Strange but it seems that discussions about Mylot operations, earnings, friends list, referrals, etc are the most popular, they get the most responses and they just keep repeating.. I just wonder sometimes, Why mylot admin pays is to criticize the site and complain about it? Like most of mylot members I started a few discussions about mylot too and I answer many of them daily.. In a way i like the "democratic" way mylot treats us, most sites doesn't allow members to criticize them in public but again if mylot to communicate more with us there wouldn't be all these confused questions, speculations and observations going around on the boards.. OK, I just started another mylot discussions lol Anyone want to talk about it?

You are right, some website does not want member to criticize in public. I like this tolarete behaviour of Mylot. I would like to hope that Mylot will not give a chance to complain about them to any member. They will listen all those complain and try to sove those.

I think mylot people are doing a great job, but i wish if the FAQ section would be more comprehensive to cover some of the really "Frequently Asked Questions" on the forum that people keep asking time after time..

I think mylot is also interested to what their members feel about their site, to know what developments they should do to make their site more interesting for others and also to attract more members because of the democracy that we are given priviledge of. About those discussions about earnings, friends, life, referrals, and not to forget those movies, celebrities, movies books, music and religion.. I think this topics have many members that are interested at, that can most of us can draw their attention, it also generates more responses because alot of us here always has something to say about them. With the same discussions started, but with different subject to talk about, I think most members can be drawed to start something from it or response to..

Yes i find discussions about mylot very useful and I leaned a lot from it but I wish if the FAQ was more detailed and it would be easier for members to find the answers there instead of starting discussions asking the same questions time after time.

I'm sure they like to hear members opinions of their site, whether they are good, bad, or ugly. You can only truly grow and learn, when you know what your faults are. Market Research is a HUGE business. They make millions each year from companies trying to gain knowledge on what consumers think of their products, and ways they can improve upon them. Allowing such post (and even paying us for them) is like "free" market research, basically.

You would be upset if they didn't allow that. They answer any of the questions that are sent to them. I think they give a lot of lea way with their members. That is the democratic way and I think they show it great.

MyLot has given us the freedom to express hehehe i guess and thats very nice, in other wesites it si not like this. If we try to criticize than the ban us for good. But i like the way myLot runs. Many people here in myLot discussions criticize myLot but myLot is still paying them like others they pay, this is really great

I've seen so many other forums and websites that hate their members criticizing it. It's almost like they want to keep the truth from getting out there - that they're crap sites and everyone knows it lol. I love the way that Mylot handle criticism with good faith, that they take our complaints into account and they admit they're wrong if it's found that they are. They're extremely tolerant and that's great. I sent them a message a few days ago though with a question, and they haven't replied yet, so that may be a discussion for me to see if anyone here can help me. On the whole, I'm very happy with MyLot and the way they handle things.

Exactly, when you are honest you fear no criticism, if you are wrong about anything you want people to point it out so you can fix it and you don't try to hide it.. that's why I trust mylot and they gain the trust of all new members..

I think the probable answer to Mylot allowing us to criticise them, and paying us to do so, is because the criticisms are a way for them to find what we like and don't like about their site. Then, they probably take the most popular ideas and incorporate them within the site, ironing out the wrinkles on the way. In other words, I feel that it just might be helping Mylot to create the greatest, most popular paid discussion site on the net. I think they're succeeding too. I love Mylot and can't find a site to better it, anywhere. If they keep improving it to our liking, then it will remain the top discussion site to be found anywhere on the internet. Surely, that's worth allowing us to criticise them? Thank you for a great discussion. Brightest Blessings.

That's true freesoul, some people don't think twice before "accusing" myLot ranging from the earnings to the features available here. I personally think myLot has a big heart and allows all this ..lol Actually myLot does respond to queries provided we write to them first Many users don't bother asking myLot instead they rather start a discussion for two reasons, to get answers from users and to make a quick buck while they are at it. The latter is mostly the case often. IT is ok to start discussions about myLot only because they allow it, but we can always report users who try to derrogate myLot.

I like that myLot allows these discussions. It shows that they respect our freedom of speech. Everyone has the right to comment, regardless of whether their views are positive or negative. I'd imagine it works out well for myLot, as they can not be said to be censoring their members, or portraying themselves fraudulently. Also, most of the people who post discussions that talk about myLot negatively, and those who reply to them, also post positive things too. Plus, the number of members increases constantly, so it can't be affecting myLot's reputation!

Yes mylot lets all of us happy members defend them against any negative comments :) When I first joined I was skeptical but all these discussions and answers from happy mylot members made me trust it and take it seriously without waiting for my first payout :)

This is because we have freedom in mylot and we are allowed to speak our mind in mylot whether it is against mylot or not. This is a really good thing about mylot. In other sites if we are criticizing the site there is a really big chance that the admin or moderator of the site will delete the post at once. But this is not the case in mylot and I really like this.

PEN freedom ., freedom of expression is being practised here at mylot.. We are freely given the chance to explain our side and make healthy and in contrast responses. Mylot is not only being fair but i also noticed that the protect us. They even allow persons abuse their rights here.. Notice the blogs and promotions discussed here..

For any company to rise up high in the world of competition has to accept criticism and promptly respond to the criticism, of course rationally. It is just like you ask your spouse or any family member before going out of house "How am I looking?" - may be it means "is there any out of fashion looks i am having at the moment?". Criticism helps companies to apply necessary changes promptly which have been pointed out by the viewers; which otherwise would have taken a lot of time and obivious only when the company is at a loss.
