I have just gone through some profiles , just a bit curious, and I have found that one person has got at least 4 accounts, same country, different age, different time joined...But they are asking the same numerous stupid idiotic questions about the same things..This is wrong..I will report it, I just want to get others opinions first..This is only one that I have spotted, how many more is out there ? Whats your opinion about this ? Should I report it or not ??? I am just concerned for the people that actually put an effort into what they do in this site...Then creeps come along and rort the system...

Actually there is about 7 accounts that I have found. I got curious too and did some research. I have reported them today. I know who you are talking about. This needs to stop. Go ahead and report them. I am with you on this. If enough report him than hopefully he will be banned. It has to be the same person because all the posts are about the same things..

Wow.. that's insane! I hope I never did answer any of his discussions. But with 7 accounts, I might have! And when their accounts get deleted, our earnings decrease too. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind if it decreased a bit as long as we don't have those kinda users here at Mylot!

Yes, it is disapponting, and ruins it for everyone else..I just really do not see what the point is, if they start all the discussions under the name or separate they will still get paid the same..Its not fun for them I presume its the money factor...

Yeah, definitely. How can people have multiple accounts? I thought we are paid through moneybookers? Isn't it that it permits only one bank account? Does a person have multiple bank accounts for a few dollars?
=)
Yeah, report them, I'm tired of seeing topics without sense and repeating all the time.

i havent noticed a person with numerous account here. but i did noticed two responses on one of my discussions which had the same idea and their username is kinda the same, they had same first five letters in their username. could they be just a single person? i'd hate to think so. but if people are doing what you have discovered, then its getting bad here in myLot. yeah, i think you should report that to myLot.

Hmm.. I am just really curious. What do they get from doing that? Handling two accounts. I mean, they're like separating their efforts for 2 accounts instead of focusing in 1. Doesn't that make you reach the minimum payout a lot less faster?

Hi Calais, I would report it. These people are taking money away from those of us that actually try to have fun here. In my opinion, This place would be better off without those that are just here trying to squeeze a few cents out of this site. They only care about making some money any wat they can. I'm going to start reporting things like this also. All my best, Terry

OK, it tried reading all the comments, but, I've only had half a cup of coffee and my infant was up all night and very unlike her. Anyway, how can you tell they are cheaters. cause they post the same stupid thing over and over? doesn't anyone moderate the site? I've also seen people talking about not getting paid the same anymore.

The pay has dwindled dramatically, We dont know why, but the amount of memnbers now could be a reason, this site was brilliant once upon a time, but there are too many idiots on here now which post absolutely ridiculous things and have multiple accounts..

Well, the pay rate has already changed and sometimes we have to understand that it is much better for the admin to lower the rates rather than totally closed this site because of unprofitability. Somewhere they have to make a good profit or else what's the use of doing business like this. This is a business and because this is a business, it has to churned out profits. Right?
I agree that today, there are so many dull discussions posted all around. Unlike when I started posting here at myLot, it is quite easy to find good discussions to respond to. Or is this not because we are also running out of topics to discussed with? Or people are getting a little bit boring here. Maybe we need to do something to make the site as exciting and vigourous as ever before.
Mylot is a good site, that I am so sure. Although I too make some comments on the pay rates before, but I do understand the situation of the site. And those people who are here just to make this site cheap, beware, you will be banned later.
Raight?

I think I might know who you are talking about. Do they ask a lot of questions about cars and dogs? If its the same one, then I already reported them. I only found three accounts and possible one more. I have to check it out a little further. I just told mylot that they might want to check those people out because I thought they might be cheating. You should probably report them as a possible cheater.

You know , and people wonder why payout is so hard to reach. There are too many fraudulant people here and it is affecting our earnings. In my household there are three seperate accounts by three different people and they all have their own bank and paypal accounts. Those people are me, my wife and our daughter. I would like to see myLot do some house cleaning and get back to what we all know as a great site to make friends and earn money. I would definately report these people.
Peace, Totty

Yes, you should definitely report it. I haven't found any users with multiple accounts before. But then again, I never did get curious. Maybe I should. It's hard enough that people are working hard to earn here. You've got my support Calais! Go get 'em!!

Can you be certain they're the same person? I see a lot of stupid questions on here, haha! But even if it someone with 4 different accounts I think it would be harder for them to make money if that is their intention. I'm not sure if I would report it or not as I couldn't be sure if it's the same person or not.

It has come to my attention also that some shady things are taking place here, Calais. I even posted a discussion about some concerns that I have on yesterday. The guilty parties know who they are and I got an angry response from one of them. These kinds of actions do make it harder for the honest ones of us who are trying to do it the right way. I know that I work hard to come up with relevant discussions. It pains me to see that they are being used by people who are too lazy to do the research. Yes, I would report them. I have also deleted a few from my friends list.

I don't understand why people gets more than one account? It is pointless . I can't even write a discussion more than 10 -15 a day . What can you do with more than 1 account? If you have lots of to write , write them in your 1 account :) Funny

i was thinking exactly the same thing. wouldn't the person like earn faster towards his payout with one account? if he uses multiple then he have to post more? or is it he uses his/her "secret identities" to flame others or reply to his/her own post to boost their own ego.

I'm very new to mylot and trying to learn the ins and outs but I say YES please report anyone you catch doing that!
There are always going to be a few people doing things like this when there is money involved. So what ever the members can do to support the site mangers in a positive manner is a good thing in my opinion.
A business model like this is hard enough for a company to maintain and I'm pretty sure the management will appreciate any assistance.
There are no riches to be made by cheating a model like this but there are certainly a LOT of members that will get hurt. There are many people contributing and it hurts all of them in the long run.
This runs along the coop line in my opinion. We are all a small part of the company in a way. A small part but anything that hurts those running this model will only trickle down to every one that is working hard at making things work.
