Starting Discussions with abandon...

Me too feel the same like you. Sometimes we wonder why they do so, but the one and only answer is absolutely they will earn more money but this will be true if only they answer to every comments by the other members.otherwise they will earn nothing.It just a bit annoying when they get many responses they tend to reply back with just a short sentence, 'me too.thanks for sharing your idea.' I hate that stereotype and typical answer.But never mind perhaps they just too tired after replied other comments.But I have seen someone here who start discussions( many) and then leave it like that.No answer or anything.Sometimes I keep answering and stated there, 'would like to hear your opinion', yet still no answer.What's the point of creating discussion without replying back to others answers.Fine,go ahead.I am glad I earn from it while it is up to them to reply the response or not.

I understand a lot of the mylotters want to make more earnings that is why they keep creating discussions, I sometimes do that too but I do follow up with my discussions and comment back to the interesting responese.

There users just wanna earn fast without working on and taking care of their discussions. They think they'll earn something out of it but they won't. And most of the time their discussions get deleted and that will also cost them some cents from their earnings. I suggest you just ignore these discussions. It's not worth your time responding to them.

Yeah I do in fact notice that as well. Really, they are just hurting themselves. Don't they know that they are going to be losing out on some money by commenting on the responses. I think that I try to respond to everything, every response when I can. I think that helps increase the quality of the discussion. It also might encourage people to come back and respond on future discussions. Hence the reason why I don't make any more then three to five discussions a day. There are times where I might fall a bit behind but I catch up as soon as possible.

I do start discussions and take some time to get back to all of them just because i like to answer to everyone who was kind enough to participate giving a personal reply to everyone. I take time but I always come back cause I'm not only making questions to receive money but I really wanna know the answer and discuss, so there are many days I don't ask anything, cause there's nothing I wanna know :D

I have seen many people just start discussion after discussion just to create few discussion but most of them gets deleted it is mostly done by user who are new to mylot and haven't read the tos carefully but if some one want to create suppose 5 quality discussion at one go then who can stop them

shattered I have an idea that a l ot of newbies do not know or refuse to believe us that they will make a fortune on all our responses. they' think that they are paid for our responses which is utterly wrong. we made the responses so we get paid for typing them. they have to comment back on all the responses on all the discussions or they will not' get paid one red cent.Us older users have tried to make them believe that they do not get paid for our responses but I really feel they still think thats all they have to do is just make a whole bunch of discussions and wait for the money to roll in and never go back to their own discussions which is sad. they will not earn, will get angry and leave and they did it to themselves.I keep trying to remind people that it is your comments to the responses that will earn you money and keep a discussion going.

I have seen this many time as well. I usually don't respond to ones that just keep posting one discussion after another, as I know they are only here to earn, and not really learn a thing. The sad thing of it is like you said, is that they don't follow up by commenting back, and in my opinion that is very rude. If users can take the time to respond to a discussion, then the discussion starter should take the time to comment back, and besides that is the only way they earn. I get tired of seeing it too, but I feel that if they don't want to earn, then it is on them, and not me, as I do my part whenever I start discussions, and basically it should be expected from all of us. Now there are some that can't comment back right away for one reason or another, but eventually the do, but the ones that don't are only hurting themselves. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Yes I saw many discussions here started and never cared to respond by the starter. And Im really discouraged to give any comment on those but sometimes the topic was so interesting that I cant get away with out leaving any response. But the discussion could be more beneficial than earning $$$ if it was carried as a discussion and not just like a survey board. But of course we dont know their reasons why they dont reply but for my case it took me sometimes to reply on some of my responders if I got nothing sensible to add up on their views. Thats why its better to start a discussion which we are really interested and knew something to be able to keep our discussion alive.

Yes, this happened. And we did discuss this phenomenon several times, now. Since you are quite new, so I can only hope that you do not follow these kind of people, as I am sure they are not earning much, either.

Hi shattered it does happen quite frequently and unfortunately the discussion starter has the wrong misconception about the myLot site. As we all know they do not earn for what we type, if they only understood that they will earn for the quality of what they type. All we can do is steer them in the right direction and some do pick up quickly while others do not. I am one who does not start very many but you betcha I am very attentive in commenting to my responses. As when I do start a discussion it is strictly out of interest to the topic, so I therefore, not only am I chatter box, I also find that if it interests me I have plenty to comment back with.

When I first joined mylot, I did the same thing because I didn't understand the system. Most people who do this have little experience in mylot, so I just assume there is a learning curve and don't worry about it.

I enjoy starting discussions that gets a lot of responses. So i really think hard what topics to start with. When no discussion crops up on my head, i look for interesting discussions to respond to. I see to it, that i answer all their comments so as to acknowledge that i have read them.

Well I'm a newbie here...in fact this is my 4th post ever on this site. The first day that I joined I made 2 posts to 2 different topics (I was testing the earnings waters so to speak). I logged in today and discovered yep I got paid for those 2 posts...woohoo! But no one has talked to me yet....I so sad. I'm still checking out the site, don't want to step on any toes. It doesn't look like a lot of other message boards or forums that I've chatted on in the past. Such as different topics, with subtopic conversations. How do I explain that without sounding like an ignoramous...lol. Anyway, I'll try to watch how many topics I create and make sure that I respond to everyone that talks to me :)

I find discussions on mylot very interesting. Most of the topics are too good and more knowledgable. More than anything it shows the discussions being done in a such a manner and its like a knowledge sharing. My knowledge has improved a lot.
