Mylot Star. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 72/100. rameshkumaar57 (1417)   ranked 3,780 out of 32,322 in mylot.com5 months ago

Hi friends, when I reached 100 posts I was given a 5 star rating, and this increased to a 6 star within extra 40 posts, then suddenly I was given negative points when I participated in the Religion forum and it came back to 5 star. Later, I do not remember when, but it was once again raised to a 6star and that is where it stays in spite of getting numerous best answer rating. Why is it so? When will be my rating upgraded? Any tips on how to increase my rating? Your valuable help is needed.

The only way I have seen to keep your star rating at a higher level is to stay out of any discussions dealing with religion or politics. This appears to be where many of those who rate people negatively like to hang out.


myLot reputation of 72/100. rameshkumaar57 (1417)   ranked 3,780 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  5 months ago

You are absolutely right, my rating went down, when I had a heated discussion on religion. Dont you think this is absurd. If some one does not agree with others views, they must not give negative points. I have never given negative points to others, even if they wrote against my views. Well that is the way the world operates.

I'm glad that you don't rate them with a negative. I don't either. They are allowed to their opinions and we are too.

Its because people want their opinion not to be challenged so they can raise above the rest. Its a pretty strait forward thing...they want to be right and down with anyone that challenges that. so instead of taking opinions that people post they neg rate them and then attack them...in some cases heartlessly to make them feel like their opinion doesn't matter and that they should just be quiet unless they have something to say that supports what they want to hear. Yeah...i stay away from those discussions now as they don't want to really have a discussion more then a pride boost

I have to agree here. I have decided to stay out of any "touchy" topics as I like to call them, because people get so heated, and down right mean. I haven't even paid attention to my star I guess I should. I was in a "heated" discussion the other day and said a few things someone didn't agree with so it wouldn't surprise me if I got a negative rating because of that. Either way just because of how heated it got I decided I will no longer participate in political or religious discussions. I feel if people can't discuss things without being mean then they don't need to discuss them at all.

it so happens here at mylot is that some people rate you negative just because you differ in opinion, this mostly happens when you post on religion and politics section, if you want a nice star then better keep away from those topics like some of us do...


myLot reputation of 72/100. rameshkumaar57 (1417)   ranked 3,780 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  5 months ago

I started responding in religion, so that I can learn something. I have learnt a lot about my religion, in the last few months than I did in so many years. You win some, you loose some.

This is happening to everyone i guess. Most of their stars are going down including mine too. Some just rate negative when you disagrees which is not at all right. Well i hope you will get your star.

Well happy Mylotting.

Hi
I think it is better to avoid any discussion that might give you or risk your star rating:) The best way I think is to be active and have quality posts and giving valuable information to people as you will get rated and will have a high number in your star:) For me I would not worry about it as it will go up if you are active and try your best to avoid negative posts that you think might affect you or your points.
Happy MyLotting and Good Luck

It happens here with most of us.. happy. Try keeping you out of political and religious topics, where we do get negative ratings, if our opinion differs. Try making some good friends having similar intrests and participate mutually in the discussions. Hope your star rating goes up slowly.. Best of luck.. thumbup

I am considering myself unlucky as I was having the 6-star rating for 100 responsews and till then I have not been getting better even if I am giving good comments or good discussions.

Well there is no way to say what will create positive ratings from people. Sometimes even if you post nicely and helpfully there may be someone who doesn't like you and sometimes they follow you around to rate you down.

I think the best thing to do if you really care about your star, is to avoid controversial topics like Religion, people seem to get into heated debates about that. Religion is the only topic where I have come out with some hot headed replies.

If you don't care about your star too much my advice is just to chat, enjoy yourself, and write about what you're interested in, just don't worry about it too much.

I was a 9 but I bugged someone who was there to annoy people so they said my star will now go down, and the next day it did!


myLot reputation of 72/100. rameshkumaar57 (1417)   ranked 3,780 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  5 months ago

As you have rightly mentioned, it was because I was commenting a lot in religious forum that I have been given negative points.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Gorjess (1063)   ranked 5,670 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  5 months ago

I don't often bother with those discussions, my views don't change and it is a never ending discussion. I hate when people say discussions about proving why God exists or doesn't, it's such a pointless discussion.

When I first got my star I had a 3 and it stayed that way for a bit then went to a 4, and I had that star for ages, and I thought I would always have it, and I really didn't worry about it. I just laughed about it, but now that I realize the ratings affect our earnings, I hope that I can get mine up, but if I don't, then that is okay too, as it is a 9, and I am very happy about that. The only thing I can tell you is to just continue what you are doing, stay out of the ones that are controversial. and ou shouldn't be rated negative, however, that is no guarantee, as there can be users in any category that can rate you negative. I don't rat negative, as I think that is mean and vindictive. I rate positive so that I can help others keep their ratings up. Good luck to you and happy mylotting. happy
