Well there are various reasons really. One could be a discussion you replied to was deleted for a violation. Now I know you most likely didn't post to a spam or something, but one thing that happens sadly is people will steal other's post completely and paste them as there own, even a whole discussion. So if that gets deleted, unfortunately so does your points. Another thing is there is a glitch that sometimes gives us points when we should not get them. Sometimes I will get a point when replying to my own discussion. Then a couple of days later that point is removed. I have had that happen to me a few times. I have noticed this happening with as many as 4 or 6 points in one day. That could be the reason. You could contact Mylot directly and ask them what happened. This could have been another glitch. They do return answers but it may take a day or two. Once it took a week for me to get a reply, but I did get one.

I think we all lose points at times when we respond to different discussions that maybe against the rules, like if you respond to a topic that is promoting another paying site the discussion goes and you will lose a point, and their are a few rules that people break I guess and you may lose because you innocently responded but it happens to us all ...just keep plodding along and keep smiling.. :)

This also happened to me but only one time... them i started looking at the other topics and i realized that my topic which was deleted was quite similar to other topics posted weeks earlier... so i concluded that this is the reason it was deleted.... there is no solution to your problem but it continues to persist, i suggest you contact mylot administrators...

"don't sweat the small stuff." myLot is first and foremost a free site where we were just lucky to have been given the chance to earn a little extra just by posting in discussions or uploading pictures or referring friends. so i think, just enjoy meeting new people and sharing your insights on topics that interest you... consider the $$$ as perks, not your primary objective. i'm still new here also but i don't think there are posts being deleted. there are just points being deducted, based on the myLot guidelines. so i suggest you browse the myLot guidelines again so you can stop worrying. =)

Sometimes you answer to a discussion that is deleted later, or maybe one of your discussions is deleted. In these cases the number of posts go down. Usually I don't even look at the number because it would upset me.
