I think this is a bad,very bad joke!What happend here???????

thebest hi this happens all the time. you comment on a response on your discussion, the response is is not relevant and because you commented on the response that is bad you also lose earnings on that comment, the way mylot explained it to me is that your comment was okay but because it would not make sense when the response was deleted they had to delete your comment too,not a bad joke as you still have your good discussion and you will get more responses and you will comment on all the new responses so you will make up the few points you lost.you were not punished and were not reported. when we comment like that or respond on a bad discussion we also lose as they cannot keep our comments or responsses floating in air as there will be no discussion so the comments and responses would not make any sense. yes its fair as we should not comment on a stupid response to our discussions and should refuse to respond to bad discussions.

I don't think the "punishment" is fair... It was a regular discussion about the mistakes of newbies on MyLot.. I think you shouldn't have been punished, because with this logic, every 2nd discussion shall be deleted and punished with the same reason... Oh, wait a minute.. there is no reason!!! Just move on, my dear romanian neighbour and focus on other discussions! Have a nice day!

Do you really believe that the decrease in your earning is really a punishment. The admin has a system of how they compute our earnings. Sometimes, I get surprises from them, too. like a decrease or an increase but I don't know for sure the reason for the fluctuation.LOL Why don't you try to as GAA. Maybe she will give you a minute of her time and explain why.:) Have a great evening, thebest.:)

I think that the "points" you are referring to is the user rating, which is the number next to your user name. When you respond to a discussion that is a violation of the Guidelines and the discussion gets deleted, then your user rating will go down by one if you responded in your own response box and by one if you commented in the response boxes of other users. The maximum amount that your user rating can go up (or down when the discussion is deleted) is two for a discussion started by another user. Also, if you commented in the response box of someone else on a discussion and their response is deleted, then yours will be as well, because your comment cannot stand on its own, since it was in response to something that someone else said. If that was the only response box that you commented in (other than your own) on that discussion, then your user rating will be reduced by one. If one of your discussions was deleted and your user rating had gone up from the discussion, then when it is deleted it will be reduced by one. Basically, anything that adds to your user rating will also detract from it if the content is deleted.

Hi thebest1, Let me see if I understood well what happened: 1. you started a discussion 2. one old user posted a response with a link within it 3. you commented back that response 4. you reported that response as "breaking the rules" 5. myLot admins deleted that response - and, of course, your comment at that response (they couldn't let your comment orphan...) 5. myLot admins sent you a notification about your comment being deleted 6. your rating went down by 1. Did I understood well? If so, you have no reason to feel wronged. Your rating went down because one of your posts (the comment to the deleted response) was deleted. It's nothing wrong or unfair in it, this are the rules on myLot. This may happen to all of us, all we have to do is be more carefull when you choose who's posts you should comment.
