Where has My Points Gone?

August 29, 2008 11:04am CST
Hello Mylotters, I have been so busy last night Mylotting into the wee hours of the moning and I looged off when I reached 2623, but this afternoon when I logged on I found my points had gone way down to 2580 what has happened? why has my posts been deleted? was it all for nothing and waste of my time and energy responding and for what to be deleted like that. I really used to enjy Mylotting but its getting me down down, what is the of it all? I feel instead of going forward I'm going backward with fault of my own, could somebody explain what is going on? has anyone else is losing their points? please sheare. Tamara

Wow tamara, that's alot of points to lose! Did one of your discussions get deleted? That's the only thing I can think of to lose that many points. I know that I lost some points too, but not that many and I know it was because of some other peoples deleted discussions. I would write to mylot and ask them. They will give you some kind of answer. Don't be upset, there has to be a reason and I don't think you did anything wrong. It might have been someone else posting in one of your discussions that did something to get it deleted. Write to mylot and see what happened.

Hi Opal26, I have not done any discussions for sometime now and I have only been responding to my friends discussions and sometimes Mylotter's discussions but I will write to Mylot and ask, it is not right at all, I wouldn't mind it if it was just one or two which has happened before but this takes the biscuits. Thanks for your response Opal and take care. Tamara

It happens all the time, so don't worry about it. myLot is continually cleaning house, and will delete discussions here and there that are against the TOS. If you posted a response to one of those discussions, you may lose a point here and there. It is now down to the end of the month and myLot always does a lot more 'cleaning' then, so you will likely lose some points, all of us do. I lost 12 overnight myself. Don't let it bother you, just keep on posting. I lose a point or two several times a week, and always lose a good number at the end of the month.

Those 43 points were no doubt pulled from various days, not just what you did yesterday, unless you posted a lot of things yesterday that you shouldn't have!

Hi Ldyjarhead, I am always making sure of my postings and I have back check my responses and they were still there so the only thing I can think of is because is nearly payout time and they keeping my earning down, I have heard the others are losing theier points as well but not as much as me. Thanks. Tamara

Hi Ldyjarhead, Thanks for your coments but its a bit much to lose the whole evening work it was 43 posts I've done and was wiped out in one go, I wouldn't have minded if it was just a few because it has happened on a few occasion but this was just too much for me. I know Mylot do that at the of the month but it still peeved me off. I am alright now so I just carry on Mylotting and hope it does not happed again to me. Thanks. Tamara

There could be a couple of reasons why points were removed. Could be one of more of your discussions was deleted by myLot or it could be that you responded to a discussion or several discussions that were deleted by myLot. They never explain why this happens and this has been a gripe of mine. They could send an email to explain the reason behind any deletion. Could be standard form they use with little effort on their part. Don't give it too much thought. Keep pushing forward.

I keep losing money on myLot. Woke up this morning and my amount of money was lower than when I went to bed last night. It annoys me but I won't quit myLot. My choice has been to slow down lately and not quite spend so much time on the site.
9 Sep 08
Hi carolbee, Thanks for your response, its happening to too many people here on Mylot and I have calculated 83 of my points were deleted within a few days, I was mad as hell and I was even thinking of leaving Mylot but no I have too many good frieds here and there have been to many of my friends have gone or decided to to take a break from here, I just carry on regardless. Love and Hugs. Tamara

If you start empty discussions, they get deleted, even this one might be deleted. You don't ask things like favorite color, etc. I have had very few discussions deleted because I tell a story and then, maybe, ask a question. Also, reply to people that comment on your good discussions and reply to people that respond to your comments to their discussions. Don't try and post lots of question discussion, don't try and get posts from Wikipeadia, don't post recipies or jokes, unless its as a point in your discussion. Good luck Tamara

a lot of those light hearted ones are the ones that get deleted, because they are too common. I see people come in, post a bunch of them, then have them all deleted, get discouraged and drop out. I don't do scary discussions either, but I am pretty careful the ones I do respond to.
1 Sep 08
Hi ElicBxn, I have not done discussions for a long time and all I was doing was responding to light hearted discussions and I don't get into any heated debate about religion or politics and I don't ask any questions so I at lost. Thanks for your advice and I will heed them. Tamara

glad i did hon i think i tried to work out how much i was earning post by post and was baffled then i noticed the points thing and just thought it's better to take no notice whatsoever and just do what i'm here to do then either way i won't get angry, frustrated or upset. So thats what i do and honestly it's much more fun i'm on with other ways to make money and keeping this as my little break room or sanctuary lol

Hi Scorpio, Is it really five monthS, gosh how time flies, yes I haven't been that long on mylot then so yes you were not on my friends list then, I was upset though but friends like tatty and littleowl kept me going at the time but therre has been a lot of mylotters giving me encouragement which helped and the only thing that was important to me is not points or stars but friendship fun and laughter, glad you are my friend here and I hope you are feeling a bit better. Love and hugs. Tamara

I have had about five discussions that has been deleted. Three were about te birth of my nephew. I did not write anything offensive. It seems that most of us have had our luck with mylot censorship

Hi ronaldinu, I know you had your discussions deleted, but I think that was uncalled for, there was nothing wrong in that but maybe it was the baby's name I think but not the other discussions, I don't often post discussions but I have been responding to all my friends and to get 83 points taken away was just too much in one week, that was just before paying out time too, I just don 't understand that.

You had 43 discussions deleted in one day. It is no joke. I woiuld feel down too. That's why I have started answere discussions that have been for a while. This saves me from wasting time. Discussions are deleted on a regular basis when they violate the guidelines so its not a big deal that discussions are deleted. Yet having 43 posts deleted is not a joke.

Hi ronaldinu, I don't know whether all those discussions I responded to were violated or its just Mylot sorting things out as its always happens near payout time, and so many mylotters were experiencing the same things, losing their points Tamara

Hi Tamara, That is an awful lots of points to lose overnight, all I can think of is that it is near to the end of the month where myLot make all sorts of adjustmens so it could be that you have 43 comments that have been within discussions that have been deleted throughout the month, I don't know for sure though, but they also will credit account extra cents as you are active from all they don't pay out on these ones so it will all sort and adjust somehow I guess. The most I ever lost points wise overnight was 38 and 33 was from one persons whole discussions being deleted so it does happen unfortunately but may not have been from your burning the midnight oil session last night. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi ellie, Thank you ellie, that makes me feel a little better if they are adjusting for the payout but I still don't understand it, well maybe they are making sure I won't reach my payout and have to roll over for the next one, but its still peeved me off. Love and Huggles. Tamara

Hi neil, I was so shocked and don't know what I have done, I never really go in to any heated discussions about religions or politics because I don't undertand any thing about them and most of my resposed were to my friends, do you think mylot deletes them or I hate to think it was my friends tat done it but I ave got over it now and just keep going, nothing I can do about it now. Thanks neil and I hope all is well with you. Tamara

Hi there Tamara. I know this is one of the old topics you made, but this thing bugs me today - i get posts deleted daily almost and i know i stopped posting in the sure-to-get-deleted subjects for quite a while know. I have only lost 1 topic until now, probably because somebody posted a referral link in it, but since then i started adding "PLEASE DON'T POST ANY REFERRAL LINK IN MY TOPIC" slogan when i start a new subject in the money interest.

Hi elitess, I don't mind you coming back to this topic as it efects all mylotters, I don't do many discussions but I do a lot of responding, I am very careful on what I respon to and yest I get all that points deleted, when I look back through to what I have responded to, the topics ae still there so I can't understand it but I have notice that it always happens near the paying out time so look closely to the time you get anything points deleted. You are most welcome to discussing this topc anytime. Hugs. Tamara

Hiya Tamara, I can understand why this would upset you hun I have no idea why the points would disappear like that, I'm not a bigger user of mylot I only come on when a friend asks a discussion of interest to me but I've only just come across this discussion I had no email notification telling me you had started this which I'm not happy about because I would of liked to have replied to this when you started it.

Hi Scorpio, How nice to see you, this happened in September, everyday my points came down and by the end of the week it amounted up to 83 points, I know I haven't done anything wrong and I've even cecked on all the disucssions I responded and none of them were deleted, so I was at lost to why my points were gone, it like I have been working here for hours for nothing, I nearly left mylot lot but it was my friends that kept me going. Love and hugs. Tamara xxxx

it's that time of the month where mylot usually cleans up, deleting discussions before actual payout is calculated. at least that what used to happen I don't know what else could be the reason of your number dropping, it's either your discussion is deleted or discussions you responded to are deleted

I had lost 14 points when I logged on today, it has happened to me before and the most I lost then was 60 and that was a few months ago. Since then I have not lost any so I was really annoyed when I saw I had lost that many today. It does seem to happen around this time of the month though so it must be a clean up of some sort but I get annoyed too when I have put work in, because it does feel like it has been done for nothing.

Hi gemini_rose, Gosh! 60 is a lot of points to lose in one go and 14 is not much better, I have lost a few points in the past but it give me such a shock to lose 43 points and yes all that woork I've dones seems all for nothing and it made me so angry, but can you do/ but just carry on because I love being here and having fun. Thanks for your response and I'm so sorry you lost out as well today. Tamara

hi tamarafireheart wow that is just too big a gap, I would complain to mylot as it sounds like an error has been made. I have had a drop last night of some five points which here is not that unusual as some discussions do get deleted in spite of ones being careful to avoid any that seem to break mylot rules. I was stuck on one number for about six responses then my points finally did move up.
30 Aug 08
Hi Hatley, Yes it is a big gap and I have not done a discussion but I have just been responding to Mylot friends and Mylotters and it has been all light hearted responsed so I don't understand. I don't gon in for heated discussions so I don't understand, I will get in touch with Mylot and thanks for your coments and your help, bless. Tamara

I normally don't pay that much attention to my points so I am not sure if any of mine are gone or not.. I will pay more attention now that you have brought it up.. I can't imagine losing that many at one time and I do believe that I would email Mylot and ask them what happened, if you can get an answer from them.. I am losing my star rating, it went from a 10 to a 9 without my even being on Mylot.. I noticed it a couple of days ago and then I realized that I hadn't been working on Mylot for a few days due to not having the time.. But the point went down anyway.. I am not sure what happened to your points but someone may be able to help you figure it out.. Good Luck..

Hi Donnalawson, I have had my star rating go up and down and up and down as well and now this happened, I have some help from Mylotters telling me why that happens and it nearing the payout time as well, I will e=mail Mylot and ask why, thans for your response. Tamara

Maby just some of the discussions you've been in have been deleted................... i can say that's a lot of points lost.Maby just some of them were removed or it might be an error in the system.Most sites and links have some kind of bug..least 1 for sure.Bugs only happen if something had triggered them some how.It could of been a bug bug it might of been a misconception.
