I guess I opened a bad can of worms...

everything goes down easier than it goes up its called gravity LOL

At one time I was a perfect 10...then I ventured onto the Political board and it was downhill from there! I agree with the other responder...don't worry about your star ranking. It doesn't earn you more or less per post and people can and will use that - button as a weapon for little or no reason.

Well, you have a 9 star rating i don't understand what you mean your star went down a point i see it 2 ways you had a 10 and it went down to 9 or your rating over for example 99/100 went down to 98/100 what do you mean? sometime you get rated negative by someone who didn't like your response to their discussion that's one way to lose your star rating...i know it happen to me it took months before i got it back matter of fact i just got it back 2 months ago.You got to be careful around here some say that it don't matter,but,when you have a good star rating it always look better than a low star rating...I know i take more notice what a fellow mylotter has to say when their star rating is high it just give that person more i guess respect...but you shouldn't fret you have the 2nd highest star rating you can obtain so...cheer-up and be happy about what you have accomplish...
