Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com2 years ago

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???

Hi,Crash

I was wondering something my girlfriend had an account with mylot and she chose to close her account and everyone of her discussions is still there and she was wondering if she can have her account back. She wrote to mylot a couple of times but she has not got an answer back about it.


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Hmm, I don't see why not. We definitely get backed up with replies to our members and it's something we're working on. Try again, and mention my name with a link to this response. That should help speed things up.

Hi Crash! I'm a new user of Mylot! I find out that Mylot is quite different from other similar websites coz it'll ask us to select our interests. Later, the information that is relevant to our interests will pass to us.Then it'll bring two problems. The first is that some really useful information but is not about our interests can't be available to the users . The second is that Mylot provides a good stage for us to communicate, but its main culture is not clear. How could you solve these problems? Thank you!


myLot reputation of 97/100. sminut13 (885)   ranked 2,062 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

i think you can edit your interests in your profile if i'm not wrong. i remember that i did not put eating in my interests, one of my friends had posted an interesting discussion on it and before being submitted, they'd ask if we wanted to put it in our interest. you can do it manually too by editing your interests.


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Yes, you can add/edit your interests at any time. myLot is open to English-speaking people wherever you are in the world. Most active myLot users are from the US, but we also have a strong base in Canada, Europe, India, and the Phillipines, among others.

I would like to know about the perceive value of Mylot which you have mention on one of your replies.

How does this work?

How can I earn more here on Mylot?
Is it true that the higher your rating the more higher your earnings?


myLot reputation of 82/100. KrazyKlingon (3172)   ranked 7,449 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I think I can answer this one.

If you post detailed, quality responses to someone's discussion or start a good, quality, discussion that includes a lot of good details, that's one way to earn more.

The star rating has nothing to do with earnings. Whether you've got a star of 10 or a star of 1 or no star at all, your earnings would be the same.


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Actually, your star rating (myLot Reputation) is one of many factors that contributes to your earnings rate:)

The absolute best way to increase myLot earnings is to actively promote myLot and generate referrals.

54. myLot reputation of 91/100. earncommunity (710)   ranked 839 out of 32,533 in mylot.com   2 years ago

As such i like the way mylot is working but i would like see few things changed here for the better.

1) Please fix the earnings statistics page, i still dont understand the total of the "referrals" column and "Total" Column

2) Please give us the option to disable the tagging option for private messages.

3)Now this is really important! isn't there any way to make mylot run faster? Mylot runs slow in firefox, and almost impossible to run it with IE! Many of the people whom i referred to this site stopped using this because of this slowness issue.
Is it a deliberate attempt to make the site run slow?

4) Please supply us with referral banners so that we could use it in our sites/blogs.

5) Why cant you introduce a public scrapbook for every user so that we could send him/her public messages, i think that would double mylot's attraction as a social networking website.

6) Currently there is no option to search for our friends in mylot, if we have to find one we have to check each and every page of our friends page.

7)When a message is deleted pls send a message denoting the reason why it is deleted.

Apart from this i would like to know few things about mylot..

1) What is the average amount of money that mylot sends its members on a monthly basis?

2) How long can we expect mylot to be in business?

3)what are all the new features members can expect in the future from mylot?

4) What percentage of its total population are actually active here on mylot?



Ok! these are the suggestions and questions i have for your, thank you for your time!


myLot reputation of 96/100. vera5d (2204)   ranked 208 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

i run mylot on ie 7 with no problem...do you have the most current internet explorer? Try erasing all your cookies & temporary internet files? If there are problems with it on both ie and firefox i would think it might be an internet connection problem or age of the computer - you can check how fast your connection is by searching "internet speed test" on yahoo...


myLot reputation of 91/100. earncommunity (710)   ranked 839 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

i have both ie and firefox in my system, the system has reasonable configuration and my internet connection is a 2mbps broadband, i dont delete my cookies very often since i'm a member of many sites and its burdensome for me to enter passwords in all of them, so i prefer having few cooking in my system. I use internet explorer 7 with all latest updates, for me it takes ages for mylot to load in ie 7(except for the fist few days when the OS freshly installed), and to make discussions and responses is even tougher, you will simply run out of patience! I've seen this problem only with mylot, if for some reason my firefox is crashed or not working i prefer not to attempt logging in to mylot. This is not just the case with me, i have got complaints from many of my referrals that the reason why they are not active in mylot is coz of its slowness, if other sites can run on their system smoothly mylot too should, and if its not then there has to be some problem with mylot. Expert users might be able to tweak their browser to make mylot run faster...but thats not my point, a basic internet user should be able to use mylot as smoothly as he/she is able to browse other websites.


myLot reputation of 91/100. earncommunity (710)   ranked 839 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

even my cheetah jumps in slow motion in ie:P


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Sorry, only one question allowed!

I'll answer this one: 2) How long can we expect mylot to be in business?

We are self-funded and will be around for a long, long time.

thanks crash for being here...i have a simple question although it's common. What make mylot different from others? is there any upgrade on the feature presently exist?


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I answered what makes myLot different in an earlier comment. Yes, you can expect an upgrade or two in the near future.

hi crash. so basically, from here on now, its going to be you that we're going to contact when we have a question, right??

please don't consider that as my question because my question is, do we get anything, or is there any benefits or advantages from going back on a certain discussion and keep on commenting to the comments on my response? for example, there's this discussion I responded to and its host commented on my response, and then I commented, and then she commented again, and so on and so forth, like we are discussing forever. do I get anything from it?

thanks in advance.


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Yes, it doesn't matter where you contribute, as long as the contribution is high quality. It's definitely a good idea for discussion starters to follow-up with comments to their responses.

Honestly, I'm not sure what my future role will be yet. I want to see how this goes. I will definitley let everyone know once I have that figured out.

I do know that we need better communication, but myLot is so big, I'd never get anything else done if this is all I did. So we'll see....


myLot reputation of 100/100. terri0824 (3510)   ranked 11 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Crash, I am glad to see that you said it is good to respond to responses on discussions started. I have been steering away from one person's post for a bit now, because person tends to start a bunch of discussions responding to very few.

I keep seeing high quality discussions get better pay. So what is considere high quiality discussion? Is it based on amount of words used per post? What is is judged on?


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 311 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

so i'm taking its also a good idea to follow-up on my responses to other discussions? just like what i'm doing now? because it would really be nice to know that i am also being rewarded by doing so. it would be like a bonus to the fun i'm having when discussing with others.^__^ thanks crash. i hope you'll be able to read this and answer terri's question.

Hello Crash,

Thanks to the MyLot Administration for this long awaited dialogue.

I’ll spare the reader my long list of accolades for this community, and its foundation. I’ve been here for 16 months. So, clearly I see a great many reasons to continue to participate here.

As I’ve read through the questions presented by the members, I see that others have asked some of the more pressing questions regarding the conscious veil of secrecy for the MyLot business model, the absence of the ability to redress grievances, and the absence of communication from the MyLot staff. I will anxiously await your sincere effort to address those issues, and finally share with the membership that information which can help them to be more successful contributors to this community.

While you address those very pressing issues, perhaps you might also consider another question, of much lighter magnitude. I recently posted a question about whether or not the members have the ability to directly donate their earnings to a charity of their choice. Specifically, if a member’s favorite charity will accept donations via Paypal, can we the members, submit that charity’s PayPal account number into the members payment information, so that the charity will receive a direct donation?

To further clarify, I do not wish to receive payment into my Paypal account, then transfer it to another Paypal account. I wish to avoid any links between separate organizations, so as to protect my personal information in an always ‘hackable’ internet environment.

So, is this acceptable to the MyLot administration?


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I think donating is a great idea. If there was ever enough users who wanted to donate their earnings to charity, I could see us building in an automated way of doing this. Until then, I don't see a built-in way to do this happening.

You might try sending a message to mylot_Payments and asking if she can manually redirect your payment to the address of your charity, if that's something you'd really like to do.

Dear Crash and Mylot,

I've been through 3 pages of questions and I have not seen this addressed as of yet, and while sort of has been issued around it, I want to talk about the break down of communication between mylot and the members ie system maintenance, responding to inquiries, problems with mylot......the list goes on.

So many times, and I know you are flooded with emails, that we try to get in touch with admin, and our emails and concerns go unanswered......and very few of us have a chance to ask our questions.

I have a question for admin that I haven't addressed simply because I feel it a why waste the time type thing.....

If I were to send Mylot a question about my fears of them stopping using PayPal, would I get an answer? this is the breakdown in communication I am talking about, I've emailed mylot numerous times in the 9 months I've been here with various problems, questions and concerns, but no one takes the time or has the time to respond....

Mooch

PS I think it would be beneficial for mylot to have a specific question area for where the staff can come and address concerns and questions for them and major announcements, or to be able to put in more alerts, like when there is a change of TOS, or maintenance, or a sudden system problem, it would solve everyone trying to flood you with emails....

Some place where staff could come when htey had a few spare minutes to go to answer our questions, new questions stuff like this.

Ty for considering this suggestion


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

We're obviously working on improved communication. There's a fine line between maintaining costs (the lower our costs, the more revenues we can share with users for their positive contributions to the community) and properly communicating with our members.

Yes, we are absolutely flooded with inquiries. I'm not gonna make any promises at this point other than it's something that we're aware of, and it's something we're working on. The first step was getting me here!

Paypal is the highest online payment mechanism you will find. We will definitely be using them now and in the future.

Welcome, Crash! You are the best decision myLot has made! I have read through all the questions, and the responses you have made so far. Now I've forgotten where I left off where YOU left off. I will have to come in and check your responses frequently. It would be nice to be able to know when responses are made to discussions we responded to, but I'm guessing that would be too much of a chore, if not impossible.

My question is, however, that I have seen so many people complaining that a certain someone has gotten mad at them and gone and rated them negatively. This puzzles me. How is it possible for someone to know if and when they are rated positively and negatively, and who does it? I think anonymity is of utmost importance in the rating system because a stampede could occur. So my question is, CAN someone know who and when they are rated? Thanks.


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Absolutely not. We guard this information like gold in Fort Knox!

You are correct, anonymity is of the utmost importance in the rating system.

Hi there Crash! Welcome to myLot. My question is how couldthe site make it easier for those of us who are not familiar with html to add things to our profile page? I have tried over and over again to add a music player to my page but it never works.


Crash (7)   ranked 1,299 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

You're right, the profile pages need some work. Look for some improvements in that area coming down the pipe.

In the meantime, you could always start a discussion and let some HTML-savvy myLot members help you out.


myLot reputation of 34/100. zukepr (11799)   ranked 19,297 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I can actually answer this one
the HTML sortie boxes are a little whacked
Once you get the code for your music player add a< br> before and after it when you paste it into the sortie box
For some reason you have to add those breaks to get anything to work properly on the profiles
