How does someone who acquired a level "8" commentor level drop to a level "7"?

Hmmm......I didn't know that that could happen. I think that there is an algorithmic thing going on that assigns that stuff, and if you or I took off from Hubpages for a month and left no comments, either "good" or "bad" - then maybe it would adjust us down some levels.

Possibly they raised the bar. Now it takes (x amount of views ) where as it only took (y amount of views). For instance it took 950 before and it takes 1200 now.

Possibly they revampped a little maybe they limit how many 100s, 90s, 80s, exc, that there are.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
