CIAO.COM has closed its doors to Asians..

There are many myLot users who help to keep the garbage at bay and the myLot staff get round to it as soon as they can and so far so good!

Thats excellent ! The problem with those sites was sparing the rod LOL- here thankfully all the members are toeing the line

Hi mysdiandit, thanks a lot for your response, yes i agree with you, it is ultimately the responsiblity of the members to respect the rules of a site and use it in the manner it is meant to be used..I too sincerely wish that mylot remains clean..

Did you receive the amount from Destroy debt?

Hi deepak, it is true, the site has stopped revenue share, in fact, they brought down the minimum amount to $3 and have started paying out to all those who reached the target. I already received the payment in my paypal account...sad but true !

Yes deepak, it came immediately after they announced. I got $5.05 for 6 days, which was really nice ..

Thanks Kran for the explanation.It explains it all though it isvery shameful to know about it.I have posted a few replies there-- some genuine explanations, and was wondering about some stupid irrelevant one line answers and comments.

Kala, on destroydebt the members were typing in one word or a short non commital answer just to earn 2 cents, and these answers by the dozens. the site had a purpose of discussing and helping those in genuine need and the really important discussions got submerged in this typhoon of one word spams..On ciao, they were copying and pasting others reviews or straight from the net, and formed a rating brigade where even 2 sentence reviews were given Excellent ratings by the members of these brigades, and as a result those who took pains with their reviews were just sidelined...so ciao has gone in for this measure now.

Thanks kiran8, I have the same question about what this spamming is, but you gave me that answer. It is a shame that some group of cheaters doing this. But is it possible to block Asians as because of those groups of cheaters? I think it is only their trick to control their payout, is it fair to block all Asians? It is better to block those who cheats! Right? Problems happens in myLot as well, you see so many people post nonsense discussions here, and you can see many replies in those discussions. I think the best way we should protect ourselves from those cheaters is to refuse answer those discussions, or let myLot delete their discussion! If those cheaters are doing same kind of tricks in myLot, would myLot block Asians'a/c or refuse to pay us? I hope all of the admin could figure out how to do with those cheater and doesn't just block all Asian. It is very unfair to sacrifice all Asians from those small bunch of cheaters.

Hi, i think they have left out some spots like Hong Kong, Singapore and Phillipines. I see many from those areas registering on ciao and doing the same job of writing bad reviews and begging for ratings in their mails, so what exactly has ciao achieved - makes one wonder??

Hi pooja, no doubt the spamming that was going on there was getting on every body's nerves. But to ban everyone irrespective of their contributions just because they belonged to a certain region is bit too much..

I was all the way my journey on ciao wondering how are they going to stop the level of spamming the people have gone to. This is the thing they can do the best. Ban the country IP address all together...

Hi pratik, The sites mentioned are closed for all Asians if i am not mistaken.It is a shame for everyone that such things have happened- happy mylotting to you as well

The fact of the matter was that most of the spammers were asians, but there were many genuine members who are all suffering because of this. I too feel that they could have distinguished and banned the spammers, not all..

yes i tis a shame that many people do something like this and it is also a bit unfair to give someone else punishment for someone else's mistake. the sites hsould just ban those members who spam. how can they say that only asians are spammers?

hi cassandradab, where are you from? i think they have not banned Hongkong and Phillipines for some reason....I am not really sure what is happening on ciao, anyway lets hope for the best in the future..BTW are you on the same username on ciao?

lol, i don't really sure just i read this kind of discussion i thought ciao just cleaning up the couch, so they can have the best site though.hey! go out and pack your things out.heheh

really??? it is true or not?. please open up account in myciao please heheheheheeh

It is a pity..

I agree with you wholeheartedly, thats exactly what i was thinking. They should have actually put some other measures in place instead of banning members region wise. It seems a bit unfair to those members who have been working hard on their reviews and contributed positively to the site..

I think that is the level of discomfort and short of intelligence they are showing to us. They can't get a better monitoring system so ban the people all together... But the bad reviews are not just given by Asians, i have seen people there who are non Asians who were writing one liners and asking for the ratings...

Agreed jpso, i too sincerely hpe that they would do a rethink open it for those who were not involved in any kind of spamming and cheating. It is very easy for them to find that out- but will they take the trouble i wonder ?

Yes it is a pity..

I too have been on the site for almost 6 months and i am equally sad at the state of affairs...

Hi inova, thats right , we still have mylot, and lets treat it right and learn to respect the rules and not abuse the site..

yes, because of spammer we got the effect. I think not all asian is spammer, but I understand of their decision

Well said guys!

Yes i agree with you

Same here...

Hi pyewacket, it is true about Helium. I myself have 100+ reviews and a 5 star for rating and 3 star for writing and i was earning well.Suddenly one day i got a message from them saying that members from certain regions will be unable to use the site, and that they will get back to me after suitable arrangements were made ! whatever that means ! and it has been more than 2 months since then..

Hi JOIEMARVIC, lets hope they pay up all the members, i too have some $35 which is due to me...keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi mariposaman, i agree with you, i hope that mylot remains as it is and the admins dont take as you say some drastic measures like ciao and helium and ban all those honest members too who work really hard on their postings..

It was not a waste of time, but now trying to log in is indeed a waste of time..

As you yourself admit, we all know what the admins exactly mean !They dont need to specify anything , it is clear and we not to analyse and take steps to be more hard working and HONEST..

Hi ahslack, i know that many members are feeling bad about the whole thing..
