Hi everyone. Do you people have any idea of when people will get banned in mylot??? What activities make them getting banned?? 3 of my friends got banned by mylot. In that one friend has opened another account and is using that now. He had $30 in his old account it seems. Thats so sad to lose all his effort. And the other 2 friends were qualified for the payout this time. What must be the reason??? They say that they didn't do anything against mylot rules and regulations. None of their post will contain any links and all. Then what might be the reason???

Well, there's more to the rules and regulations than just posting links. Maybe they've done one thing or another. Why don't you check them right now and see for yourself what among the violations they could have done?

Well, I guess there are different intensities of violations. Like stealing and murder. They're both crimes, but of course, murder would have a heavier punishment than stealing, right?

Everyone of us are just violating some rules. Everyone could not follow all the rules and regulations properly. Just check my above comment.

Whatever it is. A prior warning must be given if anyone does any mistakes repeatedly or atleast the reason must be stated when they are banned. Right???

oh, i felt sad about them..I think they should email mylot and asked what the caused of being and what is their violation..If they didn't do anything against the site. They should have the confidence to talk with mylot administrator.

As far as I know, people get banned if they don't use the rules and regulations of Mylot, if they are marked negative and reported for abuse a lot, if you upset other Mylotters with abusive language and so on. I have no idea why your friends got banned though. Cheers and happy mylotting

I think a person has to be widely considered as infamous. If only I consider a person as insufferable, I don't think he/she will be banned. It should be many people's opinion.

If a single member keeps on reporting abuse, is there a chance to get banned????

I think, it is when we create two accounts from the same computer and start discussing and responding in duplicate. That might be one reason. Let us wait for more responses.

Those people didn't do anything like that. Only after getting banned, one of my friend opened another account. Till then he had one account only.

I don't think multiple account must be of any problem here at mylot!! Though we might have multiple account but it's our individual effort which gets paid here. We don't get paid for opening account at mylot so don't think multiple account must of much problem at mylot May be because of violation of rules he got banned.

Hi lovenluck. Multiple accounts is against the guidelines. Its the first one being stated. Lol. The concept in that is, if one has multiple accounts, they can create a discussion in one account and can respond from other accounts just to earn a lot. Thats why its against rule.

That's absurd! Your friend can inquire from the system administrator. That can be solved. It's not fair. After all, your friend might have invested too mcuh time. Right?

Ya you are right. They tried to contact but didn't get any responses back it seems.

I'd say MyLot has become greedy and overconfident since it is earning so much. I had earned around 20 cents five days back, now I go and see that they have reduced it to 14 cents for no rhyme or reason. If this continues I will not waste my time here. There are many forums on the internet paying more than MyLot. Ask your friends to keep irritating the admin till they get a reason as to why they were banned.

Dude, if your earnings decreased then it means some of your posts were deleted because of a violation. Typical newbie attitude, accusing mylot because of something that was their fault in the first place.
• India

I don't think mylot earnings has problems. I just started 3 new discussions yesterday. Didn't post anything else and I was paid more than 30 cents. Mylot earnings will never have any errors. Even for this banning, they will be having some reasons. My point is that they should give warning before banning. Even if the person continues the same, they can just ban them and send them an email stating the reason. That will be a right procedure.

Ya you are right. If they follow the guidelines properly then they will start earning more, after which they will start praising mylot. Lol.

cannot any of you people realize that there are a number of'rules besides the one about referrals, break any of them and you risk being deleted or banned. read allthe rules and regulations. you cannot have more than one account, you cannot spam or scam in the discussions,you must not call one another insulting names.there are a number of things and you need to read and reread the rules and regulations. this applies to all of us.

Ya even they knew the rules and regulations. I don't think they violated any of those. They used another language to speak. But that was not regular I guess. Speaking once in Tamil makes them get banned huh??? Then thats a severe punishment. They should be given some warning before banning.

i cannot sure about this but my earnings are reduced due to the violate the rules of mylot so i think they will ban if we do like this and take all our earnings it a bad news to me.

Hup i cant even imagine mylot banning some people for not doing anything and even i am not even thinking to be banned unnecesarily and we dont have any wayout also..so we need to check out why the mylot doing so..even i believe we can send mylot the various things for why they ban mylotters
• India

We cant say. They must have done something without their knowledge, but they must be given a warning saying that they will be banned if they repeat this. There must be a second chance for them. What say???

hi vidhya, i heard regarding this from my friend. i think creating two accounts can be the reason for banning. other than this i don't get any other reason in my mind. i am not very much aware of it. why don't you ask your friends to contact them and find out the reason. is it possible???
• India
25 Sep 08
Ya you are right. We will be banned if we have more than one accounts. They don't have like that also. I am sure about that. And they tried to contact mylot admin also. But they didn't get any response.

Hi, that's too bad. Sorry to hear about your friends. I don't know why they would be banned. Hope they can find out and get things straightened out. Good luck to you and your friends.

Nope. Mylot admin is not replying them it seems. One friend just got tired and now created a new account. He says that if this happens again, he will just leave working with mylot. We all should help them someway I think. Atleast they should give a warning before banning them and should give the reason after banning them. Right???

i think my lot is regular site and folloes its terms and condition by itself. but if your friends are banned by my lot then they had to be overrules of mylot otherwise i regularaly us this site .this kind of case not happened with me and my frinds so i think there may be the mistake was done by your friend.
• India

Whatever it is, they should be informed the reason for banning them right??? Atleast when they tried to contact, they must be answered. But thats not happening. Why???

Is it possible that they were banned because they had earned more than what MyLot would like to pay? I don't know if MyLot reallypays.i have taken it as funso far. just countingteh dollars as they grow, not really thinking that i will be paid the amount. Can one ask mylot the reason for the ban?

Mylot really pays. That I can assure you. I've been paid. As for banning because they've earned more than what mylot can pay, I don't think that's the case either. Mylot can't pay $30?! But there are others who earn more than that. And what about the number of people who are qualified for payout? Remember, minimum payout is $10. Let's say there are like 1000 members who were qualified for payout. That would mean, they'd have to pay $10,000. If they can pay this amount, why can't they pay for the measly 30 bucks? And I should also mention the custom minimum payouts. By default, the minimum is $10, but you can set them to 25, 50 or 100. Why would they offer such options if they can't sustain them?
• India

I don't think that it can be a reason. If its so, then I must be banned by now. That guy who made $30, made that in 2 months. Making $30 in 2 months is not a big deal here. And the other 2 just got qualified for their payout. They joined this site last month itself. I don't think that can be the reason. And they tried to contact the admin also. But they didn't get any reply it seems.

I am not sure how but they would probably banned because the constantly violate the rules of MyLot. But most likely MyLot must have given them a warning regarding what they're doing. MyLot must have a good reason why they were banned but as for the person who has $30 in his account? Hmmm that is so interesting that person must know the do's and dont's already of the site. Whatever MyLot's reason is, those two persons could try to contact the admin and ask them what's going on.

I don't think that these people violated the rules. Hope you must have read the guidelines. 1) It says that we have to check if the discussions exists already before posting a new one. Are we doing????? 2) It says that we should read all the responses that are given already before giving our response. Are we doing when its more than 20 responses??? 3) It again says in Don'ts "Start discussions promoting a milestone, such as birthdays, anniversaries, reaching a certain myLot rating, etc. This is best celebrated via private messaging with your myLot friends." Again we can see so many discussions like that also. Then are those people banned???? Nope. They are still here. Even I do these. This is not to hurt you. I am just saying in general. And my friends tried to contact mylot admin where they didn't get any responses.
