My total account balance went DOWN?

Hi there and sorry to hear of the fluctuated earnings. This is why it so important to learn the guidelines inside out. Each time you respond to discussions the guidelines should come to mind. What happens is that at times we enter discussions and they later get deleted. This causes our earnings to fluctuate. As per the guidelines myLot members who have a decrease in earnings have had one or more posts deleted throughout the month. The main reason for this could be that you started a discussion that violated our guidelines or terms , that you responded to, or commented on, a discussion that violated our guidelines or terms It does not mean you abused anything just that at times posts are deleted. You should check your email address where notifications are sent. Any deletions causes for recalculations. http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#17

hi webcodez the surest explanation is that you just like me were unfortunate and responded to some discussions that had broken some rule so were deleted. as our responses were on those rule breaking discussions so we all lost earnings. we all need to go check on the guidelines again to really know the rules and avoid losing our earnings. it happened to me too and I am an old user here.'so webcodez I should have known better. one clue is some do answers at all so check those carefully for rules that may have been broken

I am actually not sure how Mylot indeed calculates earnings. I finally thought it boiled down to about 1/response. But I have often found that does not add up with total responses and/or posts: If I posted 11 responses and none of threads is deleted, I expect to see my earning up by 11 on the next day, but that is not the case. I do not know about Mylot. I am mostly on Mylot because I enjoy sharing and reading views of others.

it happens to me before. in my case, the discussions that i responded to was been deleted by admin, so my response was deleted too as so to my earnings went down also. try reading the discussion guidelines and the faqs. if things are still not cleared to you, try contacting the admin. i think topics like these gets deleted too. i've learned my lesson now. i'm telling you, so you can avoid it too. happy mylotting!

Some of the threads get deleted, and that means they have to deduct the amount from you. I think you have to read the TOS carefully, and avoid those topics that clearly violate the TOS.
