Crash (7)   ranked 1,297 out of 32,455 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???

Hello Crash, thanks so much for taking the time answering people's question. My question is, is there a way I can change my user name? When I first started mylot I spelled my user name incorrectly, I meant to put "sweetangel88" instead of, "sweetangle88" thanks.


myLot reputation of 32/100. MaxPower1971 (661)   ranked 16,896 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Done! You will need to use the correctly spelled username now, otherwise you won't be able to login.

Hello Crash
Are the members here at Mylot able to be sabotaged by other members ie: star rating abuse or even get banned/suspended accounts just because there opinion may not be the same as the general consensus.


Crash (7)   ranked 1,297 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

No. Repeated violations of the community guidelines is what gets you into serious trouble.


myLot reputation of 34/100. zukepr (11799)   ranked 19,238 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

repeated violations?
What if there arent any repeated violations?
What if there arent any violations at all?
Why are there GOOD users being banned and the ones that persistantly violate guidelines, get banned and come back time and time again still reeking havoc on the good users here?

I would like to know how to submit a blog to mylot and have it be accepted. I've tried several times and it was denied. What do I need to do to make my blog acceptable for mylot?


Crash (7)   ranked 1,297 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Hmm, does the blog currently contain original content? Is it established? Is it tightly focused towards one category? Is it a personal blog, or something that the world would enjoy reading, not just your friends?

Those would be the first questions I'd ask myself.

Hi there Crash!
Since you can;t discuss individuals issues for all to se, as you previously stated, I have following question which I hope you can answer without bending the rules.
Is there any way you can look into the banning of Sndcain and see what the deal is? And a little follow up question,why don't members get informed when they have been banned and why?
She has no clue to why and what and that hardly seems fair.


myLot reputation of 34/100. zukepr (11799)   ranked 19,238 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

That was going to be my second question since my first one didnt get a proper answer
Can you at least look into the matter of Sndcain's banning?


Crash (7)   ranked 1,297 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Sorry, we still can't discuss individual members in the public area.

I can tell you this. Reinstatements do occur. But we need to feel confident that the community guidelines violations will not occur again. Accepting responsibility also goes a long way.


myLot reputation of 47/100. MSV1313 (2243)   ranked 7,507 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I'm pretty sure if you bring her back, you will not see any violations from her (unless they are in someoen's imagination who then files a bad report). You will also see a lot LESS of her avatar as we will all revert to our own avatars. There's also be a lot less "temporary discussions" popping up asking you to give us back our friend. There would probably be more "We Love MyLot" discussions and "Crash is great" discussions though.


myLot reputation of 34/100. zukepr (11799)   ranked 19,238 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

There were no violations to begin with
ANd if there were someone should probably tell Sndcain what they were instead of shutting her out and dropping her on the curb like yesturday's garbage
How can she possible accept responsibility for something when she doesnt know what she did and no one will tell her?


myLot reputation of 47/100. MSV1313 (2243)   ranked 7,507 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Amen zukepr!
If members do something wrong, it would be nice if they were told so that they could avoid making that mistake in the future.

Why do people love Mylot so much, despite of the fact that sometimes members do not earn as much as they expect. How come people become addict to mylot so soon?

Lol. Because there are a lot of topics to choose from.=D And its fun seeing people with the same interests with different opinions. . .well given that it doesn't start a flame war lol.^^ I see the monetary incentives as a bonus to be more active in such a site. . .haha. Too bad I can't use any of the fund in my paypal yet even if I DID reach payout. . .I'd need to verify it with a credit card or checking account first. .-sighs- Or wait till my account is 2 months old so I can apply for a paypal debit card. .I'm so impatient lol.

I think the myLot members can best answer this, but to me, it seems like "the people". That's why members love myLot so much.

Help people out! Construct well-thought-out responses to user discussions. That's the best advice I can give.

Hi Crash. Two months ago I posted a discussion here entitled "MyLot Administrator Member" which speaks about the idea of an administrator in the MyLot discussion area. I thought that it would be a great idea for MyLot to maintain good communication to its members. When I read your profile and the reason why you are here I felt happy. That was exactly my thought of having a MyLot administrator in this forum.


My question is: Given, for instance, a situation where there are members in dispute, how can you make yourself fair and tough in dealing with them and mediating in disputes within the discussion area? Do you think you can maintain a position here where you can be tough and strict with the policies of the forum, and yet approachable and friendly to the members?


I asked this question because I am in another forum where the administrator is rough in communicating with members. Rough in a sense that when he states the new policy or rule he would say "if you break this and that we deduct points from you, no questions asked...or if you can't stick with this policy you should not stay in this site, blah blah blah..."


We all love MyLot that's why we are here. I hope this is another step forward towards making this site a better place.


Thanks for the time.


Crash (7)   ranked 1,297 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I wouldn't ever expect to see me in the role of dispute management. Personally, I hate to referee! I know we need them in life (and on myLot), but it's not something I have the desire to be a part of.

That being said, we have some people here at myLot that I feel are very good at being fair and tough. They handle the disputes. For obvious reasons, we keep this information off of the public area. We feel that those discussions contribute negatively to the overall experience of myLot.

For this reason, I doubt you will ever see a myLot administrator floating around the discussions refereeing disputes. I've never really considered us a "forum" anyway, although I can see why we're oftentimes lumped into that category. Forums can oftentimes be dominated by those with power. At myLot, we have all the power, and for that reason we feel it's best to stay out of your public discussions in most cases.

Our biggest problem is that our best dispute managers have a lot of other responsibilities and are strapped for time. This is something we're aware of and hope to improve upon in the future.

Hi Crash! I have other questions that I need answers, but this is the one I'm most curious of, and I think you're the only one who can answer it.. Will you be accepting friend request? I viewed your profile and saw no friends..

If this question has been posted before me, please have mercy. I read the other questions ahead of me but I have no time to read them all since I only have few minutes left before I sign-out for the day..


Crash (7)   ranked 1,297 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

I haven't decided yet. I'd hate to set the expectation that I will be able to respond to everybody's messages. There's no way that could happen with me personally. I'm trying to think of a creative solution, but I don't have on yet.

This is great, Crash! MyLot ROCKS, but the last time I saw a discussion started by a myLot staffer, I got so happy and excited that I just automatically hit the "Add as a Friend" button on the staffer's profile, thinking that then I could just turn NOTIFY on and be sure of getting an alert every time useful information was posted. Oops.

In retrospect that was not so brainy, but it does illustrate how literally starved we are for staff interaction, and especially for information. I don't want to miss out on any of your gems of wisdom, especially having once run afoul of a no-no that wasn't actually in the guidelines, but was apparently addressed in a discussion myLot staff started before I was a member, and which I'd never seen. You can be sure I never did THAT again, lol.

So is notify automatically "on" for all 100K+ of us whenever you start a new discussion or do we have to stalk your profile?

PS: Thanks much for making myLot even better by reaching out to the members in this way!




Crash (7)   ranked 1,297 out of 32,455 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Please stalk my profile for now. But I've got an Alert button that I carry around in my pocket as well! If it's something important, I will be sure to couple that discussion with an Alert like we did for this one.
