oh my god, My ratings went down this is so weird

Yes mine dropped 4 points for posting one response. I hoped it would go up but instead it dropped lol. Does seem kind of backward...

I'm not sure why people are worrying about ratings. They arn't that important. If your earnings were going down, then you'd have cause to complain....

I haven't really been paying attention... thanks for posting this... I will now.

well thats really bad to hear but i think.They are cleaning up just to make sure this site looks good.Some people just make up their post count to increase by posting something like one liners which are not able to answer people's question too. I dont what went wrong with your post.But dont worry keep contributing you will reach 1000 mark soon. As i can see you already have crossed that 900 mark again.

this is not a good thing,,try to contact them,,

How many times have I responded to this question today? It seems almost all of the members of this site are having points deducted for some reason or another. One guy lost over 400 points and ended up with 2 by his name. That's diabolical! There's one guy who actually lost dollars, and a few who haven't received any e-mail alerts for three days. Anyway... I've answered loads of questions, and am still on the same number of points I was on six hours ago, because every time I put 5 responses in, they take 4 out. So, I wrote to Mylot and asked for an explanation as to why they're doing this because my answers are always detailed and quite lengthy.. they pertain to the discussion in hand, and I can't fathom it. When I get a response from Mylot, I will start up a discussion on their reasons, so watch out for Darkwing's next discussion.. it could be interesting. :-)

I wouldn't be too alarmed by this. I've read many posts about this today and it is happening to many people including me. This has happened before and I think it's just a glitch with mylot, the good news is that it hasn't been affecting earnings at all.

Even same thing is happening with me ... My more than 120 points have been decreased in just 2 days but good thing which I see is that its not affected the earning and I hope that even in future is doesn't affect the earning.. Lets see how soon does this problem get solves...

Yes, the same thing is happening to me. This is very annoying, and MyLot never responds when I e-mail them so I am not bothering this time. I think I might give up on this mylot thing, it's just gegtting on my nerves lately and not worth it.

I've noticed that happening as well. But I don't think your rating is interchangeable with your earnings. I hope not because my ratings went down the last couple of days. I haven't noticed my earnings going down though.

It happens because of bad discussions and posts read the alerts they send it explains

I have had the same thing happen to me today but it was only two points but really, should we get punished because someone along the line posted a bad answer when they remove it formt he site? i don't think it's fair because I onnly give good answersd and ohhh, it's really annoying that i lost those points,, i was on 100!!!

I have lost points too, however my earnings remain as they were before I lost the points. Here is what I believe is happeneing: I lost points that were equivalent to the amount of responses I had give to several people that started discussions using articles they had stolen and plagiarized from other sites, and had failed to properly credit the original site and author. I reported these individuals to myLot administration ("!"). Since it is illegal to plagiarize and engage in copyright infringement, myLot has made that an important writing rule on this site, so, they do not tolerate it. These individuals had their accounts deleted by myLot as a result. So, when someone you may have responded to loses their account, your responses are no longer there, and so the points are reflecting that. But, like I said, the earnings remain. I am pretty sure this is what is going on. If discussions are deleted for whatever reason, your responses are no longer there; and therefore, your points will begin to fluctuate as myLot starts cleaning up the site and removing those that do not follow the rules.

about thar i agree with you

Haha buddy get used to it It has been happening with me since days i think mylot is cleaning the house or they are in a process of upgradation So its better you respond to the meaningful post as then there are less chances to get disappointed In the evening my posts were 5021 and then it changed to 4992!

I have not been able to make it to 2800. Everytime I start getting close, my Rating drops as well. Not sure what is going on here, but so far my Earnings have been affected so I guess we just wait and see if their is some explination unless they have been removing Topics which they felt did not fit the myLot rules is why our Ratings drop?

mine also drooped a lot

DONT WORRY DEAR. I HAVE RATED U POSITIVE. I M SURE OTHERS WILL ALSO DO THE SAME

i hear of other people who this is happening to, so don't worry it is not only you, but others too. keep posting and maybe it will go up again

I didin't experience it. I still have a few discussions posted. But I'd read some of them experienced fluctuations. I don't know, should ask myLot,maybe..
