Something is going seriously wrong here. Yesterday I lost a best response and my rating went down 5 points out of nowhere! I sent them a message for each problem and haven't gotten a response yet. I just read another discussion where a member made several posts and only got 1 penny. I have a bad feeling that we are in for a very bumpy ride here.

The discussion I got best response on is not deleted either and the poster reinstated my best response. This is craziness.

Be very careful what discussions your commment on. mylot goes through and deletes the discussios that are just single words or sentances. Thus if a discussion is deleted that you had commented on, you will loose the point for that comment. I am very careful what I comment on. I only write quality discussions and only comment on quality discussions.

I see that you are fairly new. dont be discouraged. I have gotten paid every month since I have been here. They weed out the articles that are not up to the standards that is set forth in the guidelines. Just go reread them and you will understand. There are so many people here who are not very honest

Thanks so much for the information and the encouragement. I was so happy to reach that 500th post and then find out i lost so many of my numbers was a real big let down i have been working so hard and i put my heart and soul into all my responses and discussion it hurt my feelings i guess more than anything. I will keep plugging away but i really wished that would not have happened but what are ya gonna do right.

if mylot delete a discussion for some reason and if your one of the member who respond with that discussion surely you will be deducted too. Sometimes when we are still careful to whom we respond, we are not sure if that discussion will be deleted so we should expect that sometimes we will be deducted. LIke me, when i signed this morning, i had found out that i had lost 4 post, i dont even know why and what post it was but anyway no question ask i continue on my posting.

I don't really know what happened to your posts. But I've heard that when someone's discussions are removed for some reason that all the responses are also discounted. I don't know if that is true or even if it is what happened to yours, but it what i thought of when you asked.

The numbers in parentheses represent the amount you've earned point wise from starting discussions, responding to discussions, and comments made. So you actually don't have this many posts started. They deduct the points and earnings fro deleted discussions you've started, replied to, or commented on. So it's always wise to avoid any discussions that violate the guidelines such as celebrations discussions, one liners and any with a link thats a referral. Sorry this has happened to you. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hi Kat, This happens with the majority of members and if you do not submit at least the required amount of lines then you will lose points here, or if you respond to others that do this then that is why you will lose points.

I too noticed that my reply was not on a couple of discussion that I replied to, yet the discussion is still there. My reply was not a single line either. I thought it was a glitch, but now I wonder.

I do not know what to do about it but it happened to me also. I reached 400 and then I lost around that many posts also last week. I was stunned I did not loose any money thou. Maybe if you contact mylot and ask them. I think I lost posts because they deleted some discussions that I responsed to. Have you looked at that? Good luck
