I monitor my earnings daily from the first day that i've joined and until now. i even wrote it everytime mylot upgrades. I have $18.18 last night then when i logged in this afternoon i have $18.14, and i was shocked I've been decreased by atleast $0.04 cents. and then when they upgraded today I noticed that i have 19.45 but then they've changed it again to $19.42 after a while??? So i checked my earnings since november and found out that they changed it really from the first day that i've joined. Some of my discussion earnings had been decreased and some had been increased. Why is this so? Can anyone explain? Had you experienced this too?

I have had the same thing happen to me, and I don't know why. I also answer a discussion, and don't even get a point for it, or it goes backwards. Wish I knew the answer too.

You usually get credit as you make post... when they see a post that is not worth their pay then you get decreased when they see quality post you get more.. from what I get from the guidelines

Sorry about that. I checked mine too after reading this thread and also I found out that my earnings decreased too last November by $2 dollars. I wonder what happened. I think I had some post responses lately that have been deleted, I know 2. I will go check each of my discussions if I have some that have been deleted.

That is strange and I'll have to keep an eye on my earnings page. I did notice that the amounts didn't seem to add up correctly the other day, but then it was changed so who knows what's going on??

Yes, i have happened the same thing with me yesterday!!! It was quite a disappointing experience. My earnings went upto 35.17 and suddenly, after 2-3 minutes, it decreased again to 34.23???!!!!
Extremely dissappointed by that!

i think it has something to do with the upgrades they did. i did receive an email that unrelevant posts or even replies to irrelevant discussions are being deleted. this on turn decreases your points. i'm just not sure if this will affect your earnings though. i deleted that alert already so i cannot double check.

Why dont you contact the MyLot administrators and ask them the real reason for this? It worries me that thies is happening. Its not huge amounts of money, so it might be due changes in the algorythm. If they answer you please let us all know! OK?

It happened to me, too. I think we lose earnings when our posts gets deleted.
Di bale. Magbuo na lang tayong mga Filipino ng grupo na magsasagutan ng mga posts.

at first, all i really do is post as many as i can and i'm sure it's all relevant posts :) maybe that's why my rating reached only $18 :) since one of my friends done some tricks and was able to earn more than that, he's at his $30+ now with only under 200 posts i think :)he uploaded images as he can, he says and has about 30 referrals but then only 5 are active. he was blessed really :)

I haven't had anything of the kind happen to me so far. There was an alert from myLot that they are changing their algorithm, and I think it has all been for the good. A change of a few cents is something we can all live with, because when I joined there were a lot of stupid responses, like "Dunno" "Me too" etc. which have now stopped and I think that this is for the better.
A loss of a dollar, that would be worrying, contact myLot if that happens to you ...

yeah i only earned $18 for my 390 posts 2 days ago and not my 432 points as of now, they'll be updating later that's the time i'll know if my earnings added a cent again. although cents doesn't really matter because all i can buy for that is a piece of candy. all clear now?
