I am so disappointed right now!!!!
I know this will probably be deleted like alot of the other posts I have done over the last two days but I am so disappointed with what is going on. I worked hard here a couple of days ago for nothing. My points have made a huge drop and so have my earnings. My earnings are still going down as I type this. I set myself a goal here at Mylot and now it is all falling apart. I just do not have any kind of motivation here anymore. I worked so hard to make it to the top user page also, but by the looks of it, that won't last either. I have to earn online to help my family out, so I have to move on to something else, it seems. I cannot waste time on something that I do not know will work or not. Alot of people say they are not here for the money, but I spent time here for it and also enjoyed the discussions here. I met a few good friends here also. I cannot keep doing this though if I am not going to advance here. I will probably be away for a while now. I just do not have time to waste. Even if we do not get paid here, I feel like I wasted time replying to my friends because it got deleted and they no longer have my response.
I'm sorry my friends but my family comes first.

I also could see my points got reduced here today. When I logged in this morning I found .01 reduced and now after couple of hours i noticed .04 reduced. I just don't know what is happening. I only noticed earnings updates everyday as of now. Do they update in between too. So much confusing but only thing I believe is to enjoy here rather than noticing on earning..

That is good you are improving your reading and writing, I use to be here for money when they were paying good, now I am here because of the nice people I have met. And Steph is one of them.

I am also facing the same problem for the last four days.I think there is some thing going wrong with mylot algorithm.Before seeing this discussion,i thought i am only facing this problem.Now i think more members are facing this problem.I am not joined in this site for the earnings,still earning makes this site totally different from other sites.It motivates to post and reply more and more discussions.I think every member,in this site first pay attention to their earning,each every day they first logged in.I joined this site to improve my english and communication skill.I know there is lot mistake in my post and reply.But, after joining mylot i improved it a lot.

Hi subha and gabrielle47. I think Mylot had to make some adjustments also but it would be nice if they would at least tell us something. They have not wrote me back since this happened. It is very frustrating when we work so hard and try to do right and then have this happen to us.

Yes Its not only you who have experienced this and I think a majority of myLotter do at this time. I have triple things to be scornful about: reduction in number of posts (just as I was aiming to reach 500), my earnings reduced as well and my star rating which have gone from 100% to now a 7 only. ITs so disheartening and wish myLot could just explain everything to us.

Hi. I have also noticed this and yes its sad to hear your mail has not been answered by myLot. I just recently found out that my earnings have been adjusted since the start of April. Some days it was increased and some it was decreased. So if you can see today, you would not notice much difference i your earnings and its driving me mad also on the why its happening. But nonetheless, I will just keep on posting and gain back my points, ratings and earnings.

yeah, Stepcjh, I can understand and me too also have some posts deleted although most of the mylotters do lost their couple of posts from past days, and I don't think I have lost any sort of earnings here from those deleted posts. And its all depend upon you that whether you are for money or for fun, and you are right that if we don't get paid here then we might not get too much traffic here at mylot... Its the money and only money which keeps us (atleast me) attract here at mylot... Otherwise I also don't wanted to waste time...
Have Fun!!!

Hi stephcjh, I am sad to learn that both your earnings and points going down rapidly. After reading many discussions here recently, I come to know many of us, including me did face the same problem as well. Really, money, friends and funs made here are the great motivation to keep us to indulge in mylotting here. You are right, our family and work are always the priorities. So I spend only my spare time to login mylot here daily. By the way, thanks for allowing me to park my avatar in your friends list. There are so many problems about the point reducing, earning going down and reputation dropping, let see what crash would say about these in his coming discussion. Happy posting and good luck.

I have no idea what is going on. I found my earnings down from this morning. I have been too busy with other things, and on myLot with updating the pluses on my discussions I started. I heard that helps, but while I am doing it, I am not doing any posting and since one does not get paid for comments, doing little of that. I do not have that much time to do myLotting. I do hope this is not deleted. I found a few in my mylot digest that were deleted and they were not "join my site" either. They were nice but boring titles. So I guess the gremlins are at work again.

You're right, buddy.
That's why I quit about 2/3 months, knowing that my earning is not growing since I've joined them. Even though inside I know that having discussion on mylot is really helpful and fun, but without get any paid it seems could drop my passion to be in mylot again.
You see, it happened to me about couple times or more, where I've tried to increase responding discussion, make discussion and more, but when I check my earning the day after, there is no change at all with my earning. That's why I feel confused to try another making money online site.
But now, I'm still trying whether mylot could give me a paid out knowing that my earning so far is still 4.78. I have not reaching $10 since I joined. But I still wanna give it a try. ;)
Don't get disappointed, I know that mylot'll going better.
have a nice posting!

Hi Steph'
I would like to know the answer to that too,my earnings haven't dropped as yet but I work hard on here and type responses in until early morning but the day following my earnings never seem to go up that much-it would be interesting to know why-but I have noticed that one time although I was posting responses etc my total never went up apart from a few-that was a bit upsetting as I had been typing a lot that night.
Still I will persevere and see what happens-am sorry though that your earnings have dropped why don't you write to mylot and find out why-blessings littleowl

I also lost 2 cents a few moments ago but now i got 1 cent back, So i am less 1 cent from my original earnings. There is not change in my Mylot points.
I am also worried about it if i will lose some points or earnings today.
Lets hope for the best.
Thanks

I hope that everything is ok now with earningas.. I didn't have yet that kind of problem..
as far as I've read some loose of 2 cents it's not a big deal... If one post is deleted.... Is that means that man must carefully make a choice on what discusssions not to replay??

I have not had any problems with MyLot lately, but if you are having some problems, then by all means move on, if that is what you need to do. So far things have been working out just great for me on here, and I've made enough money to keep my coffee cup full, when I go out in the afternoons.

Firt of all, stephcjh, you shouldn't be so easily discouraged! With myLot, as with many other things, I've noticed that there are ups and downs. There have been times when I've grown discouraged, but there is a fighting spirit within me that won't allow me to fade quietly into the background. If you have questions you should go directly to the source. You're not the only member I've heard voice concern lately. I never really keep up with my points so closely but I understand they are very important to some myLotters. You should talk to admin.

I don't know but I didn't get any credit for my posts yesterday.So,don't be disappointed it's look as this is happening to alot of members here on this site,you are not the first to voice your concern,I answered a post about this problem a couple of days ago.You should never ever rely on a website for a source of income because you just never know when the plug is going to be pulled.Even if its your own website you would have to be a little leary to depend on it for an income.I was here for the money at first but its a little slow in coming so now I'm just here to improve my reading and writing skills then to something a little more challenging,thats about all we can do,when its time to move on you're know.Hope you stay around and good luck in whatever you decide.

I think that maybe because of the purpose you are here is not right.Here is a place to share ideas and learn sth.Then get a good communication.But you pay more attention to earn money.If you really wanna earn money do your business.
In that case you will be tired not in mind but in body.So eventually you lose your interest in it.
That means that you have no enjoy it at all.
My suggestion is that change your mind and attention towards mylot.That will be better.
