January 27, 2007 5:07am CST
i have been seeing a lot of discussions being started just to know the reasons for that decreasing ratings here are the reasons for that 1.if your post are very small 2.if some one rates responses " - " then it will come down 3.if your responses are not qualitative responses. 4. if you try to spam the mylot 5. if you start an abusive discussion all these makes ur star to come dwon drastically.

I had a 9 rating yesterday, but now I found out that it's 8. I don't why, but I don't really care. Probably some jerk rate me '-'. All my responses are good and long, so the only reason for it is that someone rate me. I will reach to the 10 rate. You can bet on that :)

I don't want to be a 10. I'm very happy with my 9. The earnings difference can't be that much and I think people are less likely to give best responses to people rated 10. I could be wrong, but some people are vindictive and 9 is just fine with me.

my star hasnt come down. thank GOD. i started from 7 then i am at 9 now. i think if someone gives you a negative rating your star reputation will definitely be affected. however this does not say much of how well we make our discussions and responses, because there are those users who just give us negative ratings just because our ideas dont coincide with theirs.

I think that mylot has improved his methods very good, i think if your start comes down is your problem because you has made poor discussions or unquality responses on them, you must try to do your best for getting a good star next to your name, have a nice day on mylot and happy earnings also.

This is a wonderful piece of information. I've observed my points fluntuating but i never mind. i post qualitative responses and i doubt it if anyone would give me negative ratings. I follow rules to letters.

Yes, I agree with you, but I'll tell you one more reason. It's envy/ jealousy. My boyfriend told me that his friend hate it, when she see a 10 rating star, so she always give the 10 rating star -. She is really unfair. And the reason she's doing that is because she don't like something perfect. I wonder why people like that are still exist.

Thank you so much for that information - it's very helpful. Can you tell me, how do you see the star rating? I can see others but I can't see my own. Maybe I do not have a star yet? :(

once you reach your 100 posts then your star will appear so try to give best responses and improve your quality more before 100 so that u get a good star rather than 1 numbered star

Thank you for answering me! I appreciate it. I'm trying not to give " - " ratings unless someone is just very very nasty. I will either give a " + " or nothing at all. Lately, I've been giving a whole lot of " + " ratings :)

I have not faced such problem yet. But, I would definitely look to the points which have told me. I think they are quite logical and we should avoid doing that. The star rating which are given to each and every member is very important for them. It can be kind of multiplier with the algorithm which my lot has set. It may reflect the quality to the algorithms and according to that the amount of money you are in is calculated.

may be like that but we should make a quality post to earn good points and also earnings

Thank you for the input but I dont see why so many of you guys take so much pride in these stars. Who makes these people god to rate your own personal opinion. I think this whole starthing was stupid because alot of good people are getting insulted on here when those stupid things drop. Its like its making everyone competive here to have a star rating of 10 when it really does'nt matter. I htink evreyone should be happy with their answers no matter if your StArS drop.

you have summed up the reasons well.i also post good quality replies and try to make it as long as possible without stretching it unnecessarily.but sometimes people rate you with a negative even when you have given a good reply just because they dont agree with you.i started with a 6 star and am at 8 now.lets see if i can get upto 10.

Thank for your post.Even the older at mylot can know all this it will be help for the new members.For me i start with 5 star ,in few days turn to 9.I write more qualitative responses but sometimes when the question doesn't help for to long answer i wrote little.many of you can thinking why i go give answer at not so qualitative post.Right but some of them are my friends and i try help them as i can.After all the number of your star not the more important thing here.
