Mylot's explanation why our earnings went down yesterday.

Philippines
May 1, 2007 4:37pm CST
Most of us experienced a decrease in our earnings yesterday. I asked mylot about it and here's the e-mail i received this morning. We had a slight problem with the earnings updating yesterday. Some users were paid more than they should have been. We fixed the glitch and some users saw a decrease in their earnings. We apologize for the inconvenience. Let us know if you have any questions. myLot Staff With this information, I hope our questions are answered.

Fast explanations are always nice to see :). Myself I haven't been affected though I must say, can't go much lower than 0.00, so missed out on all the fun unfortunately ;). But did see quite some hectics about all this popping up, hehe.

me too, since I did not post that much for 2 days, I really did not see any glitch. Besides, I did not get to check my earnings until late last night so unfortunately, I missed the excitement as well! Might as well, I would say.

Thank you for filling us in. I did not see any change in my earnings, but I did have friends that had this happen. I think it is good that you went to mylot to ask instead of starting a post about it. that is what they ask us to do.

that's what mylot told us to do to report problems we encountered.

i lost about 12 cents but i wasn't upset. i knew i didn't do much work and i got paid a lot of money. i was sitting here thinking how come i made so much for such little work yesterday, then i saw it go down so i knew they had overpaid and i wasns't thinking they stole my money like a lot of people blamed mylot for. thanks for the info though.

Yes. I can accept that. It was just strange to watch the increase and then the decline in the balance.

I don't think I noticed a decrease yesterday, but the day before. Of course, I think you posted this yesterday. My earnings was cut in half and I figured that it was because of some miscalculation and it didn't bother me all that much.

thanks for sharing this. :) much appreciated. although i admit, i wasn't affected by such decrease in earnings. if anything else, i've experienced an increase almost everyday by a few cents only. stil it's good to know that there are explanations for such happenings in mylot. i'm glad you inquired and was able to share it with the rest. this process lessens disgruntled users. -lol-

I am not affected from this problem so much since I just made two or three posts in last three days.I used to have some problems but decreases were relatively low and I didn't ignore them too much.I thank to Mylot since they answer to this issue and fix the problem in faster way.

good for you, you were not affected. but mostly,i think were amazed of this sudden decrease. now everything is clear. mylot's apology is well accepted.

well i experienced a decrease, when i first signed i glanced at my earnings, and suddenly after a posting they had decreased. i thought that could not be possible so maybe i had made a mistake in seeing it correctly. now, i know what exactly was the matter thanks for sharing!

Well, I guews it is a good explation. But why they did not send and Alert as soon as they detected the glitch. It would have been nice to hear from there and not to speculate about the causes of the decrease and have to start all thease discusions
• Philippines
2 May 07
that was a nice observation. i think they have not noticed the glitch earlier. anyway, they advised us that should there be problems in mylot we were told to contact them immediately. and that's what i did.

good idea if we will suggest to mylot admin about giving us alert every now and then if there are problems being encountered here like what had happened yesterday.

I agree with you. They should have sent out an Alert or something. Not that I'am Not Complaining over it I Just think it would have been nice of them to do so.

oh it is really a problem, you are trying hard just to have that earning and just suddenly it went down. for sure mylot are doing the appropriate action on it by now. i was kinda thankful that i havent experience that yet, i just hope that everything will be fixed so that all of us will be inspired on doing more things here.

it has been a problem which i can never fathom. yesterday and the other day, i did so many responses and i posted some discussions of my own. yet the pay i got was so little. it is good as an insignificant sum. mylot admin must check this out.
• Philippines
2 May 07
prior to this so-called glitch, i did many responses too and even uploaded photos so i was excited to see my earnings went up that evening. but i was surprised the following morning that almost half of the increase was taken off. that prompted to send mylot an e-mail and i got this reply. well, what else can we do but to accept mylot's apology.

I did not noticed it. I am expecting a lower earning yesterday because I knew I only have a few discussions. What I observed was it doesn't have the usual breakdown per day and only showed my total earning for the months. This is a good information and I'm glad you mention it and mylot response to it.

in my case, i did expect it to be higher because prior to this incident, i had a lot of responses made and uploaded several photos. i was quite disappointed when this sudden decrease happened. anyway, mylot asked an apology for the error they made.

ok ryan. .thanks for giving me the info.. but anyway.. i think no matter how much they reduce.. they actually credit us for our hardwork.. do you agree? i've been here for just a month.. which you can see from my profule.. and now i've been earning steadily.. thanks to my friends support.. so.. i think it doesn't really matter when it comes to recalculation.. we still get our earning.. haha..anyway.. it's good that you finally clear the doubt in everyone mind.. mylot staff just told me that they will recalculate every 3 days and nothing more than that..

will there be recalculation of our earnings every 3 days? is that what mylot told you? will that explain the fluctuations in our earnings? i thought our earnings is much more dependent on the number of posts and discussions we participated in?
