i just open this question and answers page when i saw some members with a lot of post that almost cover the whole page for few pages. i guess they know who they are. the reason why i open this topic is that im afraid to reply to those post they have coz its merely a one liner post only and most of the time those one liner post will get deleted by admin. it happened to me before and my earnings was got deducted for almost 5 to 10 cents the next day only because i replied to those one liner post or those who violate mylot policy, what a waste of time and effort to respond. i didnt say they are not allowed to start their own post a hundred a day here but can they just atleast broaden the post or widen it up by sharing their experiences and example for atleast those members who want to share their idea with it will not get deleted and they will surely earn something from the post than be wasted. what do you think guys. is it spamming? or are they aware that most one liner post got deleted

I am relatively new to mylot but I am generally picky on responding to discussions. I try to really express out my opinion in response to the discussion. I think one liners are violation the rule set out at mylot but I can't say that they are spam.

yes i guess so, but if they cover up the whole page violating mylot is actually irritating, or perhaps they are not that aware nor did not understand what mylot trying to tell about. mylot is discussion type or debate type sharing our own explanation and experience about things and not merely a question and answer nor a survey or poll like post which of course violate mylot. mylot pays us for our ideas and not for our questions

i also got to be so choosy with the discussions i respond to because i don't want my time being wasted. but i cannot say they are just spamming us with short discussions or a one liner discussion. they just seem to be so busy and have a lot of thoughts in mind but they are just people with few words.

yes me too, im afraid of responding those one liner post as i dont know if they violate mylot specially if its merely a question and answer post only. i tend of not to respond to discussion nor post something if i know that i cant support my post with my own thought nor idea as mylot pays us to share our thoughts. besides if i did ask questions about a certain things then its only because i need answer and i only do that once and not the whole page of mylot as i know that some of them will only get deleted.

Now a days i no more respond to such one line 'question-answer ' type discussions, they get deleted no doubt but at the same time the responses are also deleted, it is is a loss to the responder too But there are some members who keep posting such discusssions though some of their are deleted, they play with us no doubt, mylot should keep a note of this and delete the membership.. Thanks . Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

I sometimes respond to that one liner and I didn't know it is one of a reason that we are deleted. Sometimes those one liner are non sense so just tell them to use search engine so old discussion about they inquired will appear. Thanks, anyway... now I know.

I have to admit that I have become a lot more choosy in the discussions I join because I have joined so many that have been deleted

yes me too, i learned my lesson so i will rather want to look and choose which topic i know that i can surely earn something once i respond to the post. thats why if i saw one liner post that is purely a question i just stay away with it and dont want to waste my time with it as i dont know if the post will get deleted the next day or not due to to lack of content. theres also a one liner psot that have quality but i just stay away with one liner for sure.

Yeah, it is probably spam. Some people are only about making money and they end up losing money by spamming because their posts get deleted. I would rather make money and enjoy the conversations i'm having online than waste my time posting meaningless one-liners that no one wants to talk about anyway.
