When the Stars Starts to Fall... What Should We Do?

I would look over the responses and discussion from yesterday.

Did you give any irrelevant answers? Did you give any off topic discussions? Did you violate any of the myLot guidelines?

All of those things can cause people to rate you poorly. It is possible to lose rank that quickly. But that also means it is possible to gain your rank back quickly!

I would keep posting with good, detailed responses and good, relevant discussions. That way people should start to give you positive ratings again.

In the FAQ it states: myLot has taken precautions to significantly minimize the impact of rogue users harming your myLot reputation by repeatedly rating you negatively. In fact, this kind of behavior will only harm the user who does the inappropriate negative rating. To be clear, it is impossible for one rogue user to significantly damage the myLot reputation of another user.
That means there must have been something that you did that a lot of people found inappropriate.

I wouldnt be too worried about it. You can get your rank back. Just keep at!

Hello friend. Well, many had rated you negative and that was a big loss in your reputation. Maybe you had posted an opinion that many do not agree with you. According to guidelines, even the user do not agree with the post as long as it is related to topic, rate it positive. But in fact, many users do not follow this and just give negative rating when they found a response in which they did not agree with.
Don't worry, you can still recover your reputation. I started on that brown star when I reached 100 posts. Just keep on posting quality discussions and responses. And you may avoid those discussions in which all of us have different beliefs and opinions like politics and religion. I don't know why some do not respect other's opinion and just give a negative rating.
Happy mylotting and have a nice day!

It also happened to me once. I posted a discussion related to this topic also and most of the responses I received told me that maybe I posted responses which irritated other members. So that's it!

Why do I care if my star falls down so as long as I am being myself and expressed my own views and opinions?what I am pointing out is that we are free to express whatever ideas we have, so what if other people won't like it.

They said that when others rate you negative it causes sometimes to fall your stars down. Don't worry about it, let it be if that is so. Just be honest with your opinion never mind if it suited or not with others.

When I noticed that my stars down before, I just shrugged it off and continued with my activities here in my lot.

I never really worry abou tmy rating as I can't please everyone anyway. I don't even try. Mine has gone up and down a few times, but not as much as yours did. I have had negative ratings, and also positive ratings. I like being here no matter what, and I feel that if someone gives me a nagative rating, that I probably deserved it. I do the best I can, but for some it isn't enough, but ou know, not a biggy anyway. I come in here to have fun and not be a stick in the muc lol. If I worried about my ratings, I would be shedding lots of tears that is for sure. It just isn't all that important, because I know that I can and would recover from it anyway, and I have done that a few times. I can't get much higher than what I am now, but it isn't for lack of trying. I am just not going to worry and just continue to do my best, and take whatever comes. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Hi I'm new here and I this is the first time a heard that stars may fall too.
I already imagined having a star but it didn't crossed my mind that I could possible get negative reputation that might lead to falling star.
I guess that advices here for you is enough. If you are going to ask me, it's better to ask and understand what happened than to be contented and be blinded what's the reason behind it. At least if you know at the end of it, you will learn and if ever you committed a mistake, you will never do it again.:)

I find in next to impossible that your star fell from an 8 or 9 to a 3 in the course of a day or two without someone deliberately targeting you. I would be contacting myLot and complaining looking for an explanation and an assurance that you have not been the target of some malicious user or group. There are trolls around here that seem to have nothing better to do than drag others down to their level.

Nobody can tell you what happened other than the administration, and nobody can fix it other than the administration. I would not leave this too long either, as the trolls might be doing this to others.

If it went down that fast maybe you pissed some people off. Though I could always be wrong.

Do you happen to go into discussions that get heated, like debates, religion, abortion, and the like? When you respond to discussions (as well as start your own) are you polite or do you let words fly? Sorry, I haven't followed any of your discussions or responses, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

I'm only asking these questions because I've seen others reputations go down before (though never this quickly) and it is usually due to at least one of the things I mentioned.

What should you do? I'm not exactly sure, but I don't think contacting mylot will help.

Best of luck in getting your star back up.

hiya eichs

I am so sorry to see that your rating has dropped so dramatically! It only goes to prove that there is deliberate and wrongful targetting in the Lot and I hope that myLot will have the means to see that you have been deliberately targetted.. you ought to report it!I admire your resilience in dealing with this matter and you have my support and sympathy. I have no idea what discussions you have been in but it's clear that you have upset someone in some way but they are using the rating system to get back at you. I hope you manage to find out who it is... and why!

That was a big drop. Maybe myLot did an audit.

I experienced a drop from Level 4 to Level 1 in one of the Interests' ranking. I am not sure whethe it was due to an audit, an attack from a group of dissatisfied members, or a combination of two or more factors. It just happened that someone was possibly mad at me. I was accused of not reading discussions before responding to them. This person even mentioned it in a response to another discussion. My response to the same discussion could have guther irked this person. It was not long after that the drop happened. Was it a coincidence? I do not know. Did I care? It did affect my mind for at least one day because I did not know the real reason(s).

I had a quick look at yout activities on your profile page and it seems that you did make postings to 'grey' discussions and started discussions which are against the Guidelines. An example is on the amount paid to you. Another example is poll type - either this or that. So I think these are among the things which you should avoid.

Forgive me if you feel insulted because that was not the intention. You asked so I tried my best to clear the air. Sorry if I failed.

all the best,
