So I just tried to search for something here on myLot and a message came up saying 'We have noticed some suspicious activity for this account. Please try again later.' I have no idea why it did this and now I can't search for anything. Has anybody else had the same experience?

No, I don't have such problem though. Maybe it was a glitch from the system problem. You may want to ignore it. Keep on responding and posting here. Sometimes, I bumped into such problem as I can't post any discussion or respond any of the discussion here. So, wait for a while, let the administrator repair the problem, you will be able to do whatever you intend to do again.

Hatley is right, it's not a glitch. Users can be banned from the site if they get this message too often. From my early experiences with the search engine, this warning comes up if you do meaningless consecutive searches. If you search with responsibility and go through the results that you are interested in, then you might also be rewarded for those searches. But please be careful and stop doing searches when you get that message because it is considered as system abuse and it might cost you your account in mylot.

raine do not listen to the glitch people as ignoring this and trying to go on could eventually make you lose your account. this message pops up if they think you have been on the serach engine too long as they feel you are staying just to get a reward so do p ay attention to the warning. some here have not and lost their accounts. the awards are very random so you could be on for an hour and not g t a reward for maybe three months.,do pay attention to the warning and wait maybe two or three or four hours later. this is a my lot admins warning and not a glitch and if you buck it you will lose your account. I have been here five y ears so I do know most things my lot here.

raine i know but they use software and as explained to me when they give you that suspicious activity things the software thinks you are ":gaming the system" thats how it was explained to me.what you can do is go back maybe an hour or two later and you should have no trouble.I have had it happen to me too. most of
us have and believe me its not glitch.some have received this often and then just lost their accounts. I am not s ure if the info is in the guidelines or in
the FAQ's but its in one of them so you can check on what I am saying. It irked me but I did listen and came back later and had no problem.

Thank you but I don't understand. How can me being on a search engine get me into any kind of trouble?

I had never experienced this. Maybe, you had used the search bar more often that it became suspicious. I am not so sure but I think I had read about it in myLot guidelines that we should not use the search bar much just to earn additional cents. It tends to be abusive, according to the rules.
Maybe and Hopefully you can use the myLot search bar again tomorrow. Just do not overuse it.

I'm new to mylot and have not used the search engine you are referring to. I thank you for starting the discussion because I have learned a lot from reading over the responses. I would first believe that it was a warning before I would believe that it is a glitch in the system. However, if I kept getting the message randomly I would probably try to ask the administrator of the account what I was doing wrong to cause the warning or the glitch.

I have never had this problem, but it sounds like a glitch. I would've tried refreshing the page and if that didn't work then I would log out and retry it.

I've never experienced it, but try asking the administrator or try to repeat the process again and again
things like that are usually done by yourself, no need to worry

One way you can earn here in mylot is using the their web search. Actually i rarely use it. But i know that one of their policies is not to abuse it or something. If you do, well, you'll get a warning from them.

This happens because it looks like you are abusing the system to get more earnings. It happened to me. Here is a discussion I found on it. www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2633433.aspx As it says here wait for 24 hours before using the search again. If you get one or two rewards in a day you should wait for 24 hours before using it again.
