Hi there everyone! I am back! but only for a short while...LOL I am still out-of town for a lousy seminar... I am sneaking away from my boss to do mylotting haha Anyway... I sorta bothered with the way my points get reduced... Hmmm I wonder what causes this... You see a two days ago before my absence, I have 149-- I am tracking down my points and I have written it down in my notebook but to my surprise it WENT DOWN to 144!!! WHY OH WHY??? LOL I thought only STARS get to change depending on the quality of your post??? Oh men!!

It means you have responded on a discussion which violated the myLot guidelines. It was deleted and that includes your response. Try to be a little more choosy when it comes to responding to discussions. myLot has cleaned up it's system a few days ago. Stars to get to change depending on the quality of your posts. If myLotters liked what you posted, they will rate you positive for that. You may have written a quality post on a reported discussion. Don't worry, you are not alone. Some even had worse. Just get used to it and move on. The more you'll get frustrated, the more you won't reach your target.

I also think you should get used to it and get move and sometimes some of the discussions do get deleted and we should not worry about it.

I lost some points too and I felt that I must have gone wrong somewhere. But after reading your comments, I have realised that I have to be more choosy in responding to discussions. Thanks!

And also to me. But i read from some discussion here in mylot that this can happen when some of our post has been deleted because of violation.

Yes, I think this is the reason so. But I don't write mine down, so I don't know whether my point drops.

When the discussions get deleted the points get reduced. Try to follow the myLot rules and regulations and this will helps to earn more and does prevent the deletion of the discussion.

This happens at times especially when a discussion was deleted by mylot admin and that also means reduction of your points and earnings, just keep on posting discussions and responding ones, another trick I learn from one mylot user is that, its better to respond to old discussion since it has a very little chance of deletion.

hahahah, well it seems to me that even if i type quality posts and i swear i do, i think, the star on mine doesn't seem to be changing..haha..anyway, i have been in your situation before and like you too, i write and track my points down in a very tiny notebook just forthe sake of knowing my activity...I think the points went down because someof the discussions were in violation to the guidelines...and so if the whole discussion got busted then i guess our posts will be gone too hence the decrease in points...^_^

Yes, that often happened to me also, it is true surprisingly. I wonder why mylot does not send any notification that our discussion or respond violating they term and conditions.

The main reason the number of posts you have made has decreased is because mylot have deleted some of the discussions you have responded to. It may not have been your fault and is mainly down to other users posting referral links or other information which breaches mylot rules. This is unfortunate when mylot do this as it more often than not also reduces your earnings to so you may have notices your account balanced may have reduced slightly. This has happened to me a few time in the past so the only advice I can give you is to steer clear of discussions with referral links or anything you think that might breach the rules. Hope this helps.

Hi , i think it happens to all of us, it is mylot's quality control in place lol - It has happened to me a couple of times. I think we need to follow the guidelines and choose our discussions and answers with discretion and care. One way of looking at it is that it has effectively reduced spamming on this site. Star ratings too change depending on members and how they rate your posts ..

Hello asianwind I think it is probably because of the deletion of the posts you replied. Or maybe we should only answer meaningful discussions, it may help.

Hi there, asianwind! This is one thing that happened to me also a lot when I was new. Ofcourse, now also some of my posts get reduced but not that much. Its probably because we must have written something that the admin says as a violation of the rule. Or sometimes the discussions in which we posts must be a non-relevant one. Now I am not that active on mylot as I have to study for my exams atleast one more month and so hope to catch up soon wherever I left!!

It happens to everyone I think. When the discussions we reply get deleted we get less points. One of the reasons that the discussions get deleted is because some of the discussions does not obey the myLot terms and condition. I think when a person puts links to various websites in order to promote the websites the whole discussion gets deleted. I think the quality of the discussion do matters and discussion with less quality gets deleted.
