Well it is a disappointment, however if you recognize yourself as being responsible, all I have to say is it sucks to be you if you're that miserable and I'm not going to sweat it. What's the problem, Well I woke up and turned on my computer and I immediately see I've not only lost my blue star but I went from a 98/100 to this. Feeling Good about it ? I sure hope so !!! Have a LOVELY day !!! I know what goes around comes around... No Worries...

I think there is really something wrong with myLot. Our ratings have all been dropped recently. I understand how you feel - it took 2 days for me to climb back to 10 this time.
Give it a day or 2 my friend, I think your rating would be back to normal soon. I am going to go to all your discussions now and give you all the pluses. Hope this will help you return to 10 tomorrow. ;-)

Yea, it took me 5 min to go through all the pages. So do I get a burger or something as reward? :P
And hey! It worked!! You are back to 10 again!!! I am so happy for you!!! ;-)

I tried to read between the lines here and I think I know where you are coming from. I've been waiting for mine to drop as it seems I have some followers and I am sure they are just waiting for me to mess up. It will probably happen after this reply.lol. But no worries here either.I personally think the star and the whole rating thing should be done away with.

I really don't know what happened in your case. But I am guessing that you probably sided with someone that a certain group of people here don't like. I have been avoiding this place lately as there has been alot of hatred and mistrust flying around here.

I have seen this happen to so many people who just didn't deserve it and I can't understand why it happened to you. I am also going to do as our friend the wise wizard is doing. I will also go through your discussions and give you a plus for them all and hopefully your blue star will be sparkling beside your name before to-morrow.

Well I had a 10 star rating for about a week but then it went right down to a 7 but now I am climbing back up again so no worries I think that some other members or even friends probably put an minus next to our response for not agreeing but not to worry as I bet you will surely make it up again and have your 10 star rating again.

I thought I was in a state that must have really upset you too. I'm still very unclear as to how it all works really.

Grandmaof2, I'm so sorry this has happened to you. I have seen in recent days that many peoples stars have fallen. My star hasn't changed but my rating in my star has. I think that it may have something to do with the discussions that are being deleted. I have noticed in recent days that many discussions are being deleted, and couldn't figure out why until last night when I ran across this link in a response. I will do as lordwarwizard and alexandria and go to your previous discussions that I haven't yet rated and hope this will help to get your star back up where it belongs. :)

additional discussions to stay away from starting and responding to. Hope this helps some. :)

It's mostly due to deleted discussions that may have violated some of myLots guidelines. My rating only went down 1 point from 99/100 to 98/100 so it's not all that bad. If a member responded to or started a discussion that mylot felt wasn't within it's guidelines those members lose points, rating numbers as well as earnings due to this. I feel that this MLPD is not such a good thing as since the day I first heard of them seeking out offenders that a LOT of members have started to lose points, earnings, ratings etc. Just an observation I've noticed. I didn't see many posts prior to hearing of the MLPD. Anyhow don't worry about it I say. Just keep plugging away.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!

I know how disappointed you are and you want to lash out but honestly I don't think it's anything any one person has done.
I'm not sure how this site works without them archiving some of the older posts and discussions. Keeping all those "alive" must require a huge data bank or whatever they store stuff in/on. I'm sure they must give it a shake and change something every now and then like compacting or something and when they do that there must be some sort of give and that's when peoples ratings must change. We'll all eventually get a turn at it then things will stabilise again until the next time. It must be too complicated for them to explain it to us but I'm sure some computer guru would be able to give us a simple explanation.
Hugs to you. You'll be back to the top in a lil bit.

In my opinion I think Most people really don't know how this all works, but I can't stress myself any further over it. I do have my blue star back and now I need to work on my rating. Take Care

You got your blue star back. I don't understand the things about the 98/100 thing but, it will come around like everyone else said. Is there a significance about this? Is it with the rating thing? Unless I find the discussion offensive or just completely worthless I give it a +.

Mine too. I didn't think I would be so effected by it but I was. I went from a 10 to 9. At 9 I was at 94/100 then it went to 91/100 and I don't want to look at it again in case it's lower. I got paranoid and wondered whether someone had a vendetta and was rating negatives against my posts.
Isn't it awful to think you are not liked. And I too thought I was being responsible!

Well excately I was thinking it was something I did wrong and if it is I was hoping some of my myLot friends would be honest and just flat out tell me, so I'd know what to NOT do, but apparently it happened due to my being rated by others, that was the explanation I got from myLot but I'm not clear as to why I'd get bad rating ???

YOu will get a star when you reach 100 posts. That is your current myLot reputation. I don't think that it really influences how much you earn, (though I could be wrong) but it does reflect what other mylotters think of. However, myLot seems to be having som sort of glich lately so it may not be terribly accurate. For example -- who in their righ mind would give Grandmaof2 a negative or abusive rating?!

Well, I just signed in and saw your post and I have to say that I am not pleased to see this! I am following you aforementioned friends excellent example and heading straight to your discusssions. Don't know how much good I'm going to do as I think I have already rated most of them but off I go anyway!! ( oh, and congrats on that other number I see beside your name! ;-) )

I went from a 99 to a 94 overnight a little while back, and I think it was from someone doing the opposite of what LWW did for you... I think that someone went to all my discussions and marked "-" just because he could. Today I turned on mylot, looked at my points number and after my first post I lost 3. None of my recent posts had been removed, so still not sure how I could lose those 3 points (1143 down to 1140)
