Don't sweat it, it happens to me all the time. Just yesterday I was at a 9, now 7. I don't care though. Just keep posting like normal, and it should go back up.

People are probably giving you poor ratings. Has the quality of your discussions and post change? Have you made anyone mad lately?

I am sorry this has happened to you. You are about the fourth person who has posted about their star rating dropping. One person who had a rating of 10, dropped to a nine, and she thinks somebody who was jealous of her star had give her a minus. If that is the case, it is pathetic. I think myLot should have some way of checking the minus feedbacks received and restore the points if they were received unjustly. I will give you a plus now, to help bring your rating up again.

I never give a minus, I dont care who has ten and I would not be jealous that would be very childish. I just want to know why the numbers go down,they should give a reason. Leave a message that would be fare wouldnt it? Thank you I give plusses to all now.

it has back to 8 now.may i know waht you did to go back to 8.i too lost one point.i was 10 before and i cant able to spend some time here my star dropped.so i think it depends on our participation and the number of hours we are spending here.even my total for 100 is also dropping.yesterday it was 95/100.now it is 91/100.the only way to regain is respond more.

just keep posting and answering and it should go back up, i think if someone gave you minus that is why it goes down.

Probably someone voted one of yours posts lower as a minus. But no worries, if you keep posting, people are bound to hit on your good posts and rate you up again. Just keep posting good posts and don't let the number mislead you or demotivate you.

I think there are many of us who are confused with the star rating system. I only got my star recently, I had a rating of 7. After what I thought was a fairly productive day of posting and respondind, the next day it fell to 6. The only thing I thought could have caused my rating to drop was the fact that I disagreed with some opinions, not in a nasty way, but I aired my thoughts. If these posters give you a - rating that probably reduces it.

Well I can see you are up again, but duscussions are there to agree and disagree with. How boring if we all thought the same lol

My theory is - if you want to keep your rating up then either: don't enter into any "controversial" discussions or present a point of view that someone might not like OR Relax, and don't worry about it too much and just keep posting. Mine went down too....I think after I said something people with a different point of view disagreed with. Oh, well, can't help that. I guess I can just keep agreeing with people to keep my rating up but I'm not like that, so I'll just keep being myself.

First of all, you shouldn't have a star until you have reached 500 posts. So, I don't think you should worry until then. The star rating go down when people rate you negatively than positively. I don't think you have much control over this one.

My mistake, it is 100 posts and not 500. I got my information mixed up. Sorry!!!
