All of a sudden my earnings of 8-10 days old were just decreased. Overall my earnings were decreased more than $1. I dont know how that happened? Does anybody faced the same? What could be the reason?

This happens quite a lot but I think it may be due to some discussions being deleted. You may find that your earnings will increase again before you get paid as myLot are constantly changing them. Hopefully you get your dollar back again and you don't lose anymore money.

This seems to be normal on my lot , someone explained to me that if you have responded to someones discussion and there discussion has been deleted the you will loose those earnings too , I lost about 50c but that's minimal isn't it xx

This is very typical here in myLot. You should have get used with this kind of problems since you've already got 600+ posts. Since I've been a member here, I even wrote down all of my earnings every day as well as my numbers of post but when myLot updated before they pay me. I've said to myself that I wont keep track of my earnings again. After that, it's been 2 months in a row that myLot adds my earnings everytime they update before the payment schedule. Maybe some of your post are being reviewed and doesn't pass the quality requirements of every post or it is just their algorithm errors, I wonder too. Hope they bring it back soon.

I think your earnings decreased because of these reasons: 1. You posted a reply to a discussion that has been deleted. The discussion being deleted your earnings was taken back. 2. You made one line responses or one line discussions. Mylot does not pay you for this. THis is considered a spam. 3. You violated certain rules in mylot which resulted in the decrease of your earnings. 4. Mylot made a recomputation of your earnings and it turned out there was an error in the first computation. Am sorry to hear that your earnings decreased, but you are not the only one who have this problem. many mylot users experienced this. Just don't get discouraged and continue posting quality discussions and responses. good luck.

Hi. My earnings were decreased over $1.00 yesterday also. None of us really know why or what is happening. My number of posts are still the same so I don't know why they took away. Hopefully we will get a bonus sometime later in the month to make up for it. I got a bonus a week or 2 ago and deducted from yesterday. Good luck on the rest of your earnings.

Seems like the algorithm hit you too. When they prepare for payday for our earnigns they loose the algorithm thing to go through and evaluate things again. It is ever changing so you need to watch how it works out over the month. Keep track and you will see how things adjust and be more content. As long as you are responding with 3 lines or more of thought our response, your money should not change too much. This has happened to several people and I have responded to several of these discussions and a few have been deleted.

There are many here who are complaining that there is a decrease in their earning.No body knows why they are deductions in their earning.I think mylot should give explanantin why they are deduting money from our accounts because unless we know we cant help ourselves.

yes i to had that problem. i think my earnings got decreased by about $1 dollar like you. the only reason i could think this has happened is maybe mylot has paid us too much and they are just taking back what is not ours

The same thing happened to me today when I opened the site after 4 days and found that my earnings are reduced by 6 cents.But till now I have gathered only 35 points so it may be the cause of my earning being reduced.I cant help you as it clerly seems that you are in mylot before me.
