from the MyLot Q&A on the myLot web page:
-----start Fair Use extract---
How do I calculate my earnings?- Discussion activity earnings are calculated based on a proprietary model that rewards quality responses, relevant discussions and images.
Why do my earnings fluctuate?- From time to time it is necessary for myLot to recalculate earnings for the month to curb users trying to game the system. Our proprietary earnings algorithm periodically recalculates all estimated daily earnings for the previous month to take into account posts that have been deleted in the abuse and moderation processes.
---end Fair Use ----
hah! "proprietary system", indeed. i suspect the "system" looks at the owner's bank account and then calculates the payments that should be made to contributers...
every time i think of mylotians now I think of the Heaven's gate cult that committed suicide in 1997.
so, Terry, what was your story about?
Where can we read it?
cheers,
