What if... we all wake up now and do things properly?

Let's hope it's a glitch Lamby.

My thoughts exactly, as you well know

I sincerely hope there will be some explanation on their part. If it had appeared sooner it would/could also have avoided all the repeated topics which will also go and are causing users to waste their time responding -
and them to not have to fork out

I think mine was the first so that makes the others repeated.

You can be certain Thea by checking the number in the browser when the discussion is opne. Several of our friends are one page further back than yours... and they still keep coming which is even sadder

I was out and when I returned was alerted to it and thought it had happened instantly. It is the reputation rather than the star colour which irks me most.

I hope we don't lose you lamb, but I can understand your feelings on this situation. I keep hoping it's a glitch, but even if it's not I won't be leaving.

@MysD and thea... I hope they check the discussions properly...mine's isn't about stars falling although most of the comments have mentioned it. I guess everybody is cheesed off.

Yeah, Ditto!

I think I am just happy to be here on mylot
I know many work very hard to earn their ratings
to me tho, this just isn't a place for ratings
or like a compitision. I come to mylot for a break
and I get it here. I don't look at it as a place of
earning, I see it as a place of my friends, a place
to express myself, share my expierences, thoughts, and
opinions, and also to have the opertunity to see others
I was down and bord before I started back on myLot
after 4 years, but all you guys here expecially one
Vonmac lifted my spirits. So, even with gliches, what
more can we ask for, being paid to have friends to love
getting on here to share our thoughts??

The_Lamb_Lies_Down
Please don't leave either, you are another of the many that
has been a great inspiration to me

tandmunlimited I feel we can all understand what you are saying but at the same time, you return after four years while several of us are here for many hours every day. These continual mishaps become tedious and we have a rant when yet another occurs

I know we are lucky to have a place like myLot and indeed it will take a lot to make many of us leave. We just hope that things will be as they were once before and all will continue so that it is a pleasant place to be, rather than a place with complaints and moans due to upsets.

Can we be certain it is a glitch?

We have all gone down and all differently which leads me to think it might not be a glitch at all.

That's exactly what I said MysD... it's not the same ratio for us all, some blue 10's have dropped to both silver 7 and pink 6... unless it has something to do with the score out of 100, i had 99 so why am I a 6 now? It's baffling.

This one is not permanent my friend. It was just sort of a change to go with the topic and make a point

The lady in the response below youis silver and deservingly too

I am hoping too that we will have some communication from myLot about this. I am not concerned about the reason just as long as there is one and that we are informed about it officially.

If it has been implemented by myLot then I feel they should have given us some sort of information about it beforehand and I sincerely hope that something will be siad before too long.

You are the only silver that I am seeing Paula

If it is to shake us up a bit then fine - but I feel we should have been told. It would have avoided all the repeated topics now on the boards too

My avatar is not permanent. It just fitted in with my mood at the moment after reading for over an hour about nothing but stars and colours. I'd rather be a pea than a cucumber

That is true, diana. As for your avatar, you are more than an avatar.We all know you. But a 5 to you seems like there´s a hacker hand there.

We have ALL gone down, though not in the same proportions.

Hackers? mmmmm doubt it

...it would have to be a heck of a lot of hackers to do this much damage!

I agree Paula it was a harsh cut if it's deliberate, especially at this time of the year I'm depending on this little bit earnings to get my granddaughters Christmas presents

All is well again guys, we should have more faith in MyLot!

You will receive one when you see 100 by your username.
It is a direct result of the ratings that others give to your posts and it affects your earnings.

You can see all the information here:

Hi,
Thanks for information on the stars. Did not know I should be doing this for all my replys to people I answer there posts. I will be doing it now. Can I go back to my responses to people discussions and rate them or is to late.
Thanks for the quick reply
Have a great day
Sincerely Unique16

Until you reach 100 your rates to others wil not 'stick'. If you rate then refresh the page you will see that the box reappears.

However to answer the last part - yes you can go back and rate older posts (once you can rate obviously) and we can all rate each user 11 times in each 24 hour period.

Hello,
I did try to rate you. I will come back get you and others when I reach 100.
Thanks for all the help and I feel better that I did not miss anyone here since I can not do it. It is all good.
Thanks for the tips and helping newbies learning this site.
Have a great day
Sincerely Unique16

Happy to help as always unique!

Happy FUN Lotting!

Oh there are many pink fòlowers and that would look perfect against your pink star!

If we had all gone and responded on the first discussion about the stars dropping then we would all have earnt something. As it is now, many of us, including myself, have responded on several of them and, as they are repeats, they will be removed - just like always happens when there is a glitch.

Maybe I am wrong and it has nothing to do with them trying to give us a nudge but... who knows?

I've got a new pink dress lol...retail therapy

You have certainly lost more weight than I had assumed too

It was a shock to me too when I first saw it.

I will go back before I leave for work, I promise

That's like a good girl. Be original!

Hi D, if there is any notification from mylot please start a discussion on it so that I, in fact everyone will read that and stop worrying. Or I'll be the last one to get all the news.

I will not be starting another discussion as I will be at work later my friend but if I have any news which you might have missed I will PM so please do not worry. Have fun and don't be concerned too much about here as it MUST remain FUN!

sure, sure. It has to be fun. As I told you I won't be online till next Tuesday. A PM will do....

No...tt.....it's a sweet pea....I can swallow it anytime...so round and shiny...

Well I shall be removing it once I get home - I forgot before I left and I can't do anything about it from where I am now

NOOOOOoooo Misterwit, you won't get that pea at any cost. Though you seem to have been starving since ages!!

Oh my goodness! So this is where it happened! At least three friends have told me that you intended eating the pea Wit Well now you will have to find something else to satisfy your hunger!

Oh me..and ...my story...

Hi..gals..I am a cork...fits every where....

Oh...look at the full moon my moon...oh what a rose my rose...

and he kept on staring and lived happily ever after...

Wow Misterwit what a story

My sunshine will return - it is only partially subdued at the moment

Indeed I have never seen the Lot so busy at this particular time of day for a long, long time. Just goes to prove that users DO care about their star despite what many of them say

I hope that soon we will learn something about this directly from myLot themselves.

Wow!!!! I LOVE that!

Why don't you hit the 'contact' button with your suggestion????

I don't want to believe that myLot have done this for the reasons I suggest but something must be done about what is happening. So many new users recently and the quality has definately gone down and this will cause many other things to go down too - and I fear that our earnings might not be the last thing

You do realise my good fjaril that you dropped less than most, you only went from red to silver, I went from blue to pink, noxious shade too, and you know I'm always orginial.

I doo realize, that I thought I did a decent bungy jump there, thea!
I was a blue 99er and now?? I am a white 65er.. Are you trying to suggest that YOU are a better bunyjumper than I`?? with your pinkiness and a 65er yet!! Now there's real proof!! INDEED!

SO, Don’t worry, you are incredibly, undoubtedly, extremely, original and no colour is gonna change that ‘ Mizz' Thea Olivepickiniancranberrybushnottreeviaus, the Grecian!

We are each unique here
but we are ALL peas in a pod - and it's a darn huge pod!

aaah yes, we are.. and to think we soo very nearly almost reached the 190,000 mark in peas!, Mysdiana!

I peeked and I think I saw myself in your avatar!,, Three quarters of the way down in the open pod..O gasp! The time has come, has it.. do I truly sense the possiblity that we are heading for a pot of boiling water?? THEEE Melting pot?
O Stars!! O Numbers!! A call to arms!! Death be not Proud, for we are on a journey in... in.. er.. Greenland!

Wait a minute! I must be 'properly-doing' or I shall not remain the plain one I am now..sigh....who shall rise to the rescue?? WHO??

After reading that I was even more inspired to remove the peas. I do not want to finish up in the pot - or would it be a cauldron

Seems things are fixed. I wonder what's in store for us next though?

Sigh.. yes..fixed.. and your post didn't get removed. wheeuw!! I read a mess of them out there and hoped you were first!!
what next, you wonder??
hmm. a raise??

I believe those that stayed put had a bit more to say than those that were removed. Those were just complaints, one after the other. Some of us tried to put a different slant on the incident

Thanks for 'that different slant'. I was amused by your apt and able wit and clever approach and perhaps it saved the day here..and NOT just because you might have been first out with it at all, then.

Thanks for the fine company, in any event, through the confusion and hysteria everywhere but here with you!
Next time there is a leak in the boat, I will be looking to YOU to steer us calmly to shore!!

Oh gosh! What a responsability!

This was not the first talking about the drop but I believe it to be the only one wondering whether it could have been done on purpose. I watched eveyone complain and put all the blame on myLot and no-one questioned that it just might have been our own fault - so I did

Exactly my thought! originality save the day! Thanks to you, it saved a bunch of us as well!

So what is the name of your boat, should be need to swim for it another time??

Indeed they do! I hope my thoughts are incorrect but it should shake us all up a bit and realise that we have a job here and it cannot be taken lightly if we want mylot to maintain itself the way it is and always has been.

Let's hope we hear something official soon!

It will be very good to take note of what we are doing here.

Let's hope so... but I can sense that something is not right... Hope it's not what I think. Huhh... maybe I'm feeling sleepy waiting for the 'alert'!

@Welcome to myLot, maithilimitra!

I haven't seen one but all seems well again.

Food for thought though....

Yeah, it seems, now there are still 10 star profiles.
