What if people don't rate your posts or your replies? email this discussion to a friend?

I'm new and noticed that building up earnings seems to be tied to how people rate your discussion and your replies to discussions. If that's true, what if people just decide not to rate a post, even if they liked it?
I tend to write longer responses in full thoughts (like two paragraphs if it's a topic that rings with me). I do it for the poster's benefit, but when it comes down to earnings alone, is a longer WELL-SAID post, that somebody doesn't bother to rate and better than a on-liner that somebody gives a + to? Just wondering.
I've given up any notion of getting paid on this; I just like the interaction. Just curious how this works.

I really don't pay any attention to the ratings on MyLot, or to the numbers on people's stars, if they have them. If I want to comment on something, I'll comment, and if I don't, I won't. I do, however, know that giving positive ratings will earn you a bit more money, so I try to give positive ratings to every comment and every response and every discussion, unless i have a major problem reading the discussion, it's posted in the wrong topic, or there is some sort of abuse involved.

Thanks! So I'm taking it that's where the "quality" about posts comes in. Did I see somewhere that "length" of a reply is a factor as well? Granted, you can have 4 paragraphs of utter crap; just wondering how that is taken into account.

I do not think the star rating is affecting the income much. It seems more like a penny per post to me. Unless you maybe have a discussion that is a top rated discussion with many answers. If I look at the numbers of posts and the pics that I have uploaded it is a penny a post.

Sounds like I better come up with REALLY quality stuff that grabs people...or I'll need 1,000 posts to get paid! That's why I said I switched to doing this for the joy of it rather than a payout. I'm not holding my breath on seeing money any time, ohhh, this season.

Thanks for the input!

Actually you can get more than a penny a post. I had made a dollar twenty this morning for like fifty-three posts total. My posts tend to be rather long and filled with my thoughts and such though so I figure that matters somehow.

Hello,
It staggers me to think how long it will take me to make 53 posts in one day like silvernutbar. I take my hat off to you, it like takes me forever to type, I have a new keyboard and its a trick thing!

I don't care it and I don't know if they give me a good or bad rate.
I come here and read and reply, I think it is important to show our opinions, no matter this is good or bad, I will show.
if people give bad rate, I have nothing to do about that.
I am serious to every post, but if people still give bad rate, I think no way to settle it.

It just depends on who it is that you reply to as to if they plus it or not. Some people just don't bother to rate them at all, not that you would ever know who rated you, etc. If they rate it + or don't rate it at all, it can't hurt you, because not rating it is better than a -. You're star will drop faster than it will rise, so you could have a one liner or two paragraphs, but it depends on who the person is to if they rate it or not. You shouldn't get negative rated if you don't go cussing somebody out or something lol. Although, there are the select few that like to - rate you if you don't agree with their discussion. Just goes to show how immature some people are.

i don't know there is a relation between ratings and your earnings,i think ratings are only related to your reputation,like a star on the left corner,but i am not sure now when i saw your post.
actually,i will give mylotters who respond to my topic a "+" as long as they follow the guideline of mylot,every time,sometimes i will forget to do that when i am very busy responding to their responses,but,i will do it in three days,i think it's a respect to other people who take time to respond to my discussion.
