What would you like to know about myLot?  |

The 48 hour period is over, and responses are no longer being accepted! New responses will not be answered, so please read the multiple answers I've already given here. Thanks!
I think it's time we have a revealing question and answer session with the members of myLot. Sound like fun? I think so!
My username is Crash, and you can learn a little more about me by visiting my profile. My official position at myLot shall remain a mystery for now, but let's just say I know enough to answer pretty much any question you throw my way. If I don't know the answer, then I'll do my best to bug the right people at myLot to get it answered, or I'll make something up:)
So here's what I want to do. I will respond to any question posted in this discussion (subject to a few ground rules) in the next 48 hours. It might take me a little while to get through them all, but as long as the question is posted within 48 hours, I will answer it.
Here are the ground rules...
1) Only one question per myLot member, so make it a good one! 2) Don't post the same question that has already been asked by someone else. 3) Feel free to comment under someone else's question, but follow-up questions are not allowed in the comments 4) Keep it clean and respectful! I carry around a big delete button in my pocket, and I will definitely use it on any response or comment that I feel doesn't contribute posititvely to our discussion (of course, I also know how to use the plus/minus buttons in the discussion rating system). Keep in mind that the less times I have to delete something, the more likely I am to engage in similar discussions in the future! 5) I'll throw an extra $20 into the Paypal account of whoever gets my best response. The best response will go to the most original, thought-provoking question about myLot. 6) Let's have fun!
So let me get this started by asking the first question...
What would YOU like to know about myLot???

21. peedielyn (715) | 2 years ago | Hello Crash! Nice to meet you. My question is concerning the earnings and referrals part. I was kinda thrown into the mylot thing and just went with it. I noticed that I was earning money, but what I don't know is how I earned that money or how to earn more. Do you get money for posting a discussion?, or for answering the post? How much do you earn with referrals. I've tried to find the answers to these questions but I haven't had any responses. Thanks again

22. sarahruthbeth22 (10370) | 2 years ago | Is it or will it be possible to write a post in one language and have another read it in another language? Example. I post a discussion in English and my friend could read it in Chinese. And when she writes the response in Chinese, I can read it in English?
| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Hmm, I doubt it, not at this point. I'd be worried about the translation software. Most of the auto-translation programs I've seen tend to butcher (ahhhhh! pig's don't like the word "butcher"!) the translation, and that could change the intended meaning of someone's response.
Currently myLot is English-only. If and when we support additional languages, we will launch a myLot sister-site in that language. I wouldn't foresee this in the near future, however.

23. Lindalinda (2909) | 2 years ago | Hi Crash, I would like to clarify once and for all how discussions get deleted. I see so many posts by people insinuating that this one or that one gets their discussion deleted and there are constant remarks about people following other people and getting their discussions deleted. There is constant name calling such as scum, A**, rats and more. I have never had a discussion deleted and I do not believe that one single person can get another persons's discussion deleted. Could you please clarify this. Thanking you in advance.
| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | If only the response or comment is against guidelines, only the response or comment will be deleted.
However, if border-line discussions take a turn for the worse, then that discussion is more-likely to show up on our moderation radar and be subject to moderation itself.

24. Polly1 (8463) | 2 years ago | First off Crash, your cute. This is such a good idea. As you can see I have been here a long time. I love Mylot and I am so very happy that I found Mylot. Here is my question..."When are you guys going to give us more money"? We work hard for the money, so you better treat us right. That last part you are supposed to sing. You used to give us more way back when I first joined. Well you said only one question and I guess I used it up. Take care, nice to meet you, hope to see you around again. I am looking forward to reading some of the questions and your responses.
| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Donna Summer??? I'd get kicked out of Planet myLot if I started singing that!
Recruit more people to myLot! That's the best way to significnatly increase your earnings.

susaneverson (4945) | 2 years ago | I don't mean to be intrusive here. I don't feel you answered Polly1's question. If I am not misreading her pose, she asked why there was such a decrease in the earnings. I have also been a member almost as long and I too have noticed a significant decrease, I thought I had emailed admin about this matter but I can't seem to find the email, but that is irrelevant. In your origanal discussion you did say that you would answer each question. Susan

Polly1 (8463) | 2 years ago | WTG Susan, you can jump in anytime. Crash said that we can make comments within other responses. You said it so good, Crash didn't actually answer my question. I used to have no trouble making payout of $10 each month, now it takes me 4 to 5 months to do it. I can be here for a long time and if I get 10 to 20 cents I am doing good. I am not really complaining, I love Mylot and would still be here if they didn't pay us. I have a 10 rating so I have a good reputation. I write sentences, not one word responses. It will be interesting to see who gets the $20 for best response. Thanks for your input.

25. novataylor (2142) | 2 years ago | This is more of a request than a question. To preface it, I am among some people here who tend to get a bit chatty in our discussions, and quite frankly, pretty silly and raunchy sometimes, but all in good fun and with the best of intentions. I have read some posts recently objecting to that sort of thing, although I don't know why those people simply don't avoid those discussions. It's pretty simple to click off of them if you don't like what's happening there. My request is for a chat room of sorts, a place for those of us who wish to, can get together and have a little party of sorts. Not open necessarily to anyone and everyone, since it would be inappropriate for some to enter, but I think you get my drift here. Now, I don't have any experience with chat rooms, or social networking sites so I don't really know how to ask for this or exactly what to ask for. I shall defer to you on that, ok? There you have it - do with it what you will. Thank you for your time and consideration, Crash.

Goodie123 (7548) | 2 years ago | Well said Nova. A lot of us do agree with Nova's suggestion Crash.
| |
|
|
|
|
MaxPower1971 (661) | 2 years ago | My feeling is that if they were comments like the last 2 here were...then they don't add nothing to the discussion and should be avoided...they should be treated like one worders and be deleted...but Crash will explain this better than me
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Yeah, I wouldn't get too chatty in the public discussions. What about the private messages? You can get as chatty as you want in there. That's your best bet for now.
We've tossed around the idea of a chat room like you suggest. There are no immediate plans to implement one, however. Right now we're concentrating on some other yet-to-be-announced upgrades...
| |
|
|
pyewacket (11581) | 2 years ago | I hope you don't mind my butting in here...while yes, maybe members can get more chatty in PMs rather than in discussions, but as we know, our PMs aren't exactly completely private from what I understand and are read by the administration and moderators....so many MyLotters might be afraid to say anything of a real personal nature. I happen to have the private email addresses of many of my friends here so discussing things privately isn't an issue...I'm just thinking in terms of those who might wish to have privacy in their PM who don't necessarily want to exchange private email addresses.

bellaofchaos (3118) | 2 years ago | well an my dear friend Nova stated that about a chat room. I have actually started a discussion stated calling all talkers and typers and was hoping to get enough of a response to send it to mylot as a petition for the chat rooms. .. I have actually outlined what the chat rooms would be like and monitored in this discussion. Please stop by and view it the out lline is on the second page of the discussion and I think you will see that I have thought it out a lot.

|
|
michelyn (595) | 2 years ago | Nova, goodies, pye, skinny, bella... I absolutely love reading your discussions; you are hilarious and I can completely understand the request as I have seen the same discussions criticizing some of you, but I believe the main reason that myLot would NOT want to introduce chatrooms would be that they would worry that discussion postings would decline. If people were busy talking and laughing in the chatrooms, that's less time they would be posting discussions and since that is their ultimate goal, they would not want to hinder that.
Now, if they could find a way to pay people for being entertaining, then you guys would be set and wouldn't need a separate chatroom, but unfortunately, not everyone's idea of entertaining is the same. In my opinion, you all would become multi-millionaires quickly!:)

JJ4Ever (700) | 2 years ago | Great idea, Nova! I'd actually thought of this myself. Why doesn't myLot have a chat application? It's hard not to get to know people here while discussing such a variety of subjects. There are many other "social network" websites out there that have their own "chat" applications users can enjoy. That way, myLot users will be able to talk in "real time." What an exciting addition that would be. Private messages just don't have the advantages of a chat session because responses to messages aren't sent and received as quickly. I know it's quite a step for the myLot administrators to make, but I think it would be well worth the time.:) Great post, Nova!

26. paidreader (2491) | 2 years ago | Hi Crash and welcome to MyLot. I've learned alot about MyLot in the time I've been here, but there is one thing that continues to leave me wondering. Why doesn't MyLot send a notice when a discussion gets deleted along with the reason? As many members know, discussions just vanish with no indication for the reason, which in turn leads to more discussions about "what happened to my discussion?". In many cases the reason becomes obvious, but in others we're left wondering.
| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | This has already been asked and answered. See above.

paidreader (2491) | 2 years ago | Sorry, they were being posted at the same time.

| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | You receive your star rating the day after reaching a user-rating of 100.
Your star is a 3 because that is relative value myLot users have placed on your contributions so far.

29. zukepr (11799) | 2 years ago | Hello Crash!
There is only one burning question in my mind right now about this place.
Why did user Sndcain get banned when she did absolutely nothing wrong and has been an upstanding member of this community for over a year?
Would you mind looking into this matter for us and possibly reinstating her account? Thanks
| |
| |
|
|
Riptide (1456) | 2 years ago | My thoughts too,but zukepr beat me to it lol. I would also like an answer to this, especially since it seems she has been suspended on the word of a member who has been repeatedly banned and kept signing up under different names.
| |
|
|
MaxPower1971 (661) | 2 years ago | Yes Crash...I would LOVE to see the answer to that one....SNDCAIN was a top ranking member here for over 18 months and is suspended over what we feel is tattle tailing....
Please explain what gives...I know you don't have to,but out of courtesy for a long time member I think you should...Thanx
| |
|
|
MaxPower1971 (661) | 2 years ago | Just so there is no confusion,,,,here's her profile here..
http://www.mylot.com/sndcain
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Sorry, but we can't discuss individual member issues for the public to see.
| |
|
|
zukepr (11799) | 2 years ago | you cant discuss it for the public to see? Ok thats cool I understand Could you answer it in a PM to me? Or does my question not deserve an answer? I thought you were here to answer our questions was I mistaken? Please dont think I am being rude I just feel that an injustice has been done to an upstanding member of this community and something should be done to right this wrong. Could you at least look into this?
| |
|
|
KrazyKlingon (3171) | 2 years ago | As a former admin & in the last days of another site, I quite understand the reasoning for not publicly talking about individual members, as it is indeed a privacy issue. However, this is a case of the wrong person being punished.
In essence, a crime was committed by one individual against the other. The authorities got involved, & instead of punishing the criminal, they chose to punish the victim instead.
I did see the discussion it had happened in, but it got cleaned up, & I forgot what discussion it happened in. It was clear on who the perpetrator was, & who was the victim. I hope that SNDCAIN gets compensated in some way for this injustice.
