I'm not sure what you mean by your question. When I do my notifications, I respond to the comment, or I respond to the post. I then go to said person's profile, read and respond to one of their posts, usually the first one listed on their discussions. Because of the number of notifications I receive every day, I can only respond to one post per profile or I would never see the end of my notifications. So does that answer your question?

I believe, as what somebody stated here, that it is the tags used that makes a discussion top rate

@magallon Interesting list is what based on tags, so the list is different for each member depending on what tags are considered 'interesting' by the member.

@magallon The tags that you put in your discussion. I think that is where the admin chooses the top[ rate discussions

I don't recall seeing a top rated discussion that has only two respondents on it, unless it's a glitch or your seeing double? top rated post are probably post mostly visit and responded to by users
