A letter to the myLot gods  |
|
Okay. I get a little silly sometimes. I have a wacky imagination.
This is how I see myLot.
I imagine the people who run myLot as Greek gods, up in the clouds, looking down and observing us.
They read our discussions and "zap us" when we're bad.
We are like ants in an ant farm. Someone up there is watching us running around and interacting and they are gaining all sorts of insight into the human phyche through our discussions.
Sometimes I wonder what the purpose of myLot is. I don't mean, what is the our purpose. I know, we can earn money, make friends an get some meaningful feeback to things that we have on our minds.
What I'm wondering is what is "their purpose". What are they getting out of it? I'm sure selling advertising spots is a big part of it... Is there anything else to it? Is big brother watching?
I guess I'm getting off track here, again. That's not unusual for me.
I have been trying to figure out how to contact "The myLot gods". I have a few questions. I want to know the logic behind some of their guidelines...
Why can't we post recipes??
Are the guidelines really "guidlines" or are they "rules".
Some of the guidlines aren't very specific. Are we to use our own judgement.
Why can't we have a suggeston box? I saw a discussion as a suggestionb box. I thought that was a great idea.
Can I get a job as a myLot god?? I'd love to be the gal who has the power to delete or not delete a discussion!
Does anyone else here have any wacky ideas of the purpose of myLot or is it just me?

1. webeishere (12367) | 3 years ago | You would like to be the one who deletes discussions? Well you can always surf from memeber to member looking at their discussions etc for guideline violations and report them. That would get a lot deleted. There have been and I feel still are some members that do that here. Now being a mylot "GOD"? Hmmmm? Is their such a thing here really. I have tried contacting them about various things and have a really hard time getting any type of reply unless it's along the lines of some type of violation question per say. I don't feel as though it's a "big brother" type of aspect but we do need to know that there are many thousands of people, members and staff alike, that see what we write here. So it isn't a private type of ordeal discussing things. Now I am babbling on. Hahahaha!! The guidelines are that, "guide" meaning that it sin't a "rule" in actuality. They don't want it to read rules as that seems like an "order" to some people. I like the term guideline much better than rule personally. I am done babbling and I got lost and sidetracked as well. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

miamilady (2495) | 3 years ago | Hi Grandpa Bob!
I actually replied to you earlier in the day, but either I clicked on the wrong spot or I got zapped! lol
I'm sure you know how frustrating it is when you type something out and then lose it.
I'm not out to get anybody's discussions deleted. I'm more of a "mind my own business" kind of person. If I don't like what someone has to say, I just stay away from the discussion or I'll state my opinion and let it go. But, if I were getting paid the BIG BUCKS and it were my job to delete discussions that were abusive, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
Thanks for joining in my babbling!:-)

2. freebc (1501) | 3 years ago | Notwithstanding the rest of the content of your submission to the omniscient overseers... You can post recipes. Anything that is okay.
You know that "L" word meaning a non-baptist beverage? You can't use that word but you can use licker. Benzaloy pointed out the other one to me, and to my amazement, he's right. It violates their word guidelines. Go figure...
The main motivation for this site is money. Advertisers pay good money to get their message out here. EBay in particular pays a good chunk to get the ads on. And to be perfectly honest, I have clicked on them and followed a bunch of links to certain items.

3. sigma77 (4282) | 3 years ago | You have been baking too long in that hot Miami sun...lol. The real purpose of this site is to make the owners money. We are just byproducts of that purpose. I am sure you could become a mylot Goddess if you were to pass the test. As of yet, none of us know what that test is because they won't tell us...lol As long as people keep joining this site, things won't change too much.

4. RobinJ (2017) | 3 years ago | First of I believe the mylot gods are on vacation, 90% of the time and it is only when we report something do they go into action. or if you use a word they have listed under NO NO's that we ever hear from them. I know that if a lot of people decide some one needs to be smarten up they will give negative ratings and thus cause that person to lose ratings. as for the money I have several open discussions underway and have earned a grand total of about 23 cents this week. so I am well on the road to riches lol. I believe that there are certain mylotters that do have ways and means to get what they want accomplished, and some of them break every rule in the book. So I can not answer you query, and as for the mylot gods, no worship coming their way from this lady. neither respect not willing to help either. I have reported so many rule breakers that I spent more time doing that than posting, and all it has gotten me is a big fat zero. so that is what I am returning to them. I believe in taking care of my own, So I guess like you I am not considered, unless it is to be bashed. and He// I am used to that.

5. JanuaryRain (642) | 3 years ago | lol. . .they are not godly at all, just human like the rest of us. Maybe more power that they can choose to wield however they want to. I hope if you get the power that you will use it to help and not hinder!

7. Rozie37 (7142) | 3 years ago | Hey, neat little story. I shop on Amazon.com a lot and I have noticed several times that at the bottom of the screen, Mylot will be mentioned as a place to go and find product reviews and the lastest fashions and things like that. So you will be happy to know that Mylot gets around the internet. Actually, I am surprised that more people don't know about and work on my lot than do.

10. dfn12968 (5538) | 3 years ago | No, it's not just you. I've thought about it, although maybe not quite so intensely.:) I don't know what the purpose of a site like this is, but to bring information to people. I think it's really no different than belonging to a Yahoo mailing list or something like that, just much more diverse and they pay us. Why they pay us, I have not yet figured out.
I didn't know we could not post recipes. That's odd. I've seen it before, and I've even started a discussion about recipes. I don't know if it was deleted...I never checked.

miamilady (2495) | 3 years ago | I think they pay us to motivate us. It works. I have posted topics on other message boards and not received nearly as many replies as I do here.
One person who responded to this discussion said it's okay to post recipes but I'm pretty sure I saw in the guidelines that we shouldn't.
Thanks for your response.
