I don't understand it, a week ago I had like .40 cents yesterday it was .33 cent ands now today it's .28 cents. Why? If anything it should be more since I have responded to discussions as well as starting them myself. Can somebody explain to me what's going on and what am I doing wrong?

It seems that the number of your posts is only 36 and it may be fewer 2 days back. Open your earnings (on top) and check if that 28 cents were for your earnings 2 days back when you have not yet posted 36 posts. If so, you're still fortunate because you earned at least a cent for a post. In my case, I have earned less than 4 cents for 21 posts and there was even a time when I earned 0 for a day when I have posted many. I am not fond of making jokes, etc. so I have not posted foolishly and of course I also don't respond to foolish discussions.
I just received my second payment although it's really a very small amount due to negative ratings I received and my stars keep on going down. Keep on posting and enjoy posting whatever that makes you happy and later on you will find out that you're earning even if so little an amount. May God bless you.

Apparently, mylot is cleaning out junk posts and junk posters. As junk discussions are deleted, so are the earnings you may have made from posting in that discussion.
What you can do to ensure it doesn't happen is make sure you aren't responding to the one line discussions that are obviously made only to up someones post count and have very little in the way of quality.
I avoid discussions like that to begin with, since I see them as a waste of time. And I've had the opposite issue ... my earnings have gone up unexpectedly, more so than usual, in the middle of the day instead of first thing in the morning when earnings are updated. I'm not complaining, obviously I'm doing something right.

You're not alone. I’m pretty pissed today. I had my earnings dropped again. This happened twice this month. Do you have any idea as to why this is happening? I mean I’m doing my best to stick to discussions that I think aren’t duplicates. I make sure my posts are of good quality. So why is this happening? I’ve contacted myLot but they haven’t sent any replies. What do we do? You should contact myLot too. But I just don't know if they would respond to you since they didn't replied to me.

Mine dropped too -- and are you all sure that it's because of some clean up they are doing? Or are we doing something that we arent aware of? Mine dropped within this day like eight cents. I have no idea why... I hope one of you can let me know if you find out why -
