I was just wondering: if private messages doesn´t give us money, why the hell we are asked for tags everytime we send a new private message?! Can anyone explain me this?

LOL No idea. One of MyLot's many mysteries, I suppose it would be. And it's not as if you can search for other people's private messages. I imagine that it's really only for the people who have so many messages in their inbox that they like to keep them organized (so they're easier to find and refer back to if need be) - and so they could search for them if for some reason they would want to. Then again, do tags make us any money anywhere else, too? I've heard many people talk about how tags are just a waste of time in general and don't really do much to increase our earnings. So maybe tags are just a waste of time in general. And another thing - how many messages are you sending out? I send out about a message...Once every 2 months. If you don't send out many private messages, it's really not something that should bother you. And why would you really need to send messages? Hopefully you're not spamming people or anything.

Hi maezee! Thanks for your answer. LOL, I never spam "or anything"! Yes, I have a few private messages sent...the reason? private reasons! :P I don´t think tags are a waste of time. People can use search and bump in to one of your discussion because you used tags, right? Now that I think about it, I never saw the "search" button...lol

Oh, thanks! But why do you find that very usefull? I mean, when trying to answer, I do two things: I first search in "no responses" section; then in "my friends started discussions" and then in "new user" because i want to help them the same way I would like to be helped! (ok, three things..LOL)

We do not earn cents for sending Private Messages BUT they can help you avoid losing earnings and time. If you have a query about something, rather than start a discussion which could be a violation (for example regarding something already covered in the FAQs) it would be more worthwhile to send a PM to a friend who might be able to help as starting a discussion which would be deleted later would cause loss of time and earnings for those involved. Tagging PMs IS useful to some. I use PMs a lot and for different reasons with different friends. If I tag a PM I can then find it much quicker later. The tags are only visible to the two users involved in the PM as they are absolutely private.
