Hi, how do you feel about that?
I recently posted a discussion about how I earned $5.00 from a survey site and there were a few responses
However some of them were question about how I earned those money and what survey site I can recommend to them
When I was preparing to answer them, I notice another user had went into my discussion and responded with an answers with their blogsite address. It happen twice when ever someone responded to my post, the other user will immediately post their response as if they were answering for me.
I know I was quite discouraged, even though my discussion was not to gain any referral but just to share my latest earning.
I thought It was against the TOS of Mylot to post blogsite address. I did it before and my discussion was removed. How do you feel about it If it happen to your discussion?

I thought that was against the rules too. I would have been discouraged too. If that person wanted to ask you how you attained those earnings, it is up to you to follow up with a site and perhaps a referral. I think it's rude that someone quickly jumped in with there referral link. If I find a response to a discussion that I have information to I think it's more appropriate to pm someone or have them look at my site. But not if it's something similar to what the discussion starter is doing for earnings. Just my opinion. Hang in there!

Thank you Waters for sharing my opinion about this.
I thought iwas was against TOS but it may not. Not sure, but I thought it was not appropriate but gave it no thought, until the second response I got, I saw the same user replying with her/his link. So I thought Gee... What happened

That is really rude and I hope that I have never done that to you or anyone else. It is against the TOS to add links to the conversations and eventually those people will get caught. I have not had this happen to me. Sorry this has happened to you my friend.

My weekend. Hmmm. I did not feel like we had a weekend.
It was quite but quite for me is when there is less than 20 tantrums a day for my daughter. She has improve a bit but lately, her behavior got a little agressive. I will be talking to the therapist about it this Friday.
Do you get a lot of rain during fall and winter?
new floorings in the other room, that sounds like a good project for long weekends.
I wish you luck and hope to see some pix soon.

I am glad to hear that your daughter is improving some. The agressivness though could be bad. I hope the theripist can help you all work on it. We usually don't get this much rain. This year in the spring and now towards the fall we are getting a lot. We have had flooding in our local area about 5 times over the course of this year. Some of our lakes are still up over the picnic areas. We get usually one good snow a year in the winter. It will be a while before I get the floors done. I got to get some boards for our front pourch it is trying to rot out from under us. Then I am also saving my money from my new wah job for a trip I have been trying to go on for the last three years. I think at the rate i am going I will be able to take it next year. Plus I want to try tio get a new trampoline and maybe one of those above ground swimming pools for the kids. Then I might do the floors. Fun first if I can lol then floors.

Oh yeah that is true we have all been newbies but not all that do this are newbies. But maybe once it happens to them they will quit doing it to others. I am really happy with my new floors. But boy the ones by the front door are slicker than snot if your shoes are damp on the bottom. Been having a lot of rain here and there has been many times one of us has almost busted our hinnies. Going to have to put a area rug donw by the door I guess. I think I want to do all the front room floors and my bathroom floor one of theese days. Did you have a good weekend?

There are times when someone may actually ask for referals to various sites, at which point i will post one of the many links that I have for various sites, but just to do is randomly is spamming, in my opinion. People need to stop and think before they put their referal link in the wrong place. Also, in the case of a site like MyLot, if it is put in the wrong place, the response may be deleted.

I definetly agree with you. I would only mention the information a user asked about. But I do not believe I posted my blog site link by responding to somebody else's discussion unless it was asked for directly by a user.
otherwise I would be taking the discussion away from the user who started it .
Thanks for sharing my views on this topic.
happy mylotting.
