Calculate your REAL myLot Star Rating.  |
|
 Good gracious me. What a palavar the star rating system is. But I do find it interesting, and it got me athinking. It seems the star rating system is not exact. So how, I asked myself, can we get an exact score.
To do this I have composed a list of questions. Each question has an answer and an associated score. Answer the questions as honestly as you can, and add up your score. At the bottom of the page, you will find your REAL star rating.
1. Are you remotely interested in the responses you will receive to your discussions?
Never – 0 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 2 points.
2. Do you read all your responses?
Never – 0 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 2 points.
3. Before you respond to a discussion, do you read all the other responses first?
Never – 0 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 2 points.
4. Do you give your discussions best responses when you get one? Lol
Never – 0 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 2 points.
5. Do you write discussions or responses with less than seven words?
Never – 2 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 0 points.
6. Do you rate all the discussions you respond to?
Never – 0 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 2 points.
7. Do you rate all the responses you receive?
Never – 0 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 2 points.
8. Do you rate people negatively if they have disagreed with you, or if you have a cyber-dislike of them?
Never – 2 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 0 points.
9. Do you write your discussions or responses with your best possible English, spelling, grammar, and punctuation?
Never – 0 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 2 points.
10. Do you strive with mind, body, and perhaps a notebook, to write discussions that will benefit the world?
Never – 0 points.
Sometimes – 1 point.
Always – 2 points.
Now check your score?
Score= 19 – 20. Ten Stars
Score= 17 – 18 Nine Stars
Score= 15 – 16 Eight Stars
Score= 13 – 14 Seven Stars
Score= 11 – 12 Six Stars
Score= 9 - 10 Five Stars
Score= 7 - 8 Four Stars
Score= 5 - 6 Three Stars
Score= 3 - 4 Two Stars
Score= 1 - 2 One Stars
How did you do? Having been completely honest with myself, I can tell you I have six stars. Woe is me.

1.  oldbuddy (5748) | 3 years ago |  I just decided to ignore my star rating altogether. it doesn't seem to have any effect on earnings, so why get upset over something I can't control. I am guessing that I get lower marks because I have a fixation on earning money and talk about it incessantly, but them that's what I do so I can't hide it or change, can I?

 Desiderata (503) | 3 years ago | I am not overly hung up on it either. But some people love to chat about it. So thought I would add my slant to the debate.
Thanks OldBuddy. | |

| juliocstryfe (1642) | 3 years ago |  Well my star rating fluctuates up and down, whenever I point out some flaw, like the fact that Muslims shouldnt bash Christians as the Qran forbids it, or that AGLOCO´s agreement is pretty scammish, and that the Bill Gates talks about AAGLOCO is a lie, someone always starts flaming me, and soon I loose a point or two.
Anyway, since Mylot has improved the ratings system, it seems that those that try and bring down one´s rating looses more stars than the person he´s disagreeing with, and the "!" button is pretty useful, so Ive never had it go below 4, but never above 8

| cuddleme01 (1726) | 3 years ago |  oh oldbuddy, i noticed your star rating dropped. same with me, my star rating is slowly going down. like you i don't believe the star rating has something to do with our earnings. i noticed that i still earn good despite my star rating.

2.  beaniefanatic13 (1397) | 3 years ago |  I am being completely honest, I scored a perfect 20. I actually do all of those things. The only reason that I got the one with the d"o you read all responses" is that I generally don't leave a response in a discussion that has more than 30 responses, as I don't want to read through them all. But I have read a few that I did and they are just to exhausting for me. I really do try to follow all the rules here. I'm truly hopeless and will be starting a 12 step program for people like me. LOL!!!!
Another great discussion!!!:)

|
| Desiderata (503) | 3 years ago | Thanks my friend. And I can tell you that it was you who inspired me, earlier today, to write this little piece.
Thanks for the idea.
P.S. Will the programme be called MA? lol | |
|
|
| beaniefanatic13 (1397) | 3 years ago | I'm glad that I inspired you, although I have no idea how I did it. Could be that I'm so tired and can't seem to stop and just go to bed. I just love it here, will be hating tomorrow though. I think I'm off to get a few hours sleep.:) | |
|
|
| Desiderata (503) | 3 years ago | Goodnight my friend.
You inspired me when I read your discussion about how myLot has changed you, and how you have bought a notebook to log your thoughts.
“Now there's a truly diligent and grand myLoter” I thought. This got me thinking about stars and how they can misrepresent; and Voila - the birth of a notion.
Many thanks and dream well. | |

| 3. LittleMel (6473) | 3 years ago |  I'll do the checking later. Right now I'm more interested in earnings calculation. I somehow find that mylot doesn't calculate by quality unless of course I responded to discussions that got deleted, but other than that they did it by assigning certain dollar amount per post.
Can you compose something for that too? Now I will do the star checking.

|
|
| LittleMel (6473) | 3 years ago | wait a sec I got 30!! Does it mean I should get 15 star? well mylot woes!! | |
|
|
| Desiderata (503) | 3 years ago | I would check you math there LittleMel.
I did a post about the calculation once. I will try and think of a new one.
Thanks for your reply. | |
|
|
| LittleMel (6473) | 3 years ago | Ok I got it right this time I am 8 I use calculator and I think I pressed something it doubles the number. I did it again manually oh I don't know why I used calculator in the first place! | |

| 8. treeoflife43 (89) | 3 years ago | I just joined my lot today, and I'm a little confused about the star rating system? What exactly does the number mean? One of the responses said that it was not related to money earned...is it from other users rating you? or does my lot determine the number? How can they know if you read all the responses and stuff like that? I'm confused here... | |
| |
|
|
|
| Desiderata (503) | 3 years ago | You get a star when you reach 100 points. It will be based (as far as I know) upon the ratings you receive from other users.
The calculation in this post is my own invention and is not intended as an approximation of the one myLot uses. It is just for a little bit of fun.
Welcome to myLot. I hope you enjoy your time. | |
|
|
| treeoflife43 (89) | 3 years ago | Thank you so much for your reply...I'm still learning the many different aspects of mylot:) | |

| Desiderata (503) | 3 years ago | You are welcome, and I see you are now my friend. I will try and help you all I can.
WHAT a NICE guy! | |

| 10. lecanis (7221) | 3 years ago |  Nope, I'm still a 10, because I'm just that cool.*laughs*
Actually, I got a 19, because I don't ALWAYS read all the responses to a discussion I post to, just because one in a while something really catches my eye when I have limited time to post (as in I have to hurry off to work or my baby is crying).
Other than that, I do pretty well.=)
