What has happened to our reputations?

So the low ones are low and the high ones are low. It must have been a pretty big campaign.

maybe a troll virus that gets past any AV check ....

i guess the super trolls are here!

Must have been a mass hiring program of trolls over night?



HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Normally we could spot the trolls as they always have such lowly rankings but now they can hide more easily.

BTW jb, I just accepted your friend request the other day. I am surprised that you weren't already my friend, I must be losing it. No jokes myklj!

same here - there are a few i could have sworn were already on the list.

That's a very interesting theory; I do wonder too..

my star rank is changed from 6 star to 8 star.
but before this my rank is 9 star.

Mys, speechless I see. And the avatar changed in protest I presume. Is it everyone. I looked through my Swedish one as know it was pretty much full of high coloured flags but it is now all pink or white.

No sign of protest on my part Thea. It's not in my nature to protest until I know the reason behind what has happened. Then I might... or might not. It would depend on the motivations which I hope we will have eventually.

I have just become a pea in a pod (which was better than a cucumber IMO)

I didn't enlarge you Mys and presumed you were a caterpillar.

hi mysdianait, I preferred the previous avatar.:( This one is truly looking like a caterpillar.:) I can understand me being punished, because I tend to be argumentative, but I cant understand u and thea being punished! May be u 2 need to avoid my company ha ha.

sorry vandana, won't be avoiding you. Might even start a bit of

A caterpillar as in 'worm' Thea?

Or as in 'centipede'?

Please don't mention those, I had 2 small ones indoors in the space of a week and they are scarey as if they can get away they can come out at anytime and attack. Have you ever noticed the way they move, they can't move straight, it's a whole body wiggle.

I have noticed that they are extremely intelligent -
they don't waste money on shoes!

good response mysdianait leaving the comment field blank.

It is also very difficult to kill them with a shoe.

Back to normal I see MysD I had to put on a blue frock today to celebrate, I'll change back to my bikini tomorrow
oh and ...Good morning!

Good morning lass! xxx

Hey don't put on anything too skimpy! We are going towards winter now and you don't want catch a chill now do you?

ok thea... this shoudl give you a notifier that you have a NEW RESPONSE but in actual fact it will be me adding a comment to someone else's response .. i hope it works for you or I really am going mad!

Oh why? I went from 97 to 65, same drop, the reds have gone to 7's as far as I can see.

I was a 9...red...

I thought you were a 10. Either way it is not amusing and it can hardly be called a level playing field to make us work hard as Mys suggests.

Thea they have not all gone down in the same proportions.

.. and how come you did not notice that Lamb was no longer blue for a while before this drop?

I know they haven't gone down the same, the men who were red are in most cases now silver. I think Lamby moves between red and blue a lot, and don't notice everyones colours every day.

It's everybody, I am going down and giving everybody here positives to see if it does any good.

I was a 9 and am now down to a 6 which quite frankly annoys me..I'm thinking htough that maybe it IS a glitch..I hope so and hope they fix it becuase this is just one more thing that is slowly but surely killing this site..

You've always had a bad reputation hon, and you've only dropped one flag.

Who is Joan Jett?

I actually dropped two. LOL This is my first post in weeks, I only came here because someone on facebook mentioned the weirdness going on here today.

I had been a steady six for a few months. Oh well, I didn't like the pink star anyway, I am more comfortable with green, but purple will do nicely.

Joan Jett is an American Rock musician who has a song that says "I don't give a damn about my bad reputation!"

Didn't Joan Jett sing 'I love Rock and Roll' she's from the 80s isn't she?

Yes, Wolfie, you are corect.

I know the song 'I love rock n roll' but had no idea who sang it..and don't know the one you mention here kitty

Maybe they want us to start on a level playing field. I just got in and was alerted to it by Rabbit but has it only just happened?

Earlier today I was at 98, and star 10 as yesterday. I only came back on ten minutes ago, and noticed the change, and the number of complaining posts (this is going to be subject of the day).

It looks like a glitch, or maybe they thought some of us were doing too well and needed incentive to start again at a lower level.

I don't need an incentive and steam comes out of my ears when I drop one point with pretty obvious negging. Maybe it's to save money.

Hi Shirley, yes as soon as Rabbit pm'd I went into that Sweden one, it appears that the men got preferential and went to 7 while the ladies all went pink, a colour I'm not too fond of.

It's a huge drop which we must all work on recitifying at once. We can't all have been trolled at once. 4.13, you get worse. It's almost 2.

With my very own eyes...I watched us getting pinked...and whited out! Gotta be a glitch! Yup...I would sooner be any color (almost) than pink! Olive Greeen is even better! HUGZ

I ain't no lady and I went pink!

To be honest the only blue I want to see is a lovely blue belt but I've a got a few years to go before I get that grade at self defence LOL!

I don't give a damn about stars anyhow, they should scrap the system totally because it only gives trolls the ammo to throw at people!!!!

Well I have to say that they are a bit of a joke. I was 98 for ages, told someone off and got negged down to 97 very obviously, then had 4 highest rated discussions in under a fortnight and it never shifted back up. Yet I've seen dull as ditchwater 100's out there.

I am tooooo easy to confuse...too many POWER OUTS...now I am short-circuiting..What I CAN'T figure out is WHY "TENS" went to "PINK SIXES" and "NINES" went to "WHITE 7'S"? And then there is "wolfie" that got "pinked"...and he always posts/responds intelligently/non-confrontational! NO rhyme or reason here...NOT EVEN A GENDER BENDER!!!

Sure am intrigued, tho....can't wait to see what unfolds with this one! Cheers, gang.

I think it is another example of rudeness that yet again no explanation is forthcoming. All rather off putting too.

Speaking of off-putting....I got on here early this a.m. with another mission in mind...and that was to wish a peaceful & thoughtful day, to all of myLot friends that are recognizing Remembrance Day, today! (I know you aren't, thea)..but it is recognized in the US/Uk and Canada! A time for thankfulness & recognition of our enlisted. Cheers!

Yes, we knew it as poppy day but no poppies over here Shirley.

You always appear to be up obscenely early. 7am is quite early enough for me and I'm turning in now as failing to hear the alarm clocks as rebellion against the cold weather, then I wake late and its too late for the school bus and I have to go out in the cold car instead. Goodnight.

I thought I should warn you Shirley that the advert you despise which flashes and says you have won has just spoken to me.

Ah...the Flashy..Verbal advert! I truly think that those things shud be banned! May not seem obnoxious to some...but to me, a precursor to a heart attack!

Imagine the setting, I live very rurally....quiet surrounds me..it's 2:30 a.m., on the first cup of coffee...not awake yet...and a voice starts speaking to me! REALLY NOT FUNNY! Hope you weren't undone as much as I was! HUGZ!

8-5. it matches my nail varnish though.

So it looks like a 30 + drop for most. How come some 9's only went to 7?

Hi muscles, oops didn't notice any, just got back in and saw the drop and as usual just started one. I've seen a few going up since about how it will make us work harder, I just find it demoralising if it was meant to happen.

I still think its a fluke and I bet it will be fixed by Friday. I doubt if it will effect our earnins but I could be wrong.

I hope you are right but if it is I'd put next week down before it recovers, rather than Friday.

Hi padhiranand, no it's everyone, I went through one of my discussions to check and every single red and blue had vanished, but quite a few 9's went down to 7's.

anyone find the reason...what going on here..hope they will not reduce the earnings..

So far no one has been kind enough to inform us, and we will no doubt discover tomorrow about earnings.

Hi kush, you mean decreased the level I presume. Surely it would have been more sensible to take everyones away than to reduce to different amounts like this. They haven't given us the all the same colour or drop after all. Could me to save on payouts.

no they have reduced colors on the basis of activity
i think this they would have done so that people could understand what a star means
tell me if you are already 10 star how will you progress
you wont starve for higher ranking
this means that when u have reached a certain height the bar is increased so that more can be extracted out of you
and one more thing
those who have high ranking would have worked hard more
so they expected us to be back with flying colors and those who had low reputation had nothing to loose hope now you may be able to understand it

Ah, but when I was blue I worked to achieve it and didn't become complacent. And at blue my aim was the score not the colour and no matter what it never became 100. My understanding was always that if you hold some negatives on file this will never be achieved.
Your theory doesn't explain the differences shown today though with the number of points in a drop being variable.

you might think this as unfair but i see this fair

I'm afraid they can't get blood out of a turnip, I can only work when I'm healthy.

You may see this as fair but it would have been more fair to to remove all stars and have us all begin from scratch.

tell me if you enjoy mylotting then it might not be a big deal for you i think it seems to you like a tsk so you are worried
you must enjoy mylotting reputation come and go by

kush, you don't have a clue.

There are several of us that are here every day posting quality material, and all of our stars have dropped.

Your star also affects what you are paid here.

I, for one, will no longer be here if I am now going to be paid 40% less than what I earned before...

You really don't have a clue do you Kush. Some of us achieved our reputations by following guidelines, responding to every response and creating original discussions. Last week I had a discussion with 125 responses and each one was responded to, I didn't get bored and leave it. But the reputation was earned and not given so why should it be taken away? Some of us value our reputations so please don't tar us all with the same brush.

@well said Lamby, I don't expect that we'll know until tomorrow about the effect on earnings but if it isn't a system glitch then I would presume that is the reason behind it, which would then appear to be a breach of the guidelines we need to follow.

i feel for your feelings as i have also gone from 8 to 5 maybe this is not cool tell we should find a discussion out f it rather then dropping me down into the way and not supporting me
what to do we should discuss not fight my friend

one more thing this discussion has also been pronged coz f our fight

Well I don't fight but do believe that some of the blues were well earned and not everyone should be hit in the same way. It would appear to be a breach of the guidelines we are meant to follow. It would have been easier for them to introduce a star 11 if we followed your idea.

Believe me the majority of my discussions become prolonged with witty interactions, I don't aim for high responses but quality discussions like the country with the unknown cuisine, that kind of discussion is just plain fun and everyone has a good time.

i agree man you are valid

This is the oddest response I have seen yet. This is indeed a glitch, I would even BET on it. Mylot is known for being consistent, and they are consistent in all ways, from payouts to format to content to... glitches. Yep, regularly there are issues for admin to fix and that happens consistently, without fail.

You haven't been here very long (based on your post count in parenthesis) so for you to come up with this idea, I suppose I commend you for your creativity. Those of us who have been members a long time though know it for what it is, about number 485867 in the glitch pool.

but tell me mommyboo even if i am new to this community and i dont know whats happening here i still want to tel u d fact i have resisted such whole long discussion on only a single fact that i dnt like reputation i like enjoying my posting
i like expressing myself
whatever you think about me
but i think you shouldnt make a partition with the no of posts as post matters not the number rest depends on you whatever you think u can its your own mind

Well you are right there Kush regarding number of posts. If one has a few good discussions up and keeps them active then post count will not increase at all as they don't within ones own discussions. But there are a lot here and they tend to be newish members who don't bother reading the guidelines who start repeated discussions to increase their post number but then don't bother to deal with them and as has been said so often no one likes responding to a brick wall.
