Where did my earnings go?

I have not been on this site in awhile as I just have not had time. Now that I have comeback I have noticed that my earnings are set back to zero. This is rather disappointing to me. Can anyone please tell me why they have been deleted? Is it because I have not been to the site in awhile?

Well can you define awhile? Because I recently just joined myLot and hearing your earnings were deleted is sort of frightening. I would not like it if they decided to wash my participation away, just because of inactivity...

The question still remains - How long were you absent here

According to the Mylot Terms of Use if you do not login to your account even once over a period of 90 days , i.e , one month , then your earnings will be forfeited . It is not necessary to take part in discussions or perform any tasks . But you are required to at least just login once within every 90 days .

money burning - sometimes when we loose money so easily it feels like its just burning away
I think this may have happened to me too. However I had just cashed out and then only made a few earnings before months of inactivity. I just assumed that I had no earnings. Now that you mentioned it; it must have been wiped clean due to inactivity. At least it was not very much that I lost. I hope you did not loose very much in the way of earnings. I'm very glad I noticed this post and I will definately read the FAQs. btw I your avatar. I love my little ponies.

I don't think I lost too much money, maybe a few dollars. Right now I'm still debating whether or not I'm going to try to earn it back. I love My Little Ponies too. My daughter and I collect them together although now she is getting older and has lost interest in them so our collecting has slowed down quite a bit

You will loose your total in your account if you don't at least log in every so often. I had problems for awhile and couldn't come in here everyday to work the site. So what I did so I didn't loose what I had already earned is log in at least once a month. I did this with other sites with similar rules. I learned the hard way in another site... so now I read to find out if I can't get online for along time will it affect my account. It is a good idea to go over the FAQs of any and all programs you are a member of or are thinking of joining, so you know how they work.

I did read the FAQ ages ago when I joined, guess I just forgot them. It's not a huge deal as I think I only had a few dollars anyway.

The answer to your question is in the FAQs. If a user is not active for at least 90 days, his/her earnings are forfeited. You don't need to post anything here during those 90 days, it is enough if you only login myLot once in a while. Here's the link to the explanation myLot gives us about this matter: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#21

According to the FAQ (http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#21) if you don't log in to your account at least once for 90 days your earnings get forfeited... so yeah, I'd say it's because you've been inactive indeed. Hopefully it won't take you long to get your earnings back, good luck and take care!

All the other users have pretty much said what will happen when you are gone for awhile and not active. I really don't have all that much to add to it, except that if you don't want to lose your earnings then you need to log ine at least once in 90 days. You really can't blame mylot for what happened, as it is in the terms of use, and if you read them you will know what you need to do in here in order to earn, and also what you can and can't do in here. It shouldn't take long to get your earnings back, so just hang in there and you will do just fine. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

You just have to be online at least within 90 days, so that's going to be fine if you're truly busy., being absent for more than 90 days then you will definitely loose you're earnings.

I'm sorry for that Breezie I was out of here for 3 months, but i was checking what happens around, without writing. It was not because of that rule where your earnings are deleted, it was like .. i always wanted to find something interesting to write, but couldn't find it, couldn't find interesting discussion and just leaved. I hope that with that 9 rank, you will do all you have lost really fast
