I dont really know how mylot's eyes categorize discussions. I've seen some of my discussion deleted because it is being reported as a poll type discussions. Like the internet activity and pizza preferences. Whew! Maybe this is the reasons that my rewards for wednesday is gone. LOL! Could that be the reason? Gone rewards due to posts being deleted? But i swear i saw some posts that sounds like mine but it is not being reported? Why?

Firstly there are times when discussion appear to us as if they are polls and they do not get deleted yet as you mentioned your have. It is how they are phrased. If you re-review the guidelines it specifically says do not post discussions that lead to a yes or no responses.
So asking your favorite pizza would be a poll as to who likes what. it is how you work in your discussion questions. As for Wednesdays earnings I believe something is wrong on admins end as I see many discussions where no one has been updated, including mine, so it has nothing to do with your activities yesterday, perhaps myLot admin took a day off or servers are down for some reason. Give it time and I am sure admin will send out some form of global notification.

Maybe this will help I just re read, I do this weekly so I continue to get a better understanding
Start meaningless discussions or give meaningless responses to try and boost your rating. Discussions like “What’s your age” will be deleted as well as short responses like “ok” or “no”.
#
Post jokes, recipes, etc. as discussions. This is a form of abuse and all recipes and jokes will be deleted if they are started as a discussion.
#
Start game and poll type discussions. For example, discussions like “How old are you” or “Let’s see how high we can count, I’ll start with one”.
You see what type of pizza or food would fall under this
It is not always clear but if you review the notification about why it deleted and compare to the guidelines it may give you a better understanding.
I hope this helps

Ok i got your point, thanks for the insights. So asking what type of pizza or your pizza preference sounds like "Let's see how high we can count,I'll start with one"? But what about asking "What is your favorite passtime" then start with the starter's passtime? then the rest answers their own favorites? Does it also falls under these category? So my favorite internet activity sounds like a poll discussions? A game? But the favorite passtime is not? I dont mean to involved others who had posts that sounds exaclty like mine here. I just wanted to know how the eye's mind work. So that i will not post discussions that will be deleted. It doesnt really matter if it is deleted i'm worried for the other's who had responded it. I might be one of the factors that their mylot reputation or rating goes down (if ever it goes down) because they happen to answer or share their favorite internet activity and share their favorite pizza flavor as a response to my discussions.
