Who has/ have been so generous? Thanks anyway!

Like James, I am at a loss to understand how it all works and although I realise that rankings are not the be all and end all it is still annoying to consider that the results may be due to maliciousness. You’re number one as far as I’m concerned. You post excellent well written discussions! People are just nasty…

Bummer, grrrl. I haven't even checked to see what color my star is lately. Maybe I don't want to know. 'Tis a sad thing when my friend Mimpi takes a hit in the rankings. Sad indeed, but cheer up as you have many more friends here than enemies.

Hi Mimpi! How are you/ Have been totally tied up in the home front but when I saw this discussion on the mail notifications , I just could not resist it.What does this ranking signify and what is PS? I must go check mine .All that I know is sometimes people sudenly mark us negative [ perhaps they do not like some responses of ours or what I just cannot figure out] because one fine day my blue star turned red and it has remained so ever since. This I can understand -- that people mark it negative; but what is the ranking part and how does it work? Does it also come down when people mark our responses or discussions negative?

Hi Mimpi, How are you? I am sorry to learn that you have pulled down from the number one position . Do you think it happened due to negative rating? I think the leader board is based on the activities (the most active person will come up to the top) and if the other person becomes more active than you, then you dropped from the first position. This is my guessing dear I don’t think somebody rated you negative because you are so sweet and a hard worker and I really appreciate your works. Anyway I understand your feelings when going to down from top because once I lost my10 star, it may not be a big issue but the loss is a loss. I hope you will regain the top position soon.

Hi mimpi! I don't know what to say! I have been wondering the same thing myself for quite awhile now! I don't know why some people feel that they have to be so competitive and vindictive. I have only tried to do my best to have a good time here, but lately even my supposed friends have been pushing me to have to defend myself and I am really getting a bit tired of all this drama! I have enough drama and backstabbing in my real life and don't need it here too!

I find it odd that I'm responding to a discussion dominated by "high-ranking" members with thousands of posts already, while here I am, someone who hasn't even reached 100 posts. But the topic come to me as something new and very interesting, and very intriguing too. Until now I haven't really paid attention to the rankings that you and the other respondents talk about so passionately, apparently so because I don't have any reason to worry about it yet...I understand your feelings, I would feel the same way if it happens to me. The good thing is, with your stature here at myLot, there's not a doubt in my mind that you would be able to regain the glory in no time. When I joined myLot I found a warm and refreshing community where members share and support one another in whatever way they can. But just like any group there are some members who are not so friendly and to some extent, opt to do unfriendly gestures. Whoever that is, can you imagine how he/she feels now just reading the exchanges on this discussion? Must be very difficult already. Talk about karma. Cheers!

this situation has been happening for quite some time now and there is nothing really that we can do about it... my advice to you is just to ignore it and don't let it affect you too much... otherwise, you will let the trolls to get the satisfaction that they want by doing this to you... i am sorry that this is happening to you... but it happen and just hang on there... take care and have a nice day...

You know what mimpi, for the life of me, I can;t work out how he heck these rankings are determined??? You were number 1, posted a discussion with close to 20 responses and then the next day you go to number 3??? A similar thing happened to me a few weeks back too. The more active I became, the further down the rankings I slid and at one stage I was 4th! At first I was concerned about it and then I decided to not give a toss anymore. All I know is that my own activity in this interest is more than double the nearest person's, so the only thing that could be happening is that I'm getting negative rated. Good for whoever's doing it I say because they're the ones with issues, not you or me! You'll always be known as a dedicated spanker and you have been from day one. Bugger the lot of 'em!

Hi Mimpi! It is really bad that you have been relegated to No.3 from No.1 position in the Leader Board of Panda Spanking Group. I am not aware how the position gets changed on the Leader Board and if members can influence the position on Leader Board or is it done by mylot. Anyway, you deserved to be number one in the each group, in my view because of your excellent contribution in various discussions here on mylot. Have a great day!

Normally, it's done by a group in the society of "people with no problem always creates problems". Whatever, you have done good social engineering work by saying the words "Thanks anyway" - hopes it repetitively beats their eardrums and "jiggle" their brain or should their eyeballs pull out from the sockets?. They are not the Jai Ho group. Not much can help, calm down...take deep breath...push your drive gear and keep moving forward with 4words.

What is the PS Group? I do not pay attention to rankings, just discussions, but wondering what it's about.

I do not believe I am no 1 in anything on mylot. I am sure it was not done on purpose tho. To answer your question, some people are just mean spirited in the net and real life, there is really not a reason but their nature.

I don't really understand the ranking system in leader board, mimpz! I thought the more active we are in one particular interest is a better chance to stay in the rank, but that doesn't seem to work! I guess some people are just jealous and enjoying what their doing! Just try to ignore them, dear.

It's the curse of the pandas you started a discussion (imitating pandas) maybe the gr8 panda lord sitting in heaven found your discussion derogatory and punished you for it Lol

The last I checked my rankings in the groups was about a year ago. After seeing the rankings swinging so rapidly I just gave up. How can we be No 1 one day and No 3 or 4 the next? I just failed to understand this and stopped checking. All that matters to me now is that all my friends here are still around and starting enough discussions for me to respond to!!!

Oh, hmm, I guess politics is everywhere, even when we least expect it, even when we dont expect it at all I guess. Sad thing about this is,.. even on myLot. At first I was thinking that perhaps in your absence(in this interest)another member has been very active on this interest, making discussions, responding to discussions under this interest or just plain commenting on every response. I know that in this way, one can be the top 1 in an interest. Then again, that made me think that rating someone negative might have a bearing on one's interest rankings. Im just not sure about this. But that is also a possibility. Well, in any case, I know you can be number 1 in this interest's leaderboard again.

I'm the same dear, thanks. I'm glad to hear that your having a nice time with the kids.

Hi mimpi, I am also not one who has even reached five hundred post. But I do check the leaderboard to see who are at the top to get encouragement to reach there once. It really hurts when some members here undertake negative activities and most of the time without enough of reason, just with the intention to harm others. I was thinking if mylot introduces some measure to find how the people are acting - with proper reason or otherwise to separate these group out who are spoiling such a nice forum where there is no place of things like jealousy. I have also tasted the effect of negative minds. However, for now, please keep on your activities without bothering about them, which you will do and perhaps I am not yet qualified to put forward any such suggestion to one like you who is at the numero uno position. Happy that I am a part of this nice social group.

The leader board is a mysterious thing for me. I was at no 1 in 'Listeners' and yesterday saw that I was at 3. Ok no problem. Same thing as it happened to you. An act of generosity. Your PANDAmonium must have done this I guess. Just relax, nothing is going to change your earning and reputation. Vindictive people are around and therefore the world is so beautiful.

Hi Mimpi...I would not pull down anyone's rank, even if I knew how, which I do not. This has happened to me on a poet ranking site. I don't know what to say, except that jealousy and competiveness make small-minded people do petty things. I am sorry that this happened to you :( Karen
