...and there is the official word on my question

Thank you for spreading the word. I have not the habit to delete responses left by myLotters. I only did a couple of times when someone became pretty rude trying to turn a normal discussion into a fight.

Coincidental that you post on this subject after the one (and only) time that I ever deleted another member's comment left on a discussion of mine. This member leaves plenty of comments, very few of which make any sense and out of frustration I deleted one of his comments-ooops!

Timing is of the essence here.

Why I hate deleting things period. It seems like it would play games with Mylot's health support system as a website to live long and prosperous. I post something that is not to par, might be on me. Granted their is exceptions like jackasses but have not experienced it here. I also find deleting posts hurts my fellow mylotters who were brave to comment on a post I am not sure about. Why would I do such a thing. Could hurt their earnings? All tied together and why you do not screw your brethren. Not that I did not do it, just not often. Not saying I will do not do it again, just not often. It is the down fall when earnings are this way, but maybe Mylot was smart and held this into account when they made their rules of how they were going to conduct the payment structure.

Straight from the bugs mouth - so that's good.

Oh wow, I do delete in my notifications though I wait for one hour. But seems to me I need to wait for a while day before deleting it.

That makes sense (and I was already aware of it). Until the counting program does its hourly run and tots up the 'points' earned by a discussion, response or comment, it won't makeany difference to the earnings. It will reduce your post count, of course, but only back to where it was before you posted whatever you (or Admin) deleted. Once the counting program has run, however, and earnings have been updated, deleting a discussion, response or comment will affect the post count but it won't affect the earnings. I still haven't heard any official word about those people who report losing a few cents from time to time. There have been too many such reports for them all to be a misreading of the figures but too few for it to be something which happens to everyone. The jury is still out on that one!

Tally for them is counted just before the earning updates then, no?

I never tried to delete mylotters responses. But it is a good thing to know this.

makes me wonder what if they are paid, then you remove do you lose that earning? or say I wait until after we all get paid for last month, then remove everything from last month, do you go in the hole this month? or once it's paid it doesnt get removed, if ever

I'm not sure I understood the question but the answer is clear.

@JolietJake Same as you, I never put any thought to this before but it is nice to know about it. Thank you for posting this.

Good to know a proper answer!

That's pretty much what I figured.

Very interesting... So let it cook until 15 to 18 past the hour, then zap it... 'cos the money's in the bank then!

Thanks for the information. I have not deleted the responses but edited more time.

Ah, but does the tally change if they are deleted an hour later, or a day later...I know the earning s don't change....

There is nothing wrong in knowing about a site.

Thanks jj for the information. I never deleted any users comments on my discussions. I never felt the need unless the comments are abusive or irrelevant to the discussion.
