Yesterday I had 7.22 dollars today 6.96 What is going on???? Are they hoping I'll leave and not collect my 10dollars that I've yet to accumulate?

I noticed that they've deleted one of your discussions mate! I answered your question "Decriminalise Heroin - Are you crazy", but lo and behold, the next day it had mysteriously vanished from the site. It was a damn good response too in my humble opinion LOL. So that may account for some of your drop in earnings. I wish they'd notify us when a response or question which affects our earnings is deleted! It would only be polite! They do seem to take a rather high-handed unilateral and uncommunicative stance here (no offense to any employees reading this, but it does seem to be the policy!).

Thanks for that... I admit that I lose track at times...there's a lot to keep track of if you get to it lol.....I think it is down to my own frustration that I was getting so little response to such an emotive item. I posted another discussion, probably deemed too similar so they cut it, and I guess I have to say Fair Play!! lol Yes a simple notice would be good. Thank you for your input. :) Oh and I can read your profile now... :) xx

People have been actively reporting abusers and cheaters on MyLot, and this may affect even the honest users as the administrators review the reports. If entire conversations are deleted, and you happened to respond to them, then your credits and earnings will unfortunately be adjusted. I can only hope that this means that MyLot is getting a grip on all of the abuse that goes on here. It will make it a much better forum in the end.

I've noticed my earnings going up, then down, then up this morning (Mon, 1/8). Maybe they're tweaking the algorithm, or just deleting some of the discussions that don't fit in with the terms of service. Which means that replies to those discussions will be deleted to, and users won't get credit for them.

I agree with what the other posters said that this is probably caused by discussions being deleted and you losing your posts. As far as the increase in earnings, that might have to do with the reworking of the algorithm that they use to pay people. Possibly giving more weight to longer responses.

I think myLot are doing some work with their system in regard of old posts and I think that might be the reason we are having drop in earnings.

I have no idea how the payments work on here - given up trying to work it out now and just accept whatever it says but my earnings seem to go up and down quite a lot too.

This is quite an old complaint now, and I was very new to the site. Like you I just take it as it comes now, but it was alarming to see the money drop. I think it was something to do with site tidying up as there was a lot of rubbish around at the time.

Sorry to hear that happened to you. You just got to watch out about what you're doing and if you're following the guidelines, you should be fine.
