Having trouble reaching 10 stars...

I think the rating is basically to guide members to posts that have a fulfilling amount of detail. You see people with ratings of 1-4 and usually they have the 1-4 because of discussions that start out with 3-4 words & just asking a question, or people responding with a yes or a no, or a yes or no and three-four words after it compared to this that have a huge wall of text and are really trying to be active in the Mylot community with 8-10 stars! That's just my take on it, anyways. Don't worry, as long as you stay active you'll get paid. There is more then enough people sticking around that would have passed the 10$ payment at least 2-3 times & haven't left yet which makes me almost 100$ sure that you'll get paid. I haven't seen any negativity either towards Mylot other then members that broke the rules or were inactive for way too long.

Hey thanks buddy!! Well i had been away for quite a long time.. pehaps around a year.. but now i will try to be more active... have been responding to discussions whenever i get time to be on net.. so hope it works for me this time...

Nooo problem. Yeah, a year away from Mylot is a long time.. welcome back, and keep on posting and staying active =D

yes, but i know what this man is talking about..this is an election year and people get real mean when it comes to elections..some people in the Philippines get even worse..as my wife has a cousin who had to leave the Philippines because of his opposition to Marcos..he was shot several times..and he still lived.. But now he is married to a fellow Pinoy who is a nurse and heis a chef..in the US..so things turn out.. but politics are like religion..you should not talk about them as some peoople get very upset and are set in their ways.. I too am an eight but i don't worry about the petty people who don't like my post..delete them or whatever..once I was kicked out of Answers! on Yahoo..and i was the highest level..but it was my fault as I violated the rules of conduct and it don't matter how many friends you have..you are out and all your points too..but i just got another e-mail account and started all over again..its all a dog and pony show anyway..thanks for the great post..by

Of what I know, it does, but not very much. Nobody really knows the earning algorithm. Mylot is hanging to this with both hands and their teeth. If they tell us the algortithm they won't be able to control how much they pay anymore...

Thanks so much for your response (and for choosing me!). :-) I definitely learned my lesson about going AWOL and won't let that happen again. I'm pulling for you to get up to that 10 star mark. Hope you have a great day! :-)

My main guess is that it is due to your inactivity. Not only does Mylot probably frown upon that, but the friends on your friendlist. I mean, it's like one day you're responding to their discussions, and they're responding to yours and then BAM gone for a bit, and then you come back & in that time you were gone you might have frustrated a lotttt of people! Just keep up the good quality of your posts & make close friends to help boost your rating back up! I'm not sure that Best responses effect your rating, but who knowss. I'm going to mark your response as best response though as I felt you gave the most descriptive & honest response, :)

Well, you are pretty hot so that could possssiibly be it. I dont know, I feel as though my posts are fairly lengthy and I still am only sitting at 9 stars.., and I have had about six best responses in the first month I joined.. who knows how the stars work! I forget to rate people a lot.. so maybe they do the same to me, and just forget and it might explain why a lot of people are still sitting at nine!

I dont care too terribly much either, I was just curious as to how exactly people achieve the 10starness stuff & I wasn't sure what other discussion to make at the time, =P

Thanks but the avatar is not me unfortunately :D "I forget to rate people a lot" I tell you a secret: I often don't rate anyone :D. I don't think rating others is linked to the star. Maybe you have someone against you who gives bad ratings I don't care about the 10 star, anyway, if it was possible I could give you mine ^___-

Aha, I have no idea what I did this time but my star rating dropped from about 93-94 all the way down to 90! I have been a bit less active within the site, maybe the star rating can drop the less active you are? I have no idea, really! Ahhhh well. This discussion is way old, star rating doesn't much matter to me anymore, =P
