This is just so sad. =( I've only got a 2 rating. To all the veteran Mylot users, how do you get a higher rating?

I'm not a veteran yet. I'm still learning, but happily I have started with a good star and it even become blue the day after. I think the key is to post quality discussions. To respond to quality posts too. Avoid the one or two liner posts as cited by mylot. Follow the mylot guidelines and rules. And don't forget to rate all your discussions and others. Get to know your friends, view profiles and if you have a good choice of supportive members the rest is history. Happy Posting! Happy earning!(^^,)

It's likely more of your posts have been downvoted than upvoted. My friend found when she started posting here that getting into arguments with people (even if she was right) causes more downvotes than just engaging in "casual" conversation; if you take an unpopular position (even if you're right), people will downvote you when they disagree with you. Don't walk into any discussion here about philosophical topics if you want to suggest a different idea than the "clique" running the discussion believes is correct. You'll just get downvoted back to the stone age. Start posting good discussions about "happy" topics -- favorite bands, favorite foods, etc. Start replying to silly topics. You'll eventually get more upvotes.

That's actually good advice will. But, I don't think that I'll take it. If I have to post something that I'm not really interested in, then what's the point? Its just like saying something for the sake of saying it. But, If I go on like this, I guess I'll just have to suck it in and become, ugh, "plastic".

Hello. You need not feel sad over your rating status. All you need do is work harder at quality postings. You still have a lot of postings ahead that will fetch you higher ratings. Happy myLotting!

I have no rating. I guess I am just to new. I guess I have to start to be a blabber mouth. LOL

You are lucky I do not even have a rating at all. So feel lucky you are up the ladder from me. I guess if you fall I will be down hill to soften your landing. LOL

Don't worry about the rating merced. You'll have one once you reach 100 posts. And I bet it's going to be better than a 2.

Ei, nice to see your rating climb to a 5 now. The advice here must really work. I guess I'll try some of those now.

I'm sorry to see that but maybe you need to post more quality discussions. Try to maintain 3 or more sentences. Check your grammer as well. This may build up your ratings. Good luck.
