Who is giving me negative rating?

India

LOL. Not that I notice it much. But surprisingly it did make me feel sad today. Three four days back I noticed my rating drop from 95 to 94. I thought its fine. Lately people gave good ratings to me and I climbed from 80s to 90s. But today when I saw it drop one more to 93, then to my surprise,I felt really sad. Sad because I don't know what mistake I have done lately. If I have, then it was not intentional. I feel sad that I might have angered my friends. But I never want to. Please tell me where I am going wrong. Above all, you must understand that its not about points or star, but because I am genuinely concerned, as I usually am for my friends here. Do you feel sad too like I do right now?

For one person to give you a negative rating, there would be ten more who would give you the positive mark so don't be too sad about it. Although I know how you feel. I felt that way the first few days when I noticed my rating go down but now I'm taking it so much better. So keep that chin up and don't worry.

Some good soul has snatched away my blue star by bringing my ratings to 92.It was 92 for ages.Yesterday I saw it managed to become 93 and which made me happy as if I have begotten a fortune.My happiness didn't even lived for twenty four hours because I am seeing 92 again. Well I don't mind as long as I have my great friends here who always give positive ratings to the good responses as I do for them.

Oh no! It so sad! Yes you have good friends here and you are a great friend to have. No matter what the point says. Its some sad soul's way of seeking satisfaction I guess.

I have lost a couple of points in the last week too Daffodil and I have seen a number of other members experience the same. I have no idea why or who in any of the cases, but we can't make everyone happy all the time! We also have the unfortunate situations where some people abuse the ratings system for little or no reason at all. This is their problem in the end and karma will get 'em! Try not to get too concerned about it as I am sure you will creep back up again in time.

Thanks James. I'll creep back up again if my friends want it. I wish the same for you. I've always found you to be very polite and warm.

Hello, Daffodil20. I am going to tell you something that probably is not going to cheer you up. If your rating is going down, then there is not only one person rating you negatively. It is described in myLot FAQ that one user only cannot alter your rating effectively, even if he is "stalking" you. Therefore, there must be more than one single user rating you down. HOWEVER, I do not believe you should feel sad. Come on, you are trying! Everybody makes mistakes. People will rate you negatively if they do not like your responses, but, if you are making good comments on things, then people will start rating you positively again. It is something that will change with time. Just wait and see, keep posting your quality stuff and soon your star will be shining ten! Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I understand your point. You do not want to make people sad, you are always willing to see them happy. But just because people rated you negatively doesn't mean they were angry nor anything. Perhaps they wanted you to know that you can do better.

Hello munhozmib! Thanks for the information. Being sad is something I can't help. Ah, not for this reason. If people dont like me then I must be lacking somewhere. Maybe I might have unknowingly behaved inappropriately. You know why it matters to me? It is for this reason alone. The last thing I would want to do is make people sad or angry. So I would like to correct myself if I happen to know where I have made the mistake. I feel happiest when people are happy. When there are smiles on faces. If my friends say they would be happy with me having the lowest ranking, I would happily oblige. I know I am MAD, but not Bad.

Hello Daffodil. Your discussion reminds me of the cartoon, Who Moved My Cheese?" hehehe. No worry, my dear friend. I guess that it might be related to some of the responses to some discussions being deleted that might lead to the happening of it. Have you ever thought about it? Do not feel sad, friend. It will be back soon for sure. Good luck and happy posting.

Well, mine is lower than yours, but you know it does fluctuate for everyone and so what goes up must come down. I have never given you a "-" but would suggest to you to not be concerned. You still have a very high rating and even if you didn't that would be no reason for sadness.

I guess you are right drannhh. Me worrying is not going to change how others feel for me.Maybe in due course of time I might be able to charm them again.

I don't think the fall in your rating is due to people giving negative rating but it is due to people not rating your discussions. It happens to everyone in my lot so you need not worry about it. People are very friendly fear and don't give negative rating mostly.
