Ok Mylotters back to the Stars!!!

[i]Hi slickcut, When I had 9, I remember it happened on the next day and then I was having it for like 3 weeks...lol! ANyway, what I have noticed is that when we are active rating our friends, we maintain having our 10...I do know if it's really true to all but that is what I have observed since I have this 10 for quite sometime! ANyway, glad to hear you back! Enjoy![/i]

I think maybe you began to answer the discussions at a time when they were updating the rating information; I believe they update these the next day for previous day's ratings..

I had a 10. few months back due to some troills it was down to 6 in two days. i reported to mylot admin but nothing helped as such

Yep..my star went from a 10 - 96/100 overnight. It's now 89/100. It's dropped to 88 for a few days then back up to 89. It's been months now. I really don't see the purpose of the stars. The system is open to abuse.

Yes I have had that happen to me twice. I asked myLot friends about it the same as you just did and I was told it was because we have trolls out here. I had no idea what they were talking about and made myself look like an idiot but I asked again and was told trolls are people who rate you negitively and it brings down your star and credit score. I do not know however if that is the way it really is or just thoughts from people. Either way it is very disappointing.

It happened to me once. I started at a 6 then someone did not like my response in another discussion group. It is just appropriate to talk about that in that group, i know. well, i dropped from 6 to a 4. i guess i just let it be since my ultimate goal here is to have fun and tyo share my ideas and thoughts. Good day!

I have a 9 star and have had it for quite some time now. I don't really pay much attention to the stars. But I do try to get involved in the discussions with people who have a higher number of stars.

it happened the next day. i came on and went from a 9 to an 8. took about a month to get back up to a 9. i haven't even been a 10 and i don't know how to get it up that high. but, it could happen. one person marking you negatively will push it down a bit so, i guess someone probably didn't like what you said in one of your discussions.

I said I didn't worry about my start value either, until it was dropped from a 10 to a 9. That drop happened about a year ago, and was a result of participating in the wrong discussion and it hasn't returned to a 10 in all that time. It happened pretty fast, I am not sure if it was in an hour though, it may have taken them a day to lower my star value. I don't get over here all that often any more, I have almost 20 web sites now, mostly blogs and that keeps me pretty busy, but I do like to come over and say hi to friends. Perhaps if I were here daily posting new discussions and answering others in good neighbourhoods I might get my 10 star back but I am a bit too busy these days to put a lot of time into getting my star rating back.

Hi Slick. That happens when you don't give the right answer. I've had it happen to me. However they are not going to get my goat and I could care less. But some people hold a grudge and will attack you if you do not agree with them. Hopefully they get some meds.

The FAQs state that it is not possible for one person to lower your star rating or sabotage you. However, it has been happening big time to those of us who support McCain in the US elections. My star was a 9 and is now a 6 and it will probably be a 5 tomorrow, since it says 58/100 now as a 6. Almost everyone who has posted in favor of McCain has seen a dramatic drop in their star ratings, from 9-10 to 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and a couple of them have completely lost their stars!! I don't think it's one person; it's several. They minus anyone that they do not agree with. BUT the FAQs say we should + any post that contributes to the discussion, esp encouraging more discussion, NOT whether or not we agree. The minus is for those that are off topic entirely or that really don't contribute not because we don't like what they say but because what they wrote has no bearing on the discussion, or cannot be understood. Still, the Obama supporters, for the most part, have their high rated stars but the McCain supporters have lost theirs. I'm just glad that it doesn't affect our earnings. It seems to take more to build up your star points than it takes to drop them lower, doesn't it?

Yes that did happen to me I had a 10 star rating and then within a few minutes it droped to a 9 rating after responding to a discussion, I really dont like it when my star drops because really appreciate my star.

Maybe the ratings was based on mylot algorithm.I've heard about on some discussions. I was only 3 star yesterday, and today i got 5 star rating.That's still a mystery for us how this really works.I even think that best response we made has to do with the stars we earn or could be the positive rating of your posts.but,exactly, still we don't know.. Or mylot made it a unrevealed to for us members to make better post??hehehe.just making a wild guess.

It does not happened to me yet. How to have a star/ Is these really important in doing mylot discussions? I was just asking because i was curious with all I"ved done now. There are lot of things I would like to know more.

I had this happen to me a long time ago. I was shocked but with time I got back my stars. Now I don't worry about it. You will always have people who will rate you negative because they don't agree with your discussions and your point of view.

Yours dropped one star in an hour. Mine ell, from 84 to 69 in 2 hours. . I used to worry a lot about these stars, but then I realised that they are not worth the fuming. It all depends on one wrong person o throw you down. So I still try to post quality responses and make the most of the time that I'm here. Although it hurts to see the hard earned starts going down, no more fretting about it. bourne

I have found it happens to ne when I respond to a political discussion and someone on the thread does not like what I said, not because I was nasty, but because it did not agree wuth them.

Well I just + rated all of your responses so perhaps your scores will go up again and mine will probably go down because someone probably will not like it. I do not know how they work out the ratings. They never make sense.
