Complainers

I truly understand your point. But when it is every single day about the exact same thing it gets to be a little much. I think that everyone should know about the cheaters (which I think most know quite a bit) but every day same complaints is a little much.

Sorry if I sound naive. But I am new at this and I have some questions If anyone could care to answer: 1.) How can you tell if someone's a cheater. 2.) what is there to cheat about? (I find the rules quite simple and see no reason to do so -You participate and get paid for it - Am i right up to now?) 3.) And the killer one, how do you cheat?

As easy as the guidelines are to follow some people have a difficult time doing so. There are some who will just go to a discussion and type the same message over and over again. The message they type has nothing to do with the discussions at all. Or you have those who steal or plagiarized their response by copying what someone else has written. These are just a couple of ways there are more.

I think it might be just for the response because these discussions do have a load of responses to them. But that is another thing that bothers me. The discussions that are simply what is your favorite color end up with hundreds of responses. Now the ones that take a little more thought to respond to get left behind and ignored. What is your favorite color anyway? (Sorry had to be a smarty) Mine is purple. :) mahmah

lol santuccie, thank you for giving me your favorite color. that is also a very nice color. that is my favorite color to wear. ;) mahmah

My favorite color is dark green, like the darkest evergreen needles.

You are right. That is just so true. Thank you for your response. :) mahmah

amen to that whiteheater lol. why make yourself nuts over it? no matter where you go you are gonna find some cheaters, even in the "real" world. thank you for your post. mahmah

I am glad for you that you don't have to see these annoyances. I have also never seen a specific name but if you read carefully you can find your way to who they are talking about. lol I also don't think that it reduces how much we earn but it might affect how long a site will be here for us to enjoy. A lot of sites like these get shut down because of excessive cheating etc.

Most people find them as a fluke occurance. other people hunt them down it seems. I don't have exact names and if i did i couldn't post them anyways because that wouldn't be appropriate. Why they are cheating is also a question I can't answer? Who really knows why except for the actual cheater. How will you know if they are cheating, 1. Any plagurized material that isn't properly marked with a link to visit actual location of article etc is cheating. 2. someone that goes to different topics and posts the same discussion (typically using the copy and paste feature) that has nothing to do with the topics is considered cheating. 3. people who go to one discussion topic say "Johnny Depp" for example and responds to every single discussion there with the same response (something that is obviously copy and pasted) that is also cheating.

I guess I am just the exception because I see the complainers first thing every time I jump onto myLot. Oh well. Thank you for your "krazy" imput. mahmah

Yes I am complaining but once. I will never mention it again. The kind of people I am talking about are the people that their only discussions they have ever started (we are talking ten plus pages here) are complaints about the cheaters on mylot, or what this one did to that one. And these are grown adults (atleast according to their profile, I know some dont use true age but I do so...) and they are reminding me of high school. Same complaints, same comments, same attitude. Complaining about something once or twice as compared to ten times in one week. Huge difference.

I didn't say I turn a deaf ear, what I am trying to say is, is it really necessary for a person to spend their entire time online here at mylot complaining about other members and mylot. What is there really to gain from that. I come here to post on comments, not hunt down the cheaters. If I run into one, I report them, but I don't go around looking for them. I am not an older member. (meaning age or period of time here) I just don't see the point. Yes cheaters are deleted but not because "so and so" posted a discussion written about them and their cheating. They have been deleted because their discussions were reported. That is what I am talking about. If I were to talk about a person that I thought was cheating here, they wouldn't be deleted because of it. That is what I am saying. On the other hand, I don't come to mylot to hunt down the cheaters. I am here to have a good time responding to interesting discussions which is hard to do when the first 10 I come across are all complaints about someone or something that has nothing to do with a topic I choose. Personally I think their should be a special section under "things I like to do" titled "complain" and that is where all of these posts should go, not in the middle of money, or a certain movie, or an actor. Thank you for your insight and have a wonderful day. :)mahmah

Thanks for the best response rating. I truly appreciate it. I do understand where you are coming from, and I still see it as I log on today. I try to avoid those posts and move on to more positive ones.

Definitely. Complainers just get me down. And make my day a whole less productive. It's true that there are things in life we have no control of. I always ignore the topics full of complaints, I'd rather go to those which is fun and would add more value to my being. =) Congratulations on your best response. =) Here's a Joke about complainers: Brother John entered the "Monastery of Silence" and the Abbott said, "Brother, this is a silent monastery; you are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until I direct you to do so." Brother John lived in the monastery for five years before the Abbott said to him, "Brother John, you have been here five years now; you may speak two words." Brother John said, "Hard bed." "I'm sorry to hear that," the Abbot said. "We will get you a better bed." After another five years, Brother John was called by the Abbott. "You may say another two words, Brother John." "Cold food," said Brother John, and the Abbott assured him that the food would be better in the future. On his 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Abbott again call Brother John into his office. "Two words you may say today." "I quit," said Brother John. "It is probably best, you've done nothing but complain since you got here." =)
