Well I just want to Apologize for whom ever I have made mad. I didnt make much today and I did more responses than I normally do. So I guess reaching out there to others don't always benefit, I must of offended someone along the way. I am sorry, I do post my opinion at times and hope that people wouldnt rate me negative for it but they do. I thought we could post our opinion and even if someone didnt agree to it that they shouldnt rate us negative only if we are rude or something like that. Anyway's Sorry whom ever you are I will watch my opinion more closely, I promise.

I believe that is why my star rating went down. It took me only a few days to get to a ten and just one day to drop to a nine and now it's been two weeks and I still can't get back to a 10.
That is one thing I would like myLot to deal with. It is too easy to rate someone in a negative way.

I doubt very much you made anyone mad and if you did who cares, you shouldn't. The whole point of myLot is to give your opinion. There is no way to understand how myLot counts your points. One word answers will not get you much, if anything so we just keep on going because some days your earning show more than what you expected. There has been suggestions that myLot has a cutoff time for payment i.e. after midnight as I doing think it will count all your posting up to the exact minute before calculating payments.

Don't let this get you too concerned. A lot of us have dropped in ratings overnight. We must have made a lot of people mad! I won't apologize for giving my opinion or answering a discussion with an honest and well thought out reply. I don't answer with rude or ignorant comments, and I always try to consider the writer's opinions and validate that they are entitled to them as I am entitled to mine. It's a shame that some people are using the negative ratings as a weapon. Some people here will not change. You'll be back up there in a day or so. Keep up the good work!

I only got 6 cents which is the lowest I've ever made even when I first started.

That doesn't seem fair that you feel you should have to watch what you say in your opinions for fear of making less . I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion weather it agrees with mine or not . I always rate a positive if someone answers to my posts as long as it is not a simple yes or no and relates to the topic .
Try not to worry about those that are being so judgemental about your responses and best of luck .

I hate that. The morons that post 'yes, i am' or 'i don't know' deserve negative ratings, not people who disagree with you. I like to receive posts from people who support me, but it's not bad to have some that challenge me, too. Don't apologize, and when you see ratings, just consider their sources....

I'm wondering if someone is "angry" at the people who have 10's and 9's? And is rating them all negative just because. I was reading somewhere, where someone stated they were tired of all the cliques and high ratings but I can't remember what it was titled because I never replied to it.
It is sad that if you want your star rating to stay high, you have to watch what you post in :(

Well I am sorry this happened to you. I rarely rate people with a negative. I will if they are really rude or just post gibberish. I hope your ratings & earnings go back up soon.

I now choose discussions that I think I can give better judgment. Others here post discussions about their rants and dirty topics, so I try to avoid it as well as I could. This might be the reason why I earn a little from the past weeks. But I don't worry about the money, my concern are from other foolish members who plays on +/- ratings that they can easily access without our knowledge:(

I guess that there are a lot of people who just do not want to hear an opinion that is different than what they believe in or want to hear. Just keep saying what you really believe. It is more important to be right than to be popular. I have faith in you.

I see a lot of posts to this effect. I would think it would be hard for one person to bring a person's rating down so much in a day. I must not be looking in the right place, as I have not seen anything that should be considered offensive. Maybe I am just blind. Good luck to you friend.

i think people need to suck it up and this whole rating thins is BS. i think that if you are going to give a negative rating, you better have a damned good reason for it. i don't know you and i don't know if you offended anyone...but if it was simply somethign like they did not agree with what you said or you called them out for being a moron, then they are the ones with the problem. Don't let it get to you, sweetie. It's just the internet. i don't even knwo my own star rating.
