Your 'star' rating represents what other members think of your posts. Read the FAQs: Why is my reputation going down? * Your star rating relies solely on the myLot users. * Your number goes up or down depending on how your discussion/responses are rated by the myLot community. http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq11.aspx#4 But (in the previous section) it says "Your myLot Reputation rating takes into account various factors including the Discussion Ratings System." What can you do about it? - Make sure that you understand and observe the Guidelines. DON'T try to 'get round' them by posting things in such a way that they are 'not quite' violations. Other members will notice this and, even if they don't report you, may give you negative ratings. The occasional post which is deleted does not usually influence your reputation (especially if it is deleted through no fault of your own) but repeated Guideline violations almost certainly will. - Always post good quality, relevant and descriptive responses, comments and discussions - Always be considerate of others. Do not 'flame', be rude or criticise other people for their English (unless they specifically ask for help, of course). - Make sure that you are using the Discussion Rating System properly yourself. Your own use of it can have an effect on your own ratings in certain circumstances (see the last item on the FAQ page above and also read: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq17.aspx

so it means that we need to be nice with other members and avoid responding to post which we think already violate mylot for our own sake and just concentrate on giving and making valid and in post good quality post.

It depends upon how many of your replies get deleted. If you participate in a discussion that is in violation of the guidelines, most probably that question is going to be deleted alongwith your answer. If you participate in more of those kind, more of your answers will get deleted and it affects your rating. Consider like this. If you post 5 discussions and all of them get deleted, it is 100% in a day. It will decrease your rating by appx. 1 point. Avoid participating in discussions that are violating the rules. And be sure not to violate the rules yourself.

And if someone rates your discussion negative, that would also affect your reputation. (But, most mylotters don't rate a discussion negative, unless that discussion is highly irregular.)

I would suggest you read the help forums, perhaps this has happened to others. If that doesn't help you, I would say perhaps ask technical support.

makemoneyonline this happened to my several years ago.three men trolled from a 100 percent blue star down to a five over night. I contaced mylot by hitting the word contact then scrolling down to other, there I filled in the blanks and told them I was takend down from one hundred percent to a five overnightl they investigated and found three men who bragged to them they had fixed the old lady]\ mylotter by staying up all night and hitting minus on everything ai had ever written. mylot broght my star back up to yellow, then I got up to red where I remain. so do as I suggest then they will investigatge as it sounds like someone is doing this to you \deliberately.

WOW!! how ugly! That same thing happened to me, but admin couldn't figure out who the culprits were. I am trying to stay out of trouble now so maybe it won't happen again. I just feel like if you do it to someone anyway, it will come back to you.

Your rating is based on what other people think of your posts. Try to be very helpful and I'm sure your star rating will go up.

Hello Makemoneonline, Our reputation is not in our control what is in our control is to write quality content on our responses and comments so try to write more quality content may be your reputation will move up then.As your activity rating is still low so you can move up your reputation easier.

Helloo...Aww that's not good. Maybe someone or some others always rate your responses or your comments with "-". I don't know other possibilities, just try to guessing. Let's see for the next two days if your star is still decreasing, I am sorry I don't know how to solve this. Hope your star will increase soon.

Yeah, we both don't know why and can't find out who (if someone does) it was. Be patient, maybe the admin is still busy or they are checking it.

Low possibilities someone rate us down because it also affect their reputation and earning. Even someone rate you down, high possibility it came from new user (but have more than 100 points). Veterans user won't rate down someone, they made report (if discussion/comment breaking guidelines)

This has probably happened to most of us. I disagreed with someone and wrote something upsetting to them and my numbers went down. I try not to do that anymore. You can give your opinions without being to strong or ugly when you do it. I have had to practice my comments and learn to make them sound positive whether I agreed with what was being said or not. it works. That may not be your issue tho. Someone may just be rating you negative cause they want to. Never can tell.

i guess it depends to our discussion like if you repsonse to the post which we think that violate mylot and go deleted as mine decreased too maybe because i respond a lot to the previous post about earnings which of course not allowed in mylot,pitty on me though good things is that they tried to clean our mess to make this site a better site to converse with. just hangon and dont worry about your rating it will increase someday it really change from time to time but somehow it will increase.
