Unfair MYlot star system.  

I agree I was gone for a month and my earnings and star ratings have disappeared.-_-

this star system depends upon our earnings.. when you will not log in.. that means you will not gonna earn any thing.. and in result.. your rating will decrease..

i never noticed it here on mylot..in reality i had my star when i joined and reached more than 100 posts and after that period rating and colour never changed!!

It has nothing to do with you being gone,in fact the only way at all that it can go down from what I have been told is if someone rated you negative, maybe someone didn't care for a comment that you posted, or most anything one never knows what goes through peoples heads but you are just a hair below making your next star color so don't worry about it, 1 or 2 points makes very little difference.

i got my break when my rating 131 but did not get a star,, was the firs tome i come back in and give a response,, suddenly there for me the star

I have had to be off here for over a week once and to be honest my star never changed neither did anything else like the earnings.Perhaps every now and again it changes for other reasons.There are alot of people on here so i do not think that they would waste alot of time looking for people that have not been on here for a while where as they have peoples discussions to look at.

cynicalstephen no mylot does not do a darned thing to your ratings do not you ever read all the information about stars and ratings and other things. we mylotters rate each other and our ratings go up and down according to how many mylotters rated positive or negative. My lot admins does not have a darned thing to do with the rating, and that is all explained in the guidelines, the rules, and the questions and answers, if you had not been lazy and read the questions and answers you would know that the only people who rate you are your fellow mylotters.a s this discussion broke the rule about discussions asking questions that mylot admins already have answered in the questions and answers so your discussion will be deleted as it broke that rule and also the rule about not making a discussion over any issue you have against mylot admins. for heavens sakes to save yourself from losing points and earnings read the my lot information.

The way it should be viewed is that, in a way, mylot really is a job. When you don't show up for work...especially not for a long time, you're going to take a hit in your performance review and that can often times mean a hit in your pay. It sucks if it happens to you, but it's part of the business.

As far as I know you don't lose money or star ratings just for not logging in for a month or so. I had a very busy few months in my life where I didn't visit Mylot at all and when I came back I don't recall having that problem? I could be wrong though! Maybe something has changed, not 100% sure - sorry about that! From what I know star ratings are just based on how people rate your discussions/responses. I'm not a huge fan of the Mylot star rating because I feel like it's too easy for people to just rate you low if you didn't really do anything wrong. Plus I feel that you should be able to speak your opinion here without worrying about someone giving you a negative rating. Just my thoughts!

Not real sure how the star system worked...I wish they paid according to it tho, the lower the rating the lower the pay...it would keep mylotters more interested in how they are doing.

I was gone for a few months but I still have my star and a rating of 10.
