I received a 9 rating when i reached my 100th post. At 120 my rating became 10. At 238 it went down to 8 and now it is back to 10. I am wondering how the rating system in mylot work. Any suggestions as to what it takes to earn a 10 and retain it too.

I started of with the rating of 8 and then when i reached my 10 star rating, it never came down. Well its basically the rating the people do over here. If they '+' your response or your topic then it improves your ratings. Moreover the replies or responses we make are kept on deleted after some time from the mylot servers. At that time your rating also get effected. I know only this much as told by other users. Rest, am not sure about it.

Hello,lovelydame3000,it is normal to habe fluctuations in rating,it depends on how other memebrs rate you,if they rate you positive,your rating will be increased,no one can guarantee how to get and keep a blue star,but the key is to keep a good quality discussions and replies. They should not be one liners in order to be of good quality. Good luck.

Yeah,that is why you have a blue sta right now.But I think we should put more concern on discussions rather than the rating.

Well congratulations lovelydame for earning star rating of 10 and then when it went down to get it back to 10 again. Well for my opinion i always have had 9 star rating yet to get to 10 till now. So going by my mylot friends who have 10 star ratings i can say that you should post good quality replies more often, then post few discussions of your own which i have failed to do for sometime now. then add comments and tags to your discussions, and rate all the responses to to your discussions. And be nice and friendly to fellow mylotians it all goes a long way to enhance one's reputation in mylot.

Hi banta78! I fully agree with you. My reputation had fallen from 99 to 98 and then to 96 and now it's 97. Thanks for your suggestions and response to my discussion.

Hi ESKARENAI! Thanks for your response. I would like to say to you that "You should never lose hope". Evenif you have'nt so far, you still can get a 10 star. Thanks for your suggestion too. I will keep that in mind.

I think I've got a 6 star rating when I have 200 posts.When I reached around 270,it dropped to 5,but now it get back to 6 stars.I really don't know how this system works!But I think this system depends how you respond those question,your contribution to mylot community and also how people rates you.I think it should be a very complicated calculation!It is hard to find it out!

It's based on the plus and minus given to you by other users. That's all. To keep your 10, just keep posting quality posts - hopefully other users will rate you positively. That's about all you can do.

Hi lordwizard! I think you are right. There is nothing one can do here on hope to keep a 10 except quality posts. Thanks for your response.

Wow you went back to 10? I didn't think that was possible, it seems that every one is stuck on 9... I just dropped to 8, I have no idea why. I don't think anyone relaly understand how the system work.

Hi Phlamingho! Not to worry. The more you think the more confused you would be. I have stopped worrying about it as of now. Thanks for your response.

I think the main thing with getting and keeping any rating is to never post your opinion, I once posted an opinion and I went down from and 8 to a 4 over night, it took me a while to get back up to the 8 and Ive been tryin hard to get to a 10 but in some sense I must still annoy people as my rating /100 keeps going down :( but tbh my rating doesnt really bother me anymore, I know that if people - rate me cuz I gave my honest opinion they are only looking for validation to their own opinion on here and are not really bothered about what others have to say, just here for the money! Congrats on getting to a 10 though, it has become so much harder to get good ratings here on mylot. Enjoy your time here!

Hi makingpots! It is not a great deal to reach a 10. But the hardest job is to retain it. Thanks for your opinion.

These ratings are a percentage. So you are affected much more, you who only has a couple of hundreds of posts, than a mylotter who has thousands and thousands of posts by a couple of negative ratings. A couple of negative ratings can pull you down quite a bit. Then when you get lots of positive ratings again your star goes up again. People who have many posts are more stable they do not go up or down fast. So do not worry too much, post more and everything will be fine!
