Are People lying on Mylot?

There are at least a few people who are clearly lying. There was someone who started a discussion the other day that claimed they were one gender, their provile and earlier posts showed messages claiming the other. They are hoping that no one realizes and doesn't report them. Some of the bizzare stuff might be real. The internet affords us all a level of anonymity (or at least assumed anonymity). Some people see that and run with it... Pouring out all their darkest and dirty details. It happens on blogs too. It helps readership, but then causes all sorts of havoc once one of your real life friends stumbles upon your not so secret dirty little secrets.

I think some of the stuff, not all, but a small minority of disucssions are made up. Some of them are so, well, bizarre, like you said. I think people just come up with weird, and sometimes interesting things, in order to get more responses. Then again, at least they are using their brains to get some money. It is much better than disucssions like 'What is your favourite colour?' etc.

I too, wondered why they would post such topics. I hope these things aren't happenig to them. Either way it is bad. There really is no way of knowing unless we catch them in a lie or something.

I think people are comfortable posting suh things. Also many things that are happenin here are not discussions . They are opinions. I do not know how mylot is treating them. For example, this one is a discussion.. But there are so called discussions like which do you like, red or blue? You cannot call it a discussion as you cannot answer it in more than one word ha ha!
