This is the common thing that happens here in myLot. Everyday or the other we keep getting friend request or we send friend request. If someone sends friend request to us, few accept it and few have some conditions to accept it. Well, i just accept any friend request that i recieve. Fine, now immediately after you accept the friend request, what is the first thing that you do? I am sure you will check the new friends profile. After that what do you do? Do you respond to the discussions started by new friend, or do you check his/her best responses? Or anything else? Well, i first of all check his/her profile. Then i will see how many friends that user has. Then i will check the number of responses that user gets for each discussions. Finally i just check whether there is any discussion unresponded. If it is there then i see whether i can respond to it. If i can then i immediately respond to their unresponded discussions and try to make them happy in being my friend :)

erm.. first of all, i get approximately about 2 - 3 friends a day.. not to brag.. but i realy thank them for sending request to me.. usually.. i wiill message them after accepting the request.. i want to make real friend with them.. i ask them if i can contact them using messenger or not.. many didn't reply me.. i think it's because they're too into mylot.. and they refuse to chat in messenger..well.. i don't know.. i heard we go get earning if we reply messages from friends too.. wow.. that's cool... sometimes.. when you have too many friends.. it's really difficult to reply their discussion.. isn't it? do you think so too?

That is really great. Do you get so many friend request each day. Well, i dont get that many. Yes you are right with the fact that when we have too many friends, it becomes difficult for us to reply to everyones discussion. Anyway i see to it that i respond to all my friends discussion :)

hi! most of the time, friend requests come from mylot users who have either responded to one of my discussions or those who have started discussions i responded to before. if this is the case, i would approve the request readily without visiting their profile. because i would have already visited their profile page before--- that would be why i would remember certain mylot users. for those i am not familiar with, i visit their profile page first. but i would approve them anyway. i've never disapproved friend request before. ;) when i go to the profile page of a mylot user or new friends in my list, i would check out how long he/she has been with mylot. then i would also look at the discussions he started as well as the best responses he/she has received. if there are topics i'm interested in, i respond to his/her discussion. ;) i would like to note that there are certain discussions i respond to that requires me to check out the profile of the mylot user first. especially if the topic is about mylot guidelines, mylot earnings, mylot friends, quality posts, mylot reputation etc. i would check their profile before responding coz i want my response to be appropriate to the situation of the mylot user who started the discussion. it's the only way to have a relevant and applicable response. so then, i familiarize myself a little about the mylot user. the next time i see this user requesting to be in my friends' list, i'd approve readily without going back again to his/her profile page. :)

Ya, thats the same for me too. The one who responds to my discussion or the one whose discussion i respond send friend request. At times i get friend request from newbies when they dont respond to my discussion. I just accept their request and try to respond to their discussions :)

Hi Mdchennai.. Frankly, I do most of the request for friendship by my own and forward my hand first ;) I think there is nothing wrong if somebody is doing nice here even not with mine. Yes, if I have a request, I first of all go for the profile in order to have little bit familiarity with that person. Surely, there would never be a matter of personal liking or disliking. I will definitely accept the offer! I don't go for how much responses he already has. I think if people just deny the others for that reason, how can he become a big true mylotter to be acceptable to all :) Thanks for a nice topic too.

That is good to hear from you. I too just accept the friend request. I dont neglect any friend request just because they has less response for their discussion. I just look at the number of responses they recieve for their discussions. I have never neglected any friend request till date!

friends - nice to meet you in mylot
Hello,mdchennai, i will accept nearly all of the friend requests and i will check their profiles before i do it,i will have to understand their interests, location and how long they have been a member for, i may also see their discussions or replies, but i will accept them anyway unless it is quite clear that they are spammers,i will put it on hold, i will not deny them yet. Then I will turn on the notify button so that i will be notified when this new friend has new discussions, if they pique my interest,of course i will reply to them. Nice to make friends with you in mylot Good luck.

Thats good easy. Even i accept almost all friend request. I dont even see whether they are spammers or not. At the time when i joined myLot is used to notify all my friends, but now a days, i dont do it. But i should make to point because i miss the discussions that are started by my friends :)

Dont get disappointed for these things. Anyway even if they dont respond to your discussion, you will earn by responding to others discussion and you may get responses from someone else. So dont worry a lot and just keep enjoying myLot :)

Your way of writing discussion is really cool. I liked it .. usually I used to get friend's request for adding and sometimes I used to send friend's request.. but I truely don't understand when a person adds us from where exactly he finds our id ?? from discussions or through search ? Do u add someone through search ?

THanks for your appreciation. I dont add friends through search. As i am responding to some discussion, i come across some people who catch my interest and then immediately i send them friend request. I believe that everyone do like this only :)

Erm, firstly, when I get new friends request I only accept it because I want to make lot of friends expecially on MyLot. After I accept them as my friends, I look at their profil to know more about themself. After that if I think the person is very sporting and I like him/her as my friends, I send the private message to them. I said thank for want to be my friends and want to know more about them. After that, we respond at our discusstion each other. But only sometimes because we also busy for daily life and job.

Well, i havent messaged any of my friends till now. I have replied for their messages but dint message them by my own. You are right that it will be for few days because of the busy work schedule but even then we make a good understanding and frequently have touch with them :)

I always accept the friendship requests that i get. Naturally after checking out his / her profile page i try to answer as many discussions as i can! I must admit that i dont peek into my friends best answer though! one more thing that i do that some may find intrusive is leave a comment every now and then on my friends profile like "how are you doing? havent heard from you in a while" or something similar just to keep in touch. After all mylot is not just a place for earning $$, its a place for socializing and making new friends!

Yes exactly. It is not only a place to earn but also a place where we share things to each other. It is good that you comment on your friends profile and constantly be in touch with them. Even i have seen this. As soon as i add someone as friends they comment on my profile :)

I usually accept all friends. I like to go to their site and answer any post that they make that I am interested in. I will also turn their email on so that I get notice when they post a new discussion. I try very hard to keep up with the people on my friends list. I do not post to discussions that I know nothing about or care nothing about no matter if my friend posts or not. I like to give my friends as much support in their discussions as I can.

I too accept all request. At times i reply to their discussion even if i dont know anything because it would have been a unresponded discussion for days.

I always check the profile of someone who requests to be my friend just to see how much we have in common. I very seldom turn down a request for a friend. I have met many new friends on MyLot and really enjoy the website. I'm sometimes a little slow in responding to the comments people make on my discussions but that is just because I work at home full time as a medical transcriptionist so I go back and forth to MyLot in between typing reports. Have a great day!!

First I check that person's page on myLot and see how many friends he/she has. If the number is huge (more than 100) I'm pretty sure I won't be receiving any answers from that person (it's absurd for someone to answer all the discussions from so many friends). Then, I check out the discussion topics. If they're interesting it means that I'll have what discussions to respond to in the future. But I generally accept friends. I wait for a couple of weeks and if the friendship doesn't work (meaning that none of us has any benefit on myLot from being friends) I just delete that person.

I usually check the profile before I accept a request. Once I have accepted the request then I look at their discussions and responses and also their friends list.

I'm glad to know that are people like you who are concerned with other people. thanks!!!
