I Am Used To Adjustments Of A Few Cents Either Way But Have Lost $1.50 today?

I know that sometimes a discussion can get deleted and their is an adjustment of a few cents but this morning when I logged in I was at a certain amount and I have come back a few minutes ago and this have gone down by $1.50. This is excessive. None of my own discussions have been deleted so I really can't understand. Has anyone had this happen to them today? I have emailed myLot to find out why but as yet no response. Why do you think this have be such a drastic amendment amount? Ellie :D

Hi Checapricorn, I have since posting discovered that it was my discussion that received 110 responses that was deleted as someone reported even though not against guidelines said it was a rant asthey saw my one saying that one had achieved a hundred. Oh well some people are jealous by nature but at the same time this affected 110 people too, where do they get off eh! Ellie :D

Hi Liuqian, Someone suggested it may be that they have subtracted my daily earnings rather than add but I have emailed and it will get resolved I am sure but not expecting it too over the weekend, I am used to an odd few cents but this is excessive eh! Ellie :D

Everything seems normal with my account Ellie. It is inexplicable why you should have lost so much. I hope that it gets resolved. Fear not though, I'll share if you get stuck. Your half is 68 cents. You could buy a paper with they!

Hi P1kef1sh, Oh that is so kind of you, not a weekend paper I couldn't! A weekday one perhaps though. Someone suggested that perhaps they subtracted rather than added the daily earnings. I have emailed myLot but don't expect a response until after the weekend asking why as this is indeed a lot. I am used to the odd few cents up and down here ans there but this one is a big whammy eh! Not too bothered by it but it did seem very strange. Ellie :D

I AM NOT BUSKING, LOL. Darkwing explained what could be the reason in that they go through all discussions and make adjustments in one hit as to any you have responded to that have been deleted and you know from the banter that goes back and forth in some this could be a fair few posts and then the earnings go back up again as all the revenue from deletions then gets shared amongst the active myLotters. I hope it will adjust soon. Ellie :D

It is very strange indeed Ellie. I am sure that they will adjust it properly next week. Better tune the guitar just in case. LOL.

Hi Tamara, I have discovered what it is now and it is probably down to me that you have lost cents too as they deleted my discussion that had over 100 responses, great, some one jealous of success reported it as a rant, I am fed up at the mo as not well and in pain to sit at computer so probably won't be posting too much for a while just responding. Disillusioned by it all. Sorry, huggles. Ellie :D

Thanks Tamara, I have asked Littleowl and Darkwing to send some too. I can't upset though if I fall behind on answering friends discussions, crazy I know. Thank you for caring. How is your toe, I hope you are still resting too. Huggles. Ellie :D
27 Jul 08
Hi ellie, I am sorry that you are in pain still, you need to reat up. Don't worry about anything on Mylot, its not worth it, its supposed to be fun site,but i know it can get you down sometime because of someone. You just rest and come back on whenever your ready and I'll send some healing t you. Love you lots. Love & Huggles. Tamara

I have no idea but I sure would be very upset. They do things and then don't explain. It is not fair to do something so drastic and not give an explanation. It should be a part of the rules that if they are going to make a change like that that they give us some kind of reason so that we know why. I think we should be told if there is a change in money or points.

Ellie I never had a discussion being deleted and that never happened to me. Maybe you participate in discussions that were delete or is just a mistake of MyLot, keep checking with them and let me know what possibly could be!

I'm not sure what it could be, I don't lose my earnings often and if I do it's only a couple of cents, nothing more. I hope you will get a satisfying answer by mylot soon as I have no idea how to explain this excessive drop. All the best!

That's too bad, some people just don't want others to have good things out of jealousy. I don't know why, I feel happy when I see people get so much responses. Surely I hope to get that many myself aswell, but this doesn't have to get in the way of someone else. We can all have fun and make money here, if we hadn't each other there wouldn't be discussions at all! So we should treasure the people who post quality content and take pride in doing so and who care to respond to all their received responses. Thumbsup for you Ellie! .

Ellie... this is a drastic amount, I agree, but it happens every month around this time, that your earnings fluctuate as Mylot weed out the discussions and adjust the payments ready for end of month earnings close. You might find that your earnings go up again. I've never had more than about 80 cents difference but what happens is, all discussions that don't meet guidelines are deleted, including responses, then the revenue from those discussions is totalled up and shared between the active members on the site. So, earnings go down, and then up again. Good luck... I hope you reached payout without that $1.50 as it can be most frustrating if you lose your payout level through these adjustments. Brightest Blessings. xxx

Yes, it is rather a lot, but let's hope it balances out by the end of the month, a little. It's so demoralising when this happens after all the long hours of hard work we put in. xxx

Hi Darkwing, Oh it hasn't affected payout at all as I'm usually well over within the first week but it does seem a very large amount, hopefully the adjustment share then will make it up eh! 80c is still a fair amount too but I guess the more we respond the more likely the amount of deletions within some of those posts we respond to will happen. Thanks for explaining though how the system works around this time of month, they say you learn something new everyday eh and today I have. Huggles. Ellie :D

Uh-oh! It's the end of the month weirdiness on Mylot again! Every month, since I started, I've seen flucuations in my earnings around the last week of the month. I think Mylot just starts housecleaning the last week cause payday is coming up. Everyone suffers!

Hi ellie333. I have been a little disconnected from myLot for the past 3 days as we have had guests. (Right now, they are at the X Files movie). So, I haven't even been checking my myLot stuff once a day. That does sound like a large amount to be taken. I have to wonder if an error was made and they had to go in and correct the amount, or something like that. Does mylot have a "help" email address that you can send an email to to ask about this? If so, they might tell you specifically what happened. Good luck.

Well, there are times I noticed that my earnings, had a difference of few cents from the previous but it never happened that big amount of decrease? Oh!! well, what I have noticed today when I logged was that my earnings since last Friday is still the same until now even if I had participated last Friday. I suppose to have my earnings adjusted today from that Friday activity? but it is still the same. I don;t know what is happening. I just presumed that things are like that sometimes here.

Hi they work out all adjustments this time of month and I'm sure for you it will shift, any earnings from deleted discussions will then be shared amongst all active myLotters so at least my $1.50 will be in that as I have since found this is because my 110 response discussion for some reson has been deleted. Ellie :D

I think this is a common thing here. I have experience also with that earnings not adjusted in 1 or 2 days.. I was wondering when it happened to me but I never had experience that big amount. Yes, it is better to inquire from the mylot staff maybe the know about it.

Hi Celestial, I have now discovered since posting that a discussion that I received 110 responses to and replied to all had been deleted so that explains mine. Sad but these things happen, I just feel for the 110 that have had cents adjustments made. I have enquired anyway as this discussion didn't violate so somebody jealous I guess. Ellie :D

Was that a glitch of some sort, or has it continued to show that your earnings went down by $1.50? That would be a lot to loose in a day for sure. If I were you, I would want to know why for sure as well, and probably question the owners of myLot to look into it for you. I have had my (number) go down from time to time, and sometimes my earnings just barely go up, but never a decrease. I hope this ended up to be just a glitch or oversite for you, and all things are back to normal. If not, just keep on doing what you are doing and I am sure you will make this back up and more in no time.

I dont know why that would have happened to you. Usually I end up getting more throughout the cours of the day than I started with. I think I soemtimes get a few cents for best response and the like. I really dont know what could have happened I hope my lot gets back to you soon. Tjhat would drive me crazy.

hi ellie333 I am as puzzled as you I havenever seen my earnings or my points go down by more than a fewcents but $1.50 thats'really unusual. I am glad you emailed mylot as it must' be a glitch. now I have seen my points go down as much as 20 but thats due to mylot deleting some discussions but never my earnings. this must be an error of some kind.

Hi Hatley, Believe it or not it was my discussion that had over 110 responses that they have deleted as someone reported for being a rant so it has affected 110 people which I really feel for. I posted one saying I had a discussion with over a hundred responses so someone looked for it and decided to cause a problem, I have made up anyway and am not going to let it bother me but it is sad people have to do this. I am used to the odd few cents here and there too which is why I queried it. Ellie :D
