I'm so confused. The star by my name has always said 8, including yesterday. Now, all of a sudden it says 5. How did that happen?

OH me too, I really don't know how the rating goes. My star also is always an 8 but I found out today that my star changes and it's 9 now. I can't believe it. I wonder why it's like this. Well if the members have to do something with it. Thanks for them. happy mylotting!

It's a popularity contest, all of a sudden three people decided they didnt like you. Its kind dumb. But here, I'll rank you up again.

It seems that your rating went down. It has happened to me. Don't sweat it! It will pick back up eventually. Sometimes, it can be a bad troll that is lurking to destroy you. Sometimes, it can be for no apparent reason.. Sorry, that this has happened.. You are not the first person that does has happened to. I too, was a victim to this ordeal..

Hehe, just go on and don't care about the stars and money. Sometimes, I will notice my earnings have been smaller. I don't know why.
