mylot reputation...

There is no way to know who rates what or how they rate it. I know that we can only rate each user 11 times in a 24 hour period and that new users canoot rate until at least, maybe more, until they reach 100. I also think that users with a higher number of posts need more plusses to make them go up. I am also very aware that when I tumbled exactly a year ago it was thanks to several users but a huge amount of others trying to push me back up is taking a long time to show any results. They send me PMs asking me why it takes a couple of months to see mine shift but I cannot give them a response because I have no idea and not found anything anywhere to explain it I see many Lotters who do not deserve the star that they are burdened with but nothing seems to make it budge

no they wont tell you. they figure people will retailate but unfortunately like all honor systems it gets abused from time to time.. it doesnt have much to do with time here (after you start getting stars i mean.. you hae to have X amount of points before you get one so that would be an exception) but more like they have been more active (point amount) therefore may have pissed people off more (unintentionally or intentionally) or been around for the trolls that attack every now and then to have struck them a few times.. sure it bugs ya but you have to just ignore and try to get it back but its hard once its gone to get it back up again.. i have found that if you stay away from the religion area or topics you seem to not run into as many trolls or just people that dont agree and therefore are rude enough to rate badly based upon you not agreeing.. i personally rarely rate anyone badly and if i do it was if some one was verbally attacking another person or leaves like 1 or 2 words as a reply or spam.. but i dont know if its my lack of activity on here or what but i havent seen much of any of that lately.. maybe im lucky

so far, i don't see any feature that would allow us to check which of our posts got negative ratings. i don't rate a discussion at all if i'm not gonna rate it positive. i rarely give a negative rating to anyone. because that won't be helpful at all. it's highly possible that some mylotters i think do not appreciate being responded back with a differing opinion. or some don't like straightforward answers that sometimes come out too strong for their taste. mylot has such a mix of different people trying to co-exist in one site. hehe i have seen old-timers also with an 8 and 9 star rating. i actually admire these people who have lasted that long in mylot and encountered probably a thousand discussions in similar topics almost everyday. yet they patiently try to explain some features in mylot to newbies and to think all of us started as newbies once. hehe

i don't think there is a way to find out who rated us, positively or negatively. i think i saw this thing in the guideline or the faq.

I don't think I would want to know who rated my response negative. I just post what I feel and think getting rated is a great way to tell if you are making sense and how people really feel about you. If it was not anonymous, people probably wouldn't feel as free to rate.

maybe some of people here in mylot gives a negative rate for the others opinion , but i don't have an idea who's rated our comments . response , or oppinion , but anyway just read it and rate it your self.

I wish there was. I wish there was some accountablity because the mylot rep system is fairly easy to abuse and seems to effect payment as well.

Hi ybong, I don't know the answer, but my reputation has gom ne down from time to time, once dramatically, and recently from 99 to 98. I don't know the reason, but it doesn't bother me.

no ybong007 mylot admins says in the guidelines if you bother to read them that there is no way to know who rated us negative or positive because this would cause a lot of ill will. there will be a few who do not read the information and do what they are told not to do, rate us negative just because they did not agree with our opinion,not because our discussion was bad at all.mylot admins says no do not rate anyone neg simply because you do not agree with them,we are all suppose to rate neg only if something is inane or is flaming or insulting. I was minused when I first got here bytwo trolls who spent all one night minusing every thing I had posted, I complained, mylot admins caught them and threw them out on their ears, but I had to work to get back to a nine and I had started out with a ten. no we cannot find out who rated us positive or negative as mylot admins worrys that it might cause people to get really mad at each other.

I had plan before to make a discussion just like yours before last month when I see my reputation keep dropping continually when i become active to post discussion every week and have my discussion both landed in today and hot, some included in the mylot digest. I notice that for the last 2 week of November till last month my reputation, would you believe whenever I post a new discussion instead of rising my reputation is down by 2 points or 1 point and even my friends have notice it too. i am blue at 97 before then down continually until I become yellow with 84. Just this week it increase by 1 point to 85 by the next day I log in not just before the 24 hours after it change again to 84 then back to 85 then again to 84 which very puzzling, the more active one become the more down her reputation is,which is so disturbing. It so happen that i see friend who become freak of this reputation that they do discussion like yours but in myself I keep quiet because some friends warn that if I get conscious over it the more someone would rate you down, Then, some suggest that I stop posting discussion which i did last month and yet my reputation continue decreasing despite I am not rude and still polite to anyone even avoiding those interest which provokes hatred. their are something which I suspect are trolling my discussion. I think if you been rated 11 times in a day the next day your reputation would be down by i point and by the way to increase your reputation need a lot of positive rating but to my observation if someone hate you then rated you everyday 11 times just like what happen to me last week of November my reputation is down so fast by 13 points drop in a matter of weeks!! despite of this it would not stop me for making a discussion as when one never stop making discussion it lower earning and so true the star have an effect in earning as I observe i have blue before it only take me more than 20 long post and I could earn nearly more than a cent per day but now it reduce to almost 50% which is very unfair to think that the more active you become the more the reputation lower!

No, myLot doesn't let people know who rates you but that could really be helpful. It's just another mystery. . . Because we don't know who rates who, we can't ever say that anyone negatively rates just because of a disagreement. You can only guess by the way they are talking (typing). Personally I only use the negative rating for a short or irrelevant post, and I almost always give the plus rating especially during an argument. If the argument has been helpful then I will definitely give a positive rating.

Hi ybong I don't believe they let you know that info. I think I read that in the terms somewhere. I'd like to know as well and I'm sure so would most..Oh well..

Here are many people joined the mylot.. and make a reputation here they nee more time.. because when they reached their highest rating around 10 then they will more experienced person of mylot.. i have also 7 rating in present time.. and day by day it may improve.. thanking you..keep mylotting..

I can't tell. But for me, it is good to hear what you want but it is better to have responses who are honest enough. It is also alright to give negative responses as long as you know how to deliver it not offensive.

There is no way we can know who is rating us negative. You are right though, that if you don't agree with someone on an issue, they will rate you negative, and to me that is so shallow. I certainly don't agree with all users, but I won't rat them negative for disagreeing with me. Mylot says we arn't to do that, but it does happen. Mine dropped 8 points in one day, and I have never worried about it, but on the same hand it isn't right either. I will rate all positive in spite of me getting negatives. The ones that rate negative, don't understand that they are hurting themselves, as well. They just have a lot of growing up to do is all. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
