Bad English on MyLot, your thoughts on how to stop it??  | | | | I am very new to MyLot, and in the short few days I have been here, I have noticed a few particular people post up hundreds of new discussions everyday, this doesn't bother me at all, if the questions are good and a good discussion question AND if they are put in a way which is easy to understand, but the things I have read are written is such bad English that I find it hard to even know what these people are asking, now I know it would be unfair to stop anybody from non English speaking countries to use this site, but how DO we stop these people from posting in such bad English, with such pointless questions??? They are basically using the site to make money and for nothing else whereas I am here to talk to people, ask serious questions and of course the money is a great addition to that, but it is not my prime reason for using MyLot! So what are your thoughts on the people who use this site just to make money and are constantly posting rubbish and in bad English which is difficult to understand? | | | | | | | | | | Anti-Aging Skin Care For younger, more vibrant skin.

| | Well for me it should well and truly be against the rules for someone to post every couple of minutes discussions which make no sense and are not actually discussion questions. I do not see how "Pancakes are easy to make" is a discussion topic....it was not only the fact of the bad english, I can put up with that and if I was to write on a French website my French would not be perfect, but what I am concerned about is that nobody seems to be stopping some users from posting hundreds of useless discussion topics which are taking up the "new" discussion topics section, and it makes me not want to continue going down and down and down until I find one which makes sense and I want to comment on. I don't personally want to comment on pancakes been easy to make, and I am sure not many others do, this was much more what I was getting at than the english. It is very annoying to not be able to find genuine posts, obviously these poeple dont care about the responses they get to their discussions if they are putting hundreds on within literally seconds of each other... | | | | | | | Anti-Aging Skin Care For younger, more vibrant skin.

| | The way I read this discussion is that it is not really a discussion critiscising the writing or English, more so this constant one line barrage of 'discussions' we are getting from one or two members. No we shouldn't critiscise people who are from different countries who make a very good attempt to write English ( certainly far better than I could write in their language, and my spelling can leave a lot to be desired at times!! I think perhaps this discussion was initially worded wrong, I think that the member is actually making the same point that a lot of us have about the 'Pancakes are hard to make'type 'discussions that are driving the majoriety of us insane!! | | | | | | | stephbond89 (304)

| | yes this is more what I meant, there are lots of people on here who write good discussion points and clearly are not English, but it doesn't bother me when their discussion points are good and something we can all write about. But when the whole "New" page is filled with posts by this one person, which generally make no sense, and are statements rather than discussion topics, yesterday there were 14 within half an hour, that's a post every 2 minutes!! Clearly they are not interested in what people reply saying...just getting money for posting ridiculous discussions! If we can't complain about people who post like that then it is ridiculous. The bad grammer and language isn't the big issue, but the "super posters" are. They should be limited to so many discussion topics a day, even if it was 50 per day, this would cut down the amount of silly discussion posts we have cluttering up the new posts board. | | | | | | | Top Rated Mutual Funds 1.
