I know that there are already numerous posts from those that have lost some of their mylot earnings. I have also experienced this not only once but twice now in the matter of a few days. How exactly is it that we lose our earnings like this?? Is it when discussions are deleted that we wind up losing our earnings like this? I know that our earnings are subject to chane and i do not like to complain but i lost alot considering. I guess i am just curious too see if i am the only one that lost earnings twice in the last few days?? Has anyone else lost anymore earnings today if at all???

I saw quite a number of posts today saying the same thing, that they lost money. I only saw a few that said they gained. As far as I know, from what has been said, it is because discussions have been deleted. At least 2 people on my friends list had discussions deleted this morning and 1 yesterday. So as they are deleted the earnings are affected. I don't know what advise to give, other than to just be careful as to what discussions you respond to. Even that doesn't seem to be relevent all 3 of these people have high reputation here at mylot. Not sure what is up with some of the deletions. Good luck here at mylot.

I agree that in the future that i will be sure to make my posts more sufficient and be sure to stay away from posts that may also be deleted. I do not want this to happen in the future as i have lost a good chunk of my earnings and i do not think that i should really state just how much but alot for mylot...LOL! God bless and thank you for the advice!!

That is fine just be sure to take others advice so that this will not happen in the future. Try to stay away from what you think maybe a post that will get deleted in the near future as this seems to be the reason for the loss of earnings!

I agree that i also hope that i will lose no more earnings in this way in the future. There are good tips here though and alot of liable reasons as to why we lost some of our earnings. Just be sure to be careful that you do not respond to too many posts that may in fact get deleted!! Good Luck to you!!

Yes I have lost money on mylot as well not only today but before payout. We lose money for responding to the members that are only discussing 1-2 line discussions, we lose money if we copy somebody else discussion, and also if we respond to something that has been deleted by mylot, but I think that they should delete it before we lose money in doing it. Yes I lost over $1.00 today,.

I agree that it would be alot nicer if they infact did the totals daily rather than just before payout. I have yet to recieve my pay out and i wonder if i am also the last one with this also ... LOL! I guess that i have a couple more days to wait until the 15th to see!

yes and I learned that if you talk about your earnings they take some of it away and when you post about it mine have been deleted out. so for now on I dont say my amount or even talk about it. everyone should do the same.

This didn't use to be like this, I have had several post talking about money I made Such as one, how much have you made, it was never deleted, and I never lost any money.. I think you need to contact myLot and ask them, something may be wrong with there system... Will you please add me as a friend and let me know what they say??

I also did not know that this was wrong and also learned the hard way and i have had posts deleted that had to do with this also. I guess like life we just have to live and learn and now we both know better as to not do this in the future ... LOL! Good Luck!!!

I am glad that you have not lost any earnings and i wish you all the best with your mylot earnngs. It seems that the best advice to avoid this is to try to stay away from posting and discussing to something that has potential to be deleted!

Well, i think that my few responses have disappeared but thank GOd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my earnings and star r n't affected. My earnings never lessen on mylot but once, it happened as my 1 referral lost his money. I am sure that our earnings r lessen on mylot when we response to useless posts or if we do n't give exact answer of a question and write something which is n't related to topic. If our referrals earnings r decreased or if we add undecent images then too our earnings decrease. Be carefull about above mentioned things and hopefully, urs earnings'll never decrease in the future.

I am also thankful for you that you have only lost some of your earnings once and that it was not due to you!! I am much more careful now as to what i respond to as i do not want to have to go through thsi again at payout next month!

This question has been asked many many times and each time Mylot does their audit it is asked again. The idea is to post quality discussions. If you ask a question for example "what kind of pizza do you like" or do you like Pepsi or Coke" it is a survey question, or I think Mylot calls it a poll in their guidelines. So, your earnings go down. Your earnings also go down if you responded to a question that was so offensive that Mylot decided to remove it. All the answers are also removed. Yes and no answers do not count either. I have been on Mylot for a couple of months now or a bit longer and have learned to pick my questions very carefully, before I waste my time on answers that are subsequently deleted. A quality answer should be at least three or four lines long and be pertinent to the discussion.

That is awesome information and advice and i will also be extra careful as to avoid such discussions as we all need to live and learn i guess ... LOL! Unfortunately i have learned the hard way amd i lost a sufficient amount!

You are not alone for I do also lost earnings for the second time and I really dont know why. I hope Mylot will explain that to us why they deducted such amount from us.

From what the responses say is that it is most likely due to discussions being deleted. Whether they may have been your own or whether they may have been a discussion that you responded to!

I also lost an amount of my earnings these past two days. My friends told that mylot has been deleting some irrelevant discussions and some radicals posters that try to mess things here un mylot. So I just decided to ignore and continue participating to some discussions. I'm thankful that mylot still does this for our own good.

I am with you on this one i have also put it behind me and i am just focusing on doing my best as to not respond to irrelevant discussions that may be deleted and i have been doing good so far!! Or at least i hope that i am doing well as i do not wish to lose anymore!

4 things for deductions: 1) One of your answers were too short, 2) Your answer was inappropriate or not correct to the discussion, 3) Your answer was rude or impolite, 4) Your question was against the Mylot rules and they cancelled it

I have not done much posting for a couple of days so I would have noticed if mine had gone down. I can't figure the reasoning for this.

Well as most have stated i guess that it has to do with the deletion of posts therefore your discussions also get deleted with yours and others posts that have gotten deleted!

No, you are not the only one. Recently my earning went down and i have no idea why. i always answer people openly, honestly,and with intelligence.

It could be because their discussion got deleted therefore your response would automatically go with it. I am glad that i posted this as i was not completely sure just how mylot went about deleting earnings and thanks to my fellow mylottians i now know!!!

LOL...I agree that it can be sucky but i guess we should also be more careful ... LOL! I agree that it is not fair but in a way it also is as we should not be allowed to keep earnings that are later deleted. I do think that they shoudl be deleted though before our earnings are posted so that we don't feel so badly about it!

I don't think I have lost any points here at myLot.I think the major reason maybe that you have not obeyed the laws which are founded by them.Sometimes it can be unfortunately deleted if you have posted to a very short discussion.

This is why I keep track of daily earnings and reponses in a little binder. Then when they change things with the algorithm thingy it hurts less. They tinker with the money until it is paid so this is common. The algorithm is changeable also so that has an impact on the earnings. Warning too these discussions have been getting deleted. Not sure why we don't get the chance to discuss especially when I explain sort of in their favor. Censorship! Chill and do what you know to work and it will work out in the end.

I didn't lose any earnings in the last few days but it does happen sometimes.. you got the reasons right and mylot declares this clearly in several places at the site, yes it's frustrating when it happens but i also saw my earnings goes up sometimes :) Just try to avoid spam and low quality discussions as possible and don't be tempted to respond to things you think that must be eventually deleted.

I don't know if I lost money because my account has not earned for 3 days straight even if I made some post and received responses. I will try to post more today and see if the payments will move.
