Good day, becnh83! Well, your earnings got decreased because some of your posts got deleted. It was deleted because the discussion or response had violated the rules. Before posting, make sure that the discussion has no violations in it. Anyway, about your earnings, it depends on the quality of your posts. One line posts will not be paid. Even if you post a lot but your posts are quite short, you will earn less compared to few but long and with quality posts. If you give quality posts, you can receive more positive ratings and the user rating also affects earnings. I hope it helps you to earn more. Enjoy posting!

Be carefull posting some topics a repeated topic created by you can decrease your earning. You must assure that your response to a topic is will not make any violation.
I already experienced it. A 2 cents is deducted on my earning but it is ok for me because i know that i commit a mistake.
And about earning money. Posting response will help, the longer the better. Commenting on response of others will do also help.

Yes, but the first response is the one that gets you credit. As long as you have one response, it is a discussion.

That is pretty normal. I have lost as high as 12cents. It could be from a discussion we responded before which were deleted together with our responses. It's unavoidable. We just have to move on. 4 cents is still pretty low so i'm sure you can make up for it next time. It as nothing to do with the admin not liking our discussions. Next time, just be choosy about the discussion that you will be responding. Some discussions violated the guidelines so they will be deleted soon.

I think that there is a whole section in the faq that talks about how they delete and change threats that are old or aren't considered quality all the time.
I don't know if that's all that handy dandy or not, but it I personally know that in the beginning I posted probably four threads that weren't exactly within the guidelines...
They haven't been deleted yet, but I fully expect them to be.
Does it show in the log when they take money?? Does anyone know that?
Forge on!

well, it may be because the discussions that you are responded to had been deleted... that's why you are losing some points and earnings... it happened to me as well in the past... yes, i know that it is really very frustruating... but there is nothing much that we can do as it all depend on mylot admin... take care and have a nice day...

If you have not responded with a lenghthy response that is in terms of the site, you might get something removed. My other thought, since you are new, is that you responded to some discussions that were in violation of TOS, and those discussions got deleted.

I am sorry, thought since you only have 300 or so posts you might be new. I love it here, and it always pays. The few cents off sometimes get evened out by a few cents added now and then. I have seen it happen.

well sometimes it just happens. we don't really have the exact answer to your question but i experienced the same thing in the past too. accordingly it's because of some deleted posts or responses or discussions you might have participated, so that's it..yes, sometimes earnings here fluctuate also.

Hi becnh83,

You are not the first person this has happened to. In fact several times a week someone starts a discussion with this same question. This is part of the reason earnings decrease. If you had searched for discussions on this topic you would have found plenty of answers by now and would not have a discussion out there just waiting to be deleted for being a copy. All of this is explained in the TOS and FAQs
http://www.mylot.com/o/faq.aspx
http://www.mylot.com/o/terms.aspx
http://www.mylot.com/o/topguidelines.aspx
Check them out.

But how much more time are you wasting by not taking the time to acquaint yourself with the rules? When you make posts or discussions that are a violation you are not only wasting your time because they will be deleted but you are also wasting your money because what you earned will be reduced. It doesn't take that long to read through the information given.

Normally if I participate some time for the day, it just goes up by the next day, I don't count how much I create or respond, when it goes up, I'm hpapy so I don't relaly know if it decreases my earngins or not giving me either.

Now I know why it has taken so long to get my first payout! My rating is to low and I just don't get all that much. Well, I think I better get on the ball and do something about it lol. I guess there must be some in here that really don't like me, so I get negatives and no positives. I haven't worried ever about my rank, but if it means better earnings, then I hope that people stop giving me negatives. I don't do that to them, but I get it back. It just deosn't seeem fair at all. Anyway, I might have posted in a discussion that was deleted too, who knows. I don't get decreases in earning to much, so I m glad about that. I just hope that these people that are gving me negatives will just stop it, as it isn't nice whatsoever, and I don't do anything to warrent getting them either. I still like it here no matter what. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Don't worry, it happens very often.
They must have deleted the discussion you created or deleted the discussion to which you responded. It is possible to delete any discussion that voilates the guidelines. You might check the guidelines:
http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx
If any discussion doesn't seem to go with it, do not respond. It's a matter of wasting time and money. Admins are constantly trying to check who wrote what as much as they can and reward them. However they are also checking if any member has reported them something. Probably someone reported your discussion or admins were just saw that it is violating rules that's why they could have deleted. I feel sorry for you. Anyway this also happens to me sometimes too and i also get really sad.
Keep posting.....

Mylot is of course an interesting place. You should never be disheartened when your earnings go down. We must discuss and respond to earn more. Also try uploading photos.
And just like I said check a discussion before responding. If it violates the guidelines. Don't respond since the posts credited for that will be deleted after 24 hours.
Good Luck!

My earnings are pretty steady and I receive a decent amount when I am active and respond with appropriate answers. Perhaps you should read over the FAQ and guidelines as they are very helpful and might also answer many of your questions as well as help you to maximize your earnings here at MyLot. Best wishes!
