Cookie Cutter Comments are Irritating!!!

AMEN!!! He's not on my friends list. I quit going to his discussions a long time back. I didn't notice who had started the discussion or I probably wouldn't have gone this time. Someone did question him on why he never responds & she also received the same generic response. I didn't even bother to respond. It was a waste of time & I would have gotten p!ssed with the response!!!

Hehehe, I can't help but wonder if we're talking about the same person!

Very possibly. He posts a lot!!!

I can understand that a question might get missed quite by accident. But not every question in the discussion!!! Yes, it is frustrating when you put a lot of time & effort into giving a quality response just to be brushed off!!!

Anybody can miss a question, but 3 in a row is deliberate. Especially with the generic response similar to Thank you, happy mylotting. I think it was a few more words than that but it had the same meaning. Maybe I'm being too sensitive; but, if you're going to ignore my response, then why should I use my valuable time & immense energy to come up with a response???

Give me a moment to find it again. You probably won't have to give my name as he should recognize himself. Plus I have commented to other discussions of his exactly how I felt about it!!! He makes a lot of posts for not being here very long.

I was looking for a quality discussion when I ran up on this one. The discussion wasn't that bad. The responses were legitimate. But then the comments to the responses were half-hearted at best. I will skip this person's discussion completely in the future as I was reminded why I had skipped them in the past!!!

Sounds to me that you need to read the Guidelines & FAQs. One of the Do's is Please make sure you give your best effort to respond with quality responses. If you don’t know how to respond to a discussion, go on to the next one. Answers like “I don’t know” or “I don’t care” don’t help anyone and will be removed. Here are some of the Don'ts... [i]# Post "Me Too!" messages; add something of substance to the conversation. # Start a new discussion unless you have something of substance to say. # Start discussions asking for one word answers like “Yes or No”. # Thank everyone that responds or comments on your discussion. This will not increase your earnings.[/i] IMHO, continuing a discussion is NOT thanking everyone but shows an interest in their opinion. It seems to me that myLot pays MORE for quality than they do quantity. I learned at a very young age that quality is MUCH MORE important than quantity!!!

I find that to be soooo freakin frustrating!!! Then I see discussions saying Why doesn't anybody respond to my discussions? Not all of those reply with Cookie Cutter Comments but a lot do.

That is almost exactly what this was. I didn't think much about it until a couple of people asked a question & they got the same answer with NO clarification.

Yes, you are correct!!! The one guy who ignored the questions in the 3 responses I have noticed before & when I see his name as the owner of a discussion, I just keep going. I'm sure others are doing the same thing. So he may possibly be losing MORE by not paying attention. I have noticed that when I make quality comments to quality responses, my earnings go up considerably. So why would I give just a 2 to 6 word response??? I wouldn't.

Yes, I remember. You were a participant in one of the discussions I found to be so rude. He commented to almost every response with the same BS comment even though several were trying to discuss further. I find that to be rude & insulting!!! I know there are times that a simple Thank you for your response is all that is required. However, when faced with a quality response, I do believe it deserves a quality comment in return. IHO, a discussion is NOT me asking a question & you just responding. A discussion is me asking a question, you responding, me commenting to your response with further insight & then you possible responding further to my comment. That can continue on until one runs out of anything to say. I have heard people here say I don't get paid for that. I do not agree with that statement as the BEST day I had at myLot was when I started a discussion & gave a lengthy comment to almost every response. I do think, they all need to be quality responses & comments in order to get paid. A simple thank you for your response just won't do it!!!

I hate to say it like this, but THANK YOU MOMMASAM. I think I would just as soon they said NOTHING. I'd prefer to be totally ignored as dismissed!!!

Yes, that is rude also. Might I suggest that you do as I plan on doing & do not respond to that person anymore. They are only using everyone to make them money & don't even have the common decency to acknowledge our efforts. I would prefer to earn my money in a real discussion where everyone earns well!!!

The discussion was reasonably interesting. I don't expect a response. However, if I'm getting a response, I do expect a quality response. NOT the exact same answer from the last response. If something is said that is not clear & a question to clarify is asked, according to the Guidelines, the owner of the discussion is to respond accordingly. Actually, I did NOT respond after seeing all the cookie cutter answers. I was hoping that fate would bring the member in question to this discussion & make them think. Sometimes newbies just don't know better. I know I didn't when I was new. I'd be involved in a discussion where something was said & the lightbulb would come on & I was like DUH This particular person does it ALL the time & I now avoid any discussion by him. That's money he loses even though it's not much. If this discussion can wake him up & help make him a productive member here so we can ALL earn just a little MORE!!!
