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???

41. histechnoangel (272) | 2 years ago | Hiya Crash!
I would like to know how MyLot got started and do you think it is the way of the future? I mean, a ton of people use the site, and must be making decent money!
| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | myLot was started as a side project by one of our developers. We wanted to see if there was a better way to bring people together on the internet. It turns out, there was, and myLot exploded in popularity! And yes, I feel confident that myLot will be the way of the future. Expect myLot to continually improve, grow, and evolve.

I've been here for over a year & my question deals with the server and or g;litches here on myLot. There are a few that are ever occuring like emails not showing up timely or at all as well as friends notifies being turned off. Is there a way that you could contact the server seeing if this is a problem at their end as it happens all too often? Thanks for your time and replies so far. truely appreciated. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

someonesmom (2275) | 2 years ago | Thanks for mentioning this, Grandpa Bob. As of my posting this, I'm still experiencing the blank pages etc., and am feeling 'really discouraged,' about this.
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Hey Grandpa Bob!
We usually try to fix glitches as we become aware of them. Some glitches are very tough to reproduce though so we can fix. I'm not denying that they're out there, but a lot of times a glitch for certain people isn't a glitch for many others. I'd a private message to uername myLot with specific details of the glitches you're seeing. Not just "I get a white screen". But exactly what are you trying to do when the glitch occurs.
Hope that helps.

43. Goodie123 (7548) | 2 years ago | Hello Crash, I would like to know, "other then it being against the rules and guidelines" Why we cannot celebrate another members birthday in a post. There are many, many members who have no family or special someone to share these special occassions with. I know it is only to be done through our PM's or Profile Page, but is it such a bad thing to want to help someone celebrate their special day. Thank You for your time.
| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Imagine if everybody's birthday on myLot was celebrated with a long celebratory discussion! That would also open the flood-gates for other chatty discussions.
I understand how great friendships have evolved on myLot. That's what makes it such a great place! But the proper spot for a public "Happy Birthday!" is that user's profile page.

44. polachicago (7871) | 2 years ago | Hi Crash,
Why don’t we have an option to “block users”?
Reason: As you may know social networking is great concept for all of us. However, many of us were fallowed by cyber bullies or trolls. Those people will do everything to keep our life miserable. It happens here on Mylot not once but many times. I was willing to block about 4 members who played villains and follow me in every discussion with bad comments.
If we are about to keep rating system, we should be able to keep ourselves from abusers and cyber bullies. For many months Mylot was on autopilot. It took 2 to 3 people to send an abuse on innocent person to have discussion deleted and get reputation down. Those people used to have meetings on similar site like Mylot to trash Mylot users and make a decision who they want to ban from Mylot.
I have very good reputation in real life and on other social networking sites because I can simply defend myself. Mylot is the only community that is wide open for any abusers to make us feel not welcome. I am not sure if you are able to play as our “guardian angel” if system is not improved.
It was about time to have someone to respond to our problems. As you know emails send to Mylot are gone with the wind.

Riptide (1456) | 2 years ago | This is a great question and one I have been wondering too.This is a feature that surely is missing here and would help avoid a lot of problems.I hope you get best response for this question, as it is well deserved:)
| |
|
|
spasticseagulls (363) | 2 years ago | Yes I agree and also think this should get best responce for interest and honesty.
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Ouch, I said keep it fun!
If a user is that bad, then they don't belong on myLot. Blocking users would ruin the integrity of the discussions. We'd see questions all over the place like "what are you referring to? I don't understand?" That's because a response referencing what a blocked user wrote wouldn't make sense to someone who had that user blocked.
Discussion integrity is critical and something we will never compromise.
| |
|
|
zukepr (11799) | 2 years ago | I am sorry Crash but what about the overall integrity of this site many of us can tell when a formerly banned user comes back to start trouble. We report them to admin but often nothing is done about them and they continue to cause problems and falsely report good users based on some childish vendetta and get those good users banned for nothing. We should have a way to block those problem users until admin can properly deal with them We should not have to be subjected to the harrassment of these formerly banned users
| |
|
|
polachicago (7871) | 2 years ago | If I block single user, the user can not respond to my discussion only, or under my respond only, still can respond to 100,000 of other users....
We want to have fun, not frustration.
Aren't we talking about improving Mylot? If you here to be Tail Twister only I can understand your respond.

| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Thanks for the kind words!
We don't disclose who's viewing your profile, because I've got a feeling many myLot users wouldn't like their browsing habits disclosed for others to see. So basically, the issue is privacy. Those who'd like to let you know that they've been on your profile should drop a profile comment!
| |
|
|

46. reinydawn (4233) | 2 years ago | How does the myLot admin feel when there are so many posts about people being here "just for the chat" as opposed to the payouts? I am one of those that is here more for the fun of it than for knowing I'll be paid. When I first started here over a year ago, I made payout all the time. But now it's very difficult, but I'm still here because I've had such a good time with my "friends". I would think that myLot likes the fact that although people aren't always getting the fast huge payouts they want, we're still coming here and loving it. I think that the myLot admin must feel some sort of accomplishment from that? Bringing together a community of people like myLot has done has got to be rewarding in and of itself.
| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Outstanding! I couldn't have said it better myself!
myLot is much more than a place where you can earn a few bucks. Those who recognize that tend to be the happier myLot members.
A lot of members just drop in from time to time to discuss their interests and meet new friends. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that! In fact, it's strongly encouraged!
And you're right, watching myLot grow into what it has become has been very rewarding.
We're not done yet though, and we have a long way to go!

47. cdparazo (3945) | 2 years ago | Hi Crash! Wow! $20 is a fortune from where I come from. Such incentive would certainly draw in a lot of responses and I laud mylot for thinking of giving away such incentive. A lot of members here have made this site as a way to augment their income and it would certainly go a long way for a lot of us. It is a type of reward that members like me are thankful for.
Anyways, my question is...are you married? LOL! Oopps, NOT original and certainly NOT about mylot! LOL! Kidding aside, my real question is...Do we get higher earnings for a particular discussion if it gets to top 10 and how do we get to the top 10? (I hope this won't be considered as 2 questions since it's in 1 sentence. He he he! But if it is, sorry...) I guess I am one of those who rarely bothers to check if any of my discussions made it to the top 10. I am surely so clueless if any of my discussions did earn more. Knowing that making it to the top discussions would make us earn more would certainly encourage most members here to post more quality discussions. All the best!
By the way, I'm a big fan of pigs. Oink! oink!
| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Yep, married to a sweetheart! There is no direct correlation between top discussions and earnings. There is an indirect correlation, however. Higher quality discussions are certainly worth more to the community and receive higher earnings. We also try to include high-quality discussions in the Top Discussions. So while there's no strict rule that says these are awarded more, they usually are the higher earners. Hope that makes sense!

ladyluna (2495) | 2 years ago | Hello Crash,
A quick follow up to your answer:
So, who determines the intrinsic value of a discussion?
| |
|
|
AedonLeone (469) | 2 years ago | I'm going to go out on a limb and say that myLot's members are the ones who determine the value of the discussions on the site. After all, that's what the rating system is in place for...
| |
|
|
ladyluna (2495) | 2 years ago | Hello AedonLeone,
I was actually hoping for an official response to this question, as it goes to the heart of other, interconnected issues.
Thanks though!

48. Drawmoney (820) | 2 years ago | Thanks Big crash.Please tell me when are you increasing payment per post to the Mylotters?The present payment is too less to even afford cost of internet cards.Please look into the matter and increase it.........
| |
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | Haha, we're not an ATM machine! Increase your positive contributions to the community and you will see an increase. One highly rated resposne is worth a lot more than dozens of unrated, or low-rated ones.

49. loungeact (496) | 2 years ago | Welcome to the discussion forum Crash. I know you say that your official position here is to remain a mystery for now, and I have visited your profile. Aside from being very interested to know if you are male or female (that's a rather generic avatar. lol) I'm wondering if you intend to remain an active 'user' on discussions. We haven't had a good looking pig since Hoghoney you see, and easier access to one would save a lot of us from having to cook (think invent) our own bacon (think answers to questions about mylot)!
| |
| |
|
|
skinnychick (3317) | 2 years ago | OMG Loungey!! This is precisely why I love you.. Sorry had to interject.. Carry on...
| |
|
|
novataylor (2142) | 2 years ago | If there is anyone here more loved than Loungeact, I surely do not know who it is!
| |
|
|
loungeact (496) | 2 years ago | well hello and thank you my lovelies! LOL
Crash, it just occured to me that I really didn't ask a question (well except for the two rather cleverly hidden ones. lol). So this is my formal question. How in the name of mylot are you going to choose best response? In the past half hour alone you have received over 50 responses, and with a membership of over 120,000 surely this choice is going to give you nightmares and keep you sleepless for weeks! LOL
| |
|
|
cdparazo (3945) | 2 years ago | I certainly look forward to checking out the best response that Crash would eventually choose. Must give him/her headaches. He he he! Oh i love my job! As to Crash being a male or female, i won't really be surprised if Crash turned out to be a SHE since this kind of job entails too much attention to details. I don't say that a male can't do it but it's just more of a female thing.
| |
|
|
| Crash (7) | 2 years ago | I'm definitely a male swine. You're right, this has definitely kept me busy, and I have a long way to go! The best response will probably go to a question that entertains me and is original.
