What would you like to know about myLot?

with all due respects, Mr. Crash, I would like to know when did mylot start and about the senior level person in your organisation meaning your CEO and where exactly your office is located maybe you might have posted the address (which I did not see) and I would also like to know that whether does mylot pay only for the discussions or pvt messages that get shared too...???

This may seem like a strange question, but I can help my curiosity.

How long can MyLot be self sustaining? What I mean by this is, being in Kansas, if a great storm were to hit (we know how the ice and rain love Kansas), how long could MyLot continue to run if you were to lose power or your ISP for any real length of time (days and maybe weeks)?

I realize that the quality of MyLot would suffer greatly if it is not maintained regularly, but is there a point that the site would shut down due to lack of Adminstrative interaction? Or are there Administrators that work for MyLot outside of Kansas?

First things first, I love MyLot. I have made so many friends here. I am learning so much about different things.

What I would like to know is how MyLot got started, and will it last forever?

I know money is important to us all but we are needing the friendships that we are making also.

Was MyLot an*idea* of one or more persons and how did it become what it is?

Thank you "Crash" and welcome!

Hi, My question is how do I get some of my old friends to return to mylot, I can see that there are attempts to reform or make better the situation, I must admit for a while there it was very bad, and I was about to pack it in as well. The fact that I love to answer discussions as well as ask interesting questions has kept me here because there are still some wonderful people who give good questions as well as great responses, I don't care if you agree with me or not I value any one opinion if it is stated with a bit of thought behind it.
Thanks

Hi Crash!

With only about 15 members of the MyLot team, it doesn't take a lot of figuring to know what your role might be;)

MyLot is a very varied community but attracts a lot of members who are concerned with making money online. I notice that you currently run an ad, apparently a MyLot special, which links to eBay auctions for help in that direction.

Please would you elucidate the thorny question of what constitutes legitimate use of MyLot to promote one's ventures and what is not allowed. Much, of course, is specified in the TOS and the Guidelines but these seem to leave some grey areas. I am thinking of Profiles, in particular.

My personal feeling is that if people choose to use their profiles to post ads and referral links, that should be acceptable (though open to moderation). This does seem to be MyLot's feeling as well, in spite of the clause in the TOS that precludes 'commercial use'.

Recently I have noticed that a number of members are 'spamming' their friend's comments sections, probably because the comments section is one of the few places where it is possible to embed flash and other things. I have to say that I find this practice offensive and I wonder if the mechanism is in place to moderate this.

Of course, the user is able to delete comments but many do not and at least one person has stated that the reason they have not deleted comments is because they fear offending the person who left this trash! (That seemed illogical to me, and I said so).

A number of older discussions (say, over a year old) which clearly violate the guidelines are still on the system and show no signs of being deleted. I believe that these are a bad example to new members who see these still in place when their own similar discussions are deleted.

I do understand that, with the staff you have, moderating the forum perfectly and completely may be an almost impossible task. I also see that there are priority issues (in that more recent discussions are more likely to be deleted, if they are reported. So, is it worth reporting older discussions that violate the Guidelines, if one comes across them?

Does reporting activity feature in the complicated algorithm that determines one's activity and status ... and, ultimately, payment?

Hello Crash, welcome to mylot. The first thing I would like to know is, whether two members can use the same computer for mylotting? My wife and me were using the same computer as it was allowed then. But her account as -kalyani2007 had been deactivated since Dec 11 2007. I had given a PM from my account, as she is unable to access. Surprisingly there is no response.
It had happened earlier and I had given a similar PM, mylot was kind enough to restore it. So may I appeal mylot to reactivate it, or to let me know the reason for this . She must know if she violated any mylot rules.

Goodness, this turned out to be a popular discussion! - Do you think myLot will hire a secretary for you to help you get through all this?:D

First I would like to reiterate two earlier suggestions I made to myLot - First, to have a link to the Best Discussion in a discussion - currently it just goes to the user profile, and if there are a lot of responses and the user has lots of responses, it is a pain to find it in pages of responses. Likewise, I would like a link to my first response in a discussion. I don't always remember what page my response was in, and I don't really care about my secondary responses (my response to responses, if you get my drift?) but I would like to quickly find my response to the original discussion, so I can see how that branch of the discussion is going, and respond to it if I feel it is necessary.

And now the actual question, though there were already several questions to revenue, I would like to be a tad bit more specific in one general area - Are advertisement clicks a part of the algorithm? That is, I create a discussion, and people respond, and some click on the advertisements that are on the page. Would that increase my myLot income? Would it be even more if I actually bought something from the sites the links bring me to? I had noticed the majority of links are with eBay items - not all, but it seems to be the majority - are there any plans to increase the variety? Is there any action I can do to increase that variety?

Thank you very much.

HI Crash I would just like to know if there would be a chance that we could get a chat room under each of the members so that we can invite our friends to have a real time chat?
The reason I say this is reecntly there was a discussion where a person was frustrated because the members got off topic and they felt that this shouldn't happen and so on and so forth. So I was trying to think of a peaceful solution. I was thinking on a non paid chat room system where each member had their own chat room the only way a person can chat in that room is if the room owner invites them in .. It would be up to the room owner to control the chat they would have a button that would be used to kick a person out of the conversation if they were being vulgar or disrepectful and rude and I also think it would eliminate some of the bickering and rudeness that I have noticed that was going on. I think this would be a valuable addition to my lot and would hope that your team of inventors or web people could arrange this .. Like I said it would be unpaid chat system that way it doesn't take from the discussions and would be encouraged to use it for just simple chatting like how is your day. Anything tht wouldn't be the topic in the discussion. This is also a better way for mylot users to get to know eachother ...
thank you for your time and this was a great idea.

It sounds very interesting. It is very good for us to have a chance to clear our questions here. I have joined hear nearly one year, I guess. In the past the earning would be higher and I had learned that some very active users could earn even one dollar a day here. But later the pay became less than before. So some users left here because they thought it was not worth to spend long time here but earned little bit only.
I would like to know whether there will be a possibility to improve the payment again? I am sure it will attract more Mylotters to be much more active again. Many thanks and I look forward to your reply:)

Hi Crush!

I believe that in participating in myLot, I can manage my freedom of expression by means of participating in areas of discussion. Wherein I can emphasis what I care about and what really matters to all...
Since am new here, I still have my questions.

How exactly does myLot work?

How does my involvement in this program affect my level of participation? And what is the payout percentage in each level?

What can I do to ensure that my account won't be disabled?

MORE POWER!
