Catchy Title? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 82/100. relundad (1581)   ranked 1,013 out of 32,550 in mylot.com1 year ago

Many times I will get a notification that a new discussion has been started or I am searching for something to post, and I will find a catchy title. Seems by the title it is something I might be interested in.

But after reading the post, there is much to be desired. I almost feel like the poster teased me. The poster never asks a question, never states his opinion and sometimes it has nothing to do with the title. It kind of feels like a false start! What a waste of my time!

How often does this happen to you? When this happens will you add something to the discussion or just continue your search?

When I have taken the time to click and read someone's discussion, I will attempt to reply unless the subject matter turns out to be disgusting. I don't like discussions that are about matters people are better off keeping to themselves, such as their bodily functions, illegal things, religious or political controversy, or harsh criticism directed at specific individuals. Just about anything else is fine, except that there are a few topics about which I know absolutely nothing. TV shows would be an example of that.

I know what you mean, sometimes I am like what the heck and try to add whatever I can.

At least you have a point! Some you can't even seem to get that much out of it! Thanks for responding my friend.

First of all there is no rules that say you have to ask a question or ask for an opinion. Sometimes you can just pass on some valuable information or a good joke.
As for the titles, they did exactly what they were intended to do. Get you to read the post. If you are just interested in posts that ask questions maybe you should do some surches and not just look at the titles. This is a sharing site and that can be done in numerous ways. Just because they don't all agree with your thinking does not make them wrong. Enjoy your evening.

Well I didn't make the "do's and Dont's" of mylot. According to them we should not post jokes, recipes, one liners for discussions or responses, poll type questions or just posting information unless you are referencing something....Basically the operative word is Discussion...if you know the definition of that then there you go. Dialogue has to be created, I don't know how you do that without stating your opinion or asking a question that is in relation to it.

And by the way I never said it was wrong. I just voiced my opinion and asked a question.

I don't search for discussions, as all my friends' discussions come to my mail box and it's more than I can keep up with! But I'm very frustrated when I'll see a catchy title--I can't think of one just now--and it turns out they don't reveal at all what their own opinion is, it's just a one line discussion with no meat in it.


myLot reputation of 82/100. relundad (1581)   ranked 1,013 out of 32,550 in mylot.com  1 year ago

Hey dragon, those are the exact one's that I am talking about. I had to turn most of my notifies off as sometimes in a couple of hours I would have 60 or 70 discussions. With a huge portion of them being some guy asking oneliners that require one word answers. Turns out that one of the discussion from the same guy would be that he is trying to post 42 discussions for payout! Ugh!


myLot reputation of 96/100. dragon54u (9646)   ranked 211 out of 32,550 in mylot.com  1 year ago

LOL! Hey, I'm guilty of that once, too. I did post one that said I wasn't going to make payout and the responses helped me make it but it was a valid discussion and I learned how people cope with that situation. It was interesting to me! But yes, I had a guy like that with only one liners. I turned his notifications off. I'll check it back on soon to see how his conversational style has progressed!
