Where's My 500?

[b]Hehehe...you're not real Orang-utans are you? By the way congratulations for reaching 500 post. I see you really work hard. You deserved it my friend. I don't really understand why some post are deleted. You are now in 501. That means you can copy and paste. Would you do that?[/b]

My heartiest congratulations to you, Zmugzy. Actually this 'club' is not so exclusive anymore because there are many members who have surpassed the 500 post marker. You will surely cherish the copy and paste feature you can now invoke, and I believe you can now also add images to your posts when you take part in other people's discussions. So enjoy these features since you have worked at it and earned the right to be in this 'club'. After some time, you will just use these so regularly it is no big deal anymore. So now you should be aiming to reach 1000 posts.

I would not call 500 posts in two years "hard graft"... more like "slack"... lol I did achieve 500 posts after 3 months here. And I have been here for 18 months now. And I consider myself "very slack" as I only make a few posts everyday.

As I write this, your post count is showing as 501 hun, not to burst your bubble but this discussion might get pulled as I've had similar discussions deleted in the past - basically your post count goes up as you respond to discussions - if a discussion you have responded to gets deleted your post count goes down. Maybe several of the responses you made to discussions were discussions which had been reported for breaking myLot guideliness and got deleted by myLot. The only way to ensure your post count goes up and stays up is to make sure you read the myLot guideliness carefully and avoid discussions which are likely to get pulled. It could be something as simple as responding to a discussion which has a joke in it or one that has just been cut and pasted from somewhere else and posed no question of the myLot community, it's a b*gger but that's life (here)! Have a good weekend my Orangutan pal xx

I think it is a common thing happening here in mylot. It's because of discussions together with its response are deleted for violating the mylot guidelines. You may view this link about what mylot has to say: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/457762.aspx You may have responded to a discussion, or have a discussion, which has been deleted and that would decrease you number. I guess we must stay away from discussions which has the possibility of being deleted (according to the mylot guidelines) to maintain our number. Have a nice day!

Hello Zmugzy, Same thing happened to me last night I logged of at 730 and this morning it was 727 I thoght I made a mistake but when I look at what I jotted down on my paper yes I finidhed at 730, I don't why Mylot does that, so you are not the only, still well done to you for reaching 500. Tamarafireheart.

some responses are being deleted , I think, for inappropriate content, or repetition, maybe you repeated some of our responses in an effort to reach the 500 faster, but they deleted them for you.. please don't go sad for it! and post with more quality next time! BTW I had about 1000 posts, almost a year ago, but then most of them were deleted! now I'm down to 600

I guess there was a glitch in the system. You're at 502 right now (from what I can see), so congratulations are in the order. I can't imagine why it would take you 2 years to reach this number though? Are you extremely busy? I was able to make it to 500 posts in a few months, but I've been bumming for a few months now so I log in every day. Keep up the good work and see you at 1000! :)

I thought I was inching closer but had the same experience as you. It seemed like my count dropped by at least 5 or maybe even more. Since I still do not understand all of the fine print, or the invisible print for that matter, I just chalked it up to what can I do? Glad you rose to the occasion and got it back up there.

If things you post to get deleted I'm pretty sure that you will lose those posts from your post count. I don't think they have anything against your picture, but you never know.

I so know what you mean!!! I saw my number change from time to time, going down or not changing at all (which usually worries me a bit more, especially when I know it should go up...) But I decided to adopt this 'zen' attitude when it comes to mylot. I realize there are rules I have no idea about and things I can do absolutely nothing about. SO I just enjoy what I get

hi friend.i am sorry to hear that.i also have same kind of experience like you.And it happended three times till now, but the last time is most:i lost 4 stars in one night like you.I don't kno what happended.I was just supposed other people must be same as me.no i don't say any more about it.Here,as you said, maybe we all lost some that day.A friend of mine said it is normal thing whic happened here on mylot.My next goal is also 500 stars.I hope i can get to it sooner. Good luck to you

hey there! you are tough to reach up 501! add me as your friend thanks have a great day

ugh that sucks but most likely you responded to a discussion that mylot deleted well congrats on bringing it back up :)

Hello Friend, same thing also happend to me many times. There is no specified reason why mylot deletes our post. So we can do nothing. Now it is a common incident that everytime I log in to my account I find that some of my deletions got deleted. So dont worry too much just get going and going rapidly. You will succed. try to post/reply 50 disscusstions per day if you really want to earn from mylot.have a nice day and tkcr.

hi there Zmugzy welldone on reaching your 500th post and many more to come take care happy postings

zmugzy hi good deal congrats on reaching 500 and yes mylot'deletes and our points go down then sometimes they add points and our count goes up so just stick with it and keep mylotting and you will be fine,just fine.its irritating I know but if we do not know that some discussions have broke some law and respond there and its deleted we lose points. so choose your discussions as carefully as you can.

You have just added another one in the list of irritating myLot problems. Lots and lots of members are complaining problems when the new layout and updating was done here. You are not alone in that kind of problem. And I guess mylot has already done something to fix a lot of bugs. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

500 posts! That's what I've been long for. I bet I will copy and paste once I reach 500 posts. But it seems that I have a long way to go.

oww im sorry to hear that but the same thing has happened to a few of us today, i lost 3 and i had no idea why but i was soon filled in as to why, and its just not fair but as they told me that i should get used to it as this happens a lot.. but i see you have made your 500 post now... CONGRATS HUGSSS
