Dont know if anyone can help me with this but the other day i reached the magic 200 number in terms of responses to discussions etc. but for some reason it went back down to 197. Does anyone know why that might be?

It is because three discussions that you posted are deleted, it could be your own discussion or the one's you replied to. The reason why they are deleted are simple, could be that the discussion has violated a certain guideline or it is a COPY/PASTE from an original article on other sites. Everytime a post of your's are deleted, you're earnings will go down as well as your ratings (star) and your reputation. To avoid such deletions as these, please do read the links I'll put here so you can be more aware of the guidelines and the grounds for a post to be deleted. http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/457762.aspx

ah ok, fair enough. I think it may be because i have been posting a link to my website quite a lot, would that be it? I have the website address in my profile so would it be ok to say within discussions that if you are looking for any further information on this topic please refer to my website, the link is on my profile page.
