My earnings was deducted???

My earnings was updated just a few minutes ago. It is always my habit to list down my earnings everyday. But when I checked on my earnings, I was very surprised to see that there was a deduction of 1 to 2 cents for each day of my earnings from March 1 to 21. I do not know whether to laugh or to be irritated. Has something like this also happened to you. Kindly tell me I'm not the only who's having this deduction problem or is it just my eyes that's tricking me?

I lost 50+ cents today. All I did was to go for my dinner and they have to charge a 50 cent dinner tax. What is this man, we can't even go eat now?

That has also happened to me too. Last month Mylot gave me an added bonus for some reason or other, but then a few days later, I also lost earnings. I guess it is from deleted discussions or posts. I write down my earnings every day also. I try to keep track of what I am making and what I am doing each day to get those earnings. I try to do a mixture of things here, so I can see what works best for my earning totals. This morning my earnings have went up about 20 cents but not all at once. I'm just wandering if it will go back down later. It is very possible. I just try to do the best I can here and hope for the best in my earnings each day. Good luck to you also and I hope your earnings go back up soon.

You sure are doing a lot of work, steph. I just list down my earnings but I never keep track of the number of posts I'm doing everyday. :)

I haven't watched close enough to know if my earnings were deducted at all but mine haven't been updated since the 20th... opps cancel that - they just updated... I do think there are some things going on such as a lot of discussions being deleted which would mean if you responded to one of those then your earnings for that discussion will also be deleted. One thing I seem to be seeing is a lot of discussions such as "I just reached 100 posts" or "I just made 500" are being deleted so I am no longer responding to anything like that - discussions that hundreds of people are posting.

I read that in the rules when I joined - they say no posts to celebrate milestones like number of posts or such a thing. I guess becuase it's not 'true' content, but just inflating posts.

Thanks, I did read it a while ago. We should be more selective in what topic we're responding.

I recently disovered that responding to discussions about reaching a certain number of posts is against mylot rules. I had contacted mylot and am still waiting for them to reply back. :)

I've heard a lot of people talk about similar things but I think it deducting that everyday is just outrageous. You should definitely ask mylots why it is happening! I should start keeping an eye open for that!

Oh, I did not realise it. I only remember big figures. If there are any deductions, it was not attractive enough to catch my attention yet :p

Yup, it has happened to me too today (the first time it has ever happened to me *sigh*). It wasn't much, just a measly 2 cents, but given the slow rate I'm earning ... :P The biggest problem isn't the 2 cents missing but the reason why they are missing. I wonder have I done anything wrong? *sniff sniff*

It happens from time to time. I don't keep close taps on it but I noticed sometimes the earnings get adjusted up or down. We don't know the algorithm that Mylot uses. Also if they have removed a discussion to which you responded the answers go with it and the earnings go down.

That's what happened to me a while ago, linda. I do not mind if a cent or two was deducted. I just like mylot to explain to me clearly the reason for the deduction. I think they are checking on our responses everyday and trying to clear out some topics that are against their rules. LOL, this one might be wiped out too.

Why does mylot give then take away...waaaahhh! OK I'll stop my drama now and go check my earnings, maybe I can spot the difference..let's see! It looks like cents have been deducted charms, another friend found the same too.

My earnings were going up and down just about an hour before they were updated. They were also a bit late being updated. When I opened my earnings page the earnings were changing for the last few days as I keep a note of them on a piece of paper on my desk. The outcome was good though. I think I got an extra four cents. Hmm...I hadn't budgeted for that, so I wonder how I should spend it...lol.

I have never had my earnings deducted, but I have heard of it happening to other people. Apparently it has something to do with putting in illegal photos, or discussion. There seems to be debate about what My Lot admin don't allow. It could just be one word in your discussion.

I did respond to some discussions from my list of friends that I didn't know was against mylot rules. Thanks for the input, jenny.

It happens a lot to just about everyone. They go through and delete all the discussions and responses that they think are non productive. My earnings went down yesterday too. It wasn't by much but it was noticeable. Just make sure you only reply to good thought out discussions or they will get deleted.

You have posted this discussion three months ago but I'll just be able to respond to it today. This also happened to me some times before. I guess some of my posts or even my responses were deleted for some violations. The first time it happened to me, I really feel sad. I can't understand why until I've read the answer to a certain discussion posted by one of the member of MyLot. Now I understand that our earnings are not yet final and could be change anytime as it's updated everyday.

Our earnings can fluctuate from time to time. The earnings are updated in an appropriate time before. Lately, there seems to be no permanent time setting for updating anymore.
