Falling Stars....

The stars are all based on how others rate you. Do you see the little + and - sign to the right? You use those to rate a persons post. I believe starts are completely based on how people rate you with those two symbols! If I am wrong, please - someone correct me. The star numbers can be constantly changing because people are constantly rating your posts.

10 is better than 1.

What is happening to you is this:

If you movre your cursor over your star, you will see you have a rating of 85/100. This means you are right on the cusp between an 8 and a 9. The rating system doesn't show the full rating...an 85.6 will be a nine, while an 85.5 will be an eight. It will keep fluctuating between the two until you get to 86, and then it will stay as a 9...unless people rate you negative and take you back to 85 or lower...

mine has fluctuated during the last two days, it went from 7 to 9, down to 8 then back to 9. i started a discussion called what is your favourite sport, for some reason it was removed so i think this is why it went down.

Mine has fluctuated since I have had it. It goes up and donw like a yo yo lol. I really don't worry about it though, as I am here to have fun and not be so serious. Howerver, I do like to post quality posts, as that is how I get paid. To me the ratings aren't all that important. I feel that if mine goes up, great, and if it doesn't then fine. You can't please some no matter how good your posts are, so I really don't try. I have received just a few best responses though and that was totally unexpected. I think the best response can help your rating as well. God luck to you and happy mylotting.
