Sometimes when I click to rank, it stays "Ranked!" and other times it appears that I can rank a responce several times and it never stays "Ranked!"

I wondered about that too. I rank everyone that responds to my discussions because I think it does impact on your earnings but I've noticed sometimes it doesn't stay showing as ranked and you can do it more than once.

I don't think the multiple rankings actually count... Maybe you can only give out so many rankings per time period... I wish someone from myLot would answer some of these discussions

It happens to me as well. I don't understand it. but I still give them out anyways. Besides you've been"ranked". I hope it helps!

Yep it's back now and I haven't had any problems with it at all; everyone I've ranked stayed rank... um, I mean, ranked! LOL!

I'm having the same problem. Wonder if you get any sort of payment from the rankings or not.

I believe if you get ranked you get more money, that is why i think they disappear. i rank everyone (including all you) lol but it never stays, they are making it so we do not get paid

I don't think myLot is doing anything to intentionally stop people from getting money, I think it's more likely that we just don't fuly understand how the system works.

Frustration - Frustration
Of course, I could be wrong since now the entire ranking system seems to have been disabled!

A ROSE FOR A THANK YOU - Roses and Diamonds...two of my favorite things.
I don't understand the "ranking" thing at all. I know that I rank a discussion or response positively if I feel it is good. I gave this one a plus. But how do I get others to rank my discussions? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thank you for the +! As far as I know, there is no real way to get other to rank you; you just have to start the best discussions you can, and make the best responses you can and hope. I believe that most people do rank responses; I certainly do!

I've had that happen too. I saw that they are taking the ratings away while they change something so maybe that glitch will go away!

Risky - The world is full of Risks
Well I also faces the same problem. Once I gave a person's response as best response and it was awarded to somone else. Today I have noticed that before posting a messge my rating was 655. But after posting it had become 653. this has happened a lot of times with me. Does the same happen with you?
