Do you ever wish you had a 2nd account?

Sometimes I wish I had a second account on MyLot so I could go on that account and express my opinions without worrying about my star going down on my main account. The sad truth is that many will rate you negatively just because they don't like your opinion. I try to express my opinions in a respectful manner, but it doesn't seem to matter.

I thought about it once, just for fun, but ultimately it's not something that I would do. Part of my personal life path is choosing to be the same person in all worlds, online and offline, no matter how that might affect other's opinions of me. So I express my opinions as politely and honestly as I can, and if there are people who dislike me or rate me poorly for it, then that's their option. I was rather frustrated for a while when the 10 star I had for months first fell to a nine star, but after realizing how many wonderful friends I have here that care for me, it just didn't seem to matter anymore.

I doubt I would ever do it either. You are lucky though that your star only dropped one number. I had my star drop from a 9 all the way down to a 5 in a single day. I managed to work it up to a 6 since then, but it's probably going to take a long time to get my star back to where it was.

I never thought of having a second account, because i find less time for mylotting,but i have friends in mylot who have two accounts and they will be active in one account for one month and will use the next account in the next month. Even sometimes they respond to their own discussions.

Wow, see I would never make a second account because it's against the rules. I was just saying it would be nice to have one. What your friends are doing is against the terms of MyLot, especially the replying to their own discussions part. I hope they don't get caught, otherwise their accounts might be deleted.

Yes, it is indeed true that it is very difficult to express yourself on mylot fearing that your star ratings might go down. Actually my star rating was 10 but again i started critisizing some sports players in our home country of their performance and hence my star ratings have started to reduced and now it stays at 8 -(. I also had thought that it would be good to have a second account just for that purpose but what to do we cannot do it as mylot does not allow it as it is against their terms and conditions.

Yes I know it is against the rules and I'd never actually do it. Consider yourself lucky though. Recently I had my star drop from a 9 down to a 5 in a single day. It's going to take a long time for me to get my star back to where it was.

I really think it's best to express your opinion honestly, not caring about your star rating, because I think that if you are not really honest in your post, you don't deserve a high rating anyway. I've never wished for a second acount, because I really don't mind if my rating is low. If people give you a negative rating because they don't agree, they're not worth bothering anyway.

yes even i want to have two accounts on mylot, but i think its better to work with one account, we must increase the contents of our posts and try to increase your referals and ask your referals to post very descriptive post, because i hv to referals and both of them are working very fine so i am earning very much.

I think you missed the point of my post. I wasn't talking about having a second account to increase earnings. I was saying that I sometimes wish I had a second account so I could feel free to express myself without fear of my star going down on my main account. Try reading discussions more carefully.
