I was rated 7 stars 3 days before but now it has fallen to 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently you got several negative responses. That'll drop your star rating quick. Its even harder to pull it back up again.

it really looks to be a subjective assessment to me. Im no longer sure what is causing these dramatic drops in reputation , it seems to be happening to a few people. Either mylot have brought in even more changes in the way they organise things, and of course not bothering telling us, or there is another glitch IN THE SYSTEM. I think mylot has been odd the last couple of days. Its been very quiet but, over and above all of this, I lost 30 posting points yesterday, no explanation of course, they just disappeared. As a result, my earnings for the last day here were 3 cents. Its funny in a strange way, at least i can smile at the idiosyncracies of this wonderful site blessed be

Sounds like you ran afoul of the Mylot nazis. There is a group of people on here who try to get people removed because you don't agree with their views on certain subjects. All it means is that YOU have a mind of your own and don'tfollow the fundamentalist christian views they do Relax, it really means nothing Wear your 4 with pride. knowing you are among a select few who really pisses those sanctimoneus snots off

I think its not about how many postings one have made in 3 days and how long it is. It may be about the quality of one's response, if one's response fits to the discussion or the sincerety of the answer. Thats my own opinion.

I think it's not the quantity of what you said that matters and quality is what makes other rate you up or down. So if they see a good quality post pertinent to the discussion, they rate you up if not you go down!
