Should there be a limit on the number of post per day?

I totally agree with most everyone here where there needs to be a limit on the number of discussions started each day... or there needs to be a formula where after you reach a certain number of posts a day your earning from the post drop drastically. Lets say that if you do something like this, and these values that I am using are not actually what I suggest, just values to make it easy to understand. If you start posts 1 - 5 you can get $.10 for each post, then 6 - 10 you can get $0.01 for each post, and 11 - 20 you can get $0.001 for each post and so on and so on. So under this plan if you started 20 posts you could only get a maximum of around $0.56 cents for starting the posts, and of course this is only if the posts are quality posts. Okay, so as I was typing this out, it struck me.... Wait, wont this mean that everyone will probably just make up 20 posts a day... which would defeat the purpose. Okay, so no formula, just a set amount of posts that you can start in a 24 hour period.

I agree with the other posters. People that post like this do not receive any responses and if they do, there are not very many.

I don't think there should be a limit to post per day on mylot because I have seen many quality posters posting a lot of posts everyday and it would affect them. But I think there should be some minimum word limit for the discussions so that the site isn't flooded with meaningless one-liners that are posted frequently by different users on same topics or with same repeated questions.

I'm not sure where the idea came from that this site is about quality. I can't say I've ever noticed that. Certainly it's annoying when some people post discussions that are total nonsense, but there are always plenty of really good discussions going if you look for them. I don't think anyone is forced to wade through posts that are rubbish.

"this site is suppose to be about quality, not quantity" i don't understand what made you to come to this conclusion. if you have such an opinion then you can implement it when you open a website similar to mylot. as far as mylot website is concerned its the buzz that we create matters to them. if quality is their objective, why should they pay us first of all?

i dont think limiting the number of posts per day is a good idea. i have joined mylot more for earning.. but now i dont even look at my earnings. Mylot is the best place to hang out after a tired long day. Mylot is filled with fun, information and at same time one can meet new people and make friends.. the more u post the more the people you are going to meet. so i dont think limiting number of posts is a good idea

Don't you worry friend.How much you drum on your keys your earnings are limited here.And there is a limit to the human effort too.And regarding quality a person can ask a chain of quality questions and a dumb can make a stupid one and wait .

i thought we did have a limit to how many we can post,but then again it we had a limit on how much we post we wont make that much money.

well, u cant blame mylot lovers, inshort, i think the goal of mylot is also to make money, why poeple make more discussion and make money so also mylot gets more referrals and more subscribers, as people make money they tend to tell more of theor friends and have something to show them that truly they make money, so let them post as many as they have.

I think maybe when you first start out you should have a limit like before you get to 1000 or 500, because that way everyone would get into the habit of starting only a few discussions, and answering a lot of them. I really hate when i go to new discussions and there is a whole page of one line discussions, all on the same topic, and by the same person. I doubt i am the only one who finds this annoying.

I do not think there should be a limit on posts per day. Some people, like me, if they see a rule like this will think that they are not posting quality discussions even though they are, and limit their posting. Others who write silly posts will keep on posting so it will not do any good. Therefore we should keep things as they are.

I think you're right,sedel1027.What we need is quality but not quantity.So many new discussions are fell down and then I can see the similar ones appears on the top page. I think we should at least make a number of discussions for the users in a short period,for instance,24hours.I hope the administors of mylot can see your discussion and make some improvement.

Yeah, a member of myLot should be allowed to post or reply as much as he wants to. What should not be allowed is spamming. And myLot should bring strong moderation measures to cut down spamming.

I must say that there are indeed several random posts. There are also members who copy and past news links and then comment about them (this isn't an issue, but they make tons of posts when they are here). Should this be allowed, YES! There is also a shortage of things to respond to, so we need all the discussions we can get. Often I come back and find that there is nothing new that I want to respond to. Additionally it takes so much work to make payout I can't even begin to imagine how bad it would be if we were limited in what we could do each day. While there are some who drag down the quality of the site, most work hard to make their money and to communicate with others. This is the best forum I have ever seen!

Nope. I don't think we should really limit it. What happened to freedom in speech? Some people can type quality and quantity. It doesn't mean with quantity, quality would be forgo by it. Why can't we have best of the both worlds? :) It's not too difficult, if everyone tries.

I think there should not be any. There are few who atarts whatever they want. But at the same time few people starts really good discussions here. So it will be a limitations for them.Whatever may be, people who start such random thing will do that random even if it is limited in number.

I don't think there should be a limit. I also believe that if there was one many members would leave. Long ago, when each post was paying more than what it is now, people didn't have to try so hard to post new discussions and in my opinion the quality was better, however now it is complicated to reach pay out each month and if posts were limited it would be even more complicated. I don't have a problem with junk posts and they don't bother me. I usually go trough the lists and choose what I want to respond to, I check my friends discussions and even new discussions, I usually find something there. By the way, if you look at my profile you can see that I rarely start a discussion so I"m not against a limit on post for a personal reason.

I think it is neccessary .many random discussion make me feel bad !

Hi,there! It's good that you're aware of the quality pretty much.I do think the quality counts,but not the quantity.Actually mylot is also doing great work to check that.That's why we have the star rating system here.They have certain rules to analyse the quality.I do think one should post sth which is really meaningful and share things with us when he/she really wants.I post discussions as well as responses when I really have sth to share or when there's sth interesting to me:) Thanks for the discussion and the thought,I hope all of us could try our best to make it! Have a nice day^_^

I think quality is more important than quantity. It is very important to pay attention to the quality. Anyway, I think there shouldn't be any limitation.
