The problem in MyLot

Ok myLot has just taken $1 something away from me just now for some reason. Anyway that's like the second time it happens to me. The first time it happened to me I think I know why, because of unneccessary discussions that I wrote. Ok so that I understand.
However, I started writing really good discussions with good content. Now I spend around 8 hours a day writing and responding to discussions with good quality content. Now after all the time spent here and the hard work, it's not really right to take away that amount of money, I mean sometimes we spend hours and hours to earn $1 or something like that for them to just take it off just like that in a matter of seconds is not right. I'm going to keep on writing here and will never let go, but this, what happened is not really fair.
Please give me your opinion about this.

Glad to hear everything is alright now. I have had that happen to me before, the money usually comes back after a couple hours. Good luck in the future.

I feel mylot is cutting off some unnecssary discussions which however beautifully we respond or post qulity replies they might get deducted. So i think it is better to avoid unnecssary discussions till mylot finds a way to tackle them.
i am glad for you that you got your earnings back. I also think that there might have been some technical flaws. Though i feel shouldn't happen. All's well that ends well.

i think you have posted your good responses which are either copies of existing discussions or they are not fit as per the mylot's criteria, this would be the only reason for points reduction as well as earning loss, there will be no other situation, mylot is not your enemy, it is not reducing your amount only, it removes such discussions and meanwhile your posts are removed too, do one more thing when ever you post your response first rate the discussion , your point will be safe then (i hope) all the best to you, wish you a very happy new year.

One thing I never did, do or will do is copy/paste some other texts or writings. All the posts and writings that you see in my myLot, is all me that I wrote. I write myself and do not copy. That how we get better, by practice and doing it ourselves.
right?

Sometimes mylot is fixing the database and this problems may occur. Relax, everything is ok some minutes after. :)
Mylot is really efficient.

Remember, don't respond to other people's junk discussions either or you will lose money when their discussions are deleted by mylot, maybe that was part of the problem?

Yes that's exactly what I was going to say..I don't think alot of new people realize this, and I also think that maybe Mylot is getting more selective of how much they are paying and for what.
I know alot of people are reporting scammers and so Mylot is becoming more aware of the copy and past situation. So even the most honest responder may lose because of that. I've only been here a week, but boy the scams I am seeing amaze me.

Don't know, for my account it's seems fair! I don't know why they stole 1$ from you :D because you earned it fair and square! I love to read your discussions!

Did you write to mylot and ask them why they did that? You should:)

I hear you. Sorry that they reduced your funds. myLot has always held to this mysterious way they determine pay, and then adjust it. I think they would do better if they were just upfront and honest with people. You are correct that you can make a significant effort, and then get paid a few cents. Hopefully others will have more insight for you.

dear friend i dont now that in my lot they take back the money which we have earned so hard just because we have posted some bad disscussion. i think insted of taking back maoney they should slow down in giving earnings or payings and must inform us for what ever bad we posted. or they should pay according to the ratings or should do something like wise. but not taking back.

Man, that must've given you quite a scare! I'm so glad to hear that your earnings were returned a bit later. I'm sure that it was just a glitch in the Mylot website or that they were working on something. I know that I had my point total go down twice today for the first time that I had ever noticed it happening, and it wasn't a good feeling. It only went down by one point and then a couple more points later, but it still felt bad. I guess that a few discussions that I had participated in probably got deleted, although I'm not sure why. Maybe they were one-liners, although I don't post one-liners myself as long as I can help it. I mean, not unless I'm thanking someone for commenting on a topic of my own. ^_^ Anyway, I am glad that you're going to stick around! Good luck earning much here! ^_^

Sometimes, I see many Flaws in this site, and have learned we just need to be Patient. You spend 8 hrs in here a day? Are you a New member on here then? I am Lucky if I can post 30 responses a day and if I am in here more than 2 hrs. a day a lot of the time, it is a Miracle.
