What gives? I've never seen my account drop, but it did today. Not sure what is going on with that. Was there some strange recalculation that I've never heard of? did anyone else see their numbers go down???

I've heard of several people having their rankings dropped. Does anyone know why this is happening. I did not see my own rankings drop. I'd rather see my rankings drop than see my dollars drop!

I never received a message, but apparently a thread I was on got nixed out of the system and this may have resulted in reducing my earnings downward by about a dollar. So I guess that closes out this discussion. thanks everyone, hope you were not impacted!

Ah... you must have been one of those unfortunate ones whose earnings dropped because you had previously responded to one of those discussions that were deleted my Mylot. They had sent an alert to me a couple days back, informing the members that they might see some adjustments in their account due to the 'big cleanup' Mylot did. Apparently, so members here had plagiarized discussion posted by other members and had used them to start their own discussions. If someone reports an abuse, then Mylot will investigate. And if it's true that the discussion had originally belonged to someone else, then the entire discussion would be wiped out! This will cause those who had earlier posted their responses to lose their points. As a matter of fact, I have never tracked my points & earnings... Don't know if that's good or bad. Have a good day :)

I had a thread asking the mylot community if it was ok to run a contest here, where the last commenter would recieve $5. Apparently it was not OK as MyLot deleted the thread talking about it. - Lesson learned!

Actually I saw a change on the numbers that it gives next to your username. example: princess8280 (199) Mine did say 199 and all of a sudden as I am answering more questions it went to 194. I haven't seen anything with my $. Sorry I can't help.

No problem, I have heard of a few other people mention temporary and permanent changes in their response numbers. I did not see a decrease in my response stats nor in referrals or photos just in the dollar amount.

Glad it didn't happen to you too! its not a lot of money, but at the same time, I like to know what I'm getting for my effort and I like to know that things are not going to mysteriously change or disappear for no reason.

I haven't heard of anybody else's money actually dropping, but a lot of people are disgruntled at losing points. Mine seem to go down by 4 every time I put 5 replies in. I also have received responses to discussions and they keep taking the points off. I don't understand. So, seeing that I was not alone, and there were a lot of disgruntled people out there, I sent an e-mail to Mylot asking them to give me a reason, because I never give short answers, I spend time, in answering to the best of my ability and in detail, trying to help people out, and they deduct points. If they give me a decent reason, I will surely start up a discussion on it, so keep your eye open for Darkwing's next discussion. lol.

I haven't heard of a drop in money, but some people wear mentioning that their's went up by a little unexpectedly today. You might also note that the update time today is irregular, having updated two hours ago from now, instead of earlier like it is used to. Maybe that is something that has to do with it.

I hadn't noticed the difference in update times, I may wait until tomorrows update to see if there is a correction that maybe washes things out.

I didn't notice my money dropping but my points dropped by five. I think it due to answering in some discussions that were deleted my myLot.

Yup, I think that must be it. I noticed that one of my response threads has entirely dissapeared. I don't think it was plagiarism but something else that MyLot didn't like.

Thanks I will do that, I wanted to get some feedback before I did that, but there doesn't seem to be any reason for the drop.
