Members with 0 resopnses on the list for 3 days....will they see their problem?

Have you had any discussion that didn't get comments? I have a few times and a couple of times I couldn't stand it so I emailed a friend and asked her to go comment on them for me. Just so I could feel better that they weren't sitting there totally empty. Now I have been here a while I don't care so much. If it happens it happens.

You brought up a very good point. Although I have seen a lot of this issue, I have also noticed that there are some very good discussions on mylot that have 0 responses. I know because I have been on mylot for a year now on and off, and have had to deal with not having some of my best discussions replied to. I don't mind because quite frankly, I would rather receive no replies than senseless ones. As a result, I choose to simply respond to meaningful (enough) discussions in hopes that it will bring awareness to the obvious problem on Mylot. Nonetheless, I understand where you are coming from and I think that hopefully that problem will come to an end soon enough. The lack of understanding on Mylot is outrageous and as a result many of us are suffering from it. However, I would just advice you to continue to do your part and not let this issue bother you too much. Yes, it is sad and we may sometimes wonder if anyone even take the time to read instructions and fully grasp them, but remember that wherever we go in life...we will meet up with situations like these. Do your part and do it right, and maybe, just maybe...the world will catch on. Thank you for bringing up such an important point. I truly hope that everyone on Mylot reads this posting. Be blessed and positive always.

oh i know i have seen these, i even accepted a couple as my friends but i just cannot answer their discussions because i don't know how to answer..It looks like they just say anything to get a discussion started..I have been thinking that if things don't change i will have to turn them off.it fills up my e-mail with stuff that you cannot answer too..i know what you are talking about ,i mean i hate to be this way but what can you do? I mean how can you reply to some of those discussions? its really not what i would call a discussion....

I don't think they have read the guidelines and they could ask others how MyLot works.Though you easily can see how MyLot works. So i think it will be a big question marks. I've seen this too with people who just had one line and just a question. I must say in the beginning it's all strange but if others already help you by saying how MyLot works there must be a bell riging in your head.At least in my head it does. Maybe they don't want to see or something could be possible but i don't know.

As much as it pains me to admit it, ctry, lately I have seen a slow-down in responses to some of my discussions. I have started(what I considered), thought-provoking, intelligent discussions on a couple of topics, but I end up receiving only 2 or 3 responses. It is causing me to wonder if I'm just spinning my wheels here on myLot lately. I often browse the discussions with no responses, and can usually find at least a couple that are worthy of a response.

Often when I log on, there are people for whom English is their second language. The mixed up stuff they write confuses most of us. I try to sort it out, reword it, and ask if this is what they mean. They respond with clarification and then sometimes others follow. French is my second language and I'm sure I'm no better in that. So I do try to help them. Sometimes there are cultural problems to overcome too, like they ask about something I've never hear of. I've started one-liners that have gotten me better results than ones where I explained because people were put off by the explanation or it just confused them. But I do try not to have a one-liner. Take care

For some of these people, it is what you suggest. They are failing to read the instructions & want to earn money the easiest & quickest way. For others, I think they are just using My Lot to scam a bit, starting useless discussions & hoping just one person will reply. I have someone on my friends list (who wont last long there), who has all his/her discussions in block letters & generally one liners. I can't work out whether this person lacks english or what?

I wish I had an answer to that last one hon. But I haven't figured it out yet either. I think that when people sign up, there should be a page with EXTRA BIG LETTERS telling them to read the FAQs first before continuing. Of course, I'm sure that wouldn't put a lid on the whole situation either. LOL! Just thinking about it is addling my brain at the moment!

Read about the site Before you start a post? That makes common sense. But these days common sense isn't that common.I don't know if they will get the hang of it or not.I didn't know there were so many who have so many discussions with no responses.I guess if there were more caring members like you, they would understand the rules faster.

I think its laziness. I didn't write any discussions when I first joined and only answered discussoins just to get a feel of what mylot was all about. I didn't actually read the FAQs lol because I couldn't be bothered. I learnt as I went along answering discussions.

Go on shake your head in disbelief. I do.I found one whose user name and discussion title and thedescription were all the same Not using the User name here it went like this. User DOG Discussion DOG Description DOG It was late one night or early one morning. I hadn't gotten much sleep. So I responded. " What about dogs?"Again Dog wasn't the user, but you get the idea.As for the rest, I don't know. I too have reponded to the best of my ability to how mylot works. Even guiding a few to the FAQ page. What else can we do?

Unless these people you are referring to are hurting you in anyway, why are you letting it get to you so much. If you re only talking about earning a solitary dollar with your indepth discussions and answers then they are not costing you any money are they? I am not from the Us but that dosn't make me any less knowledgeable than someone who is... It actually infuriates me that you have nothing better to do than complain about peoples postings. They will soon learn when their posts get deleted if they are putting links in. Some people may actually just getting a feel for the site and getting to know people. I try and respond to everyone who has put a comment on my discussion but i am not going to write three chapters on each.. I am a newbie and even though we have read the info on here the payout structure isn't very clear... Is this a big enough post for you?

Maybe they don't notice they have that many 0 response discussions? I read every link there is on this site, when I first became a member. I also read the guidelines every month to refresh my memory of the rules. I want to make the most of my experiences here. But I think it's okay that newbies ask questions. It gives us easy to respond to postings to do. Sometimes I like to be able to respond to a discussion that I don't have to think too much about. I have one of my discussions that has 0 responses and I don't really care.

You know the old saying "When all else fails THEN read the instructions". It isn't just the language barrier at work here. There is a very nice American that has been posting for the last month that still hasn't gotten it. His posts are often very interesting and he is now getting lots of responses, but he has asked a couple of questions and gotten the right answers and he is either ignoring them or he just doesn't get it.

maybe they didt know that its nice to get a lot of responce and learn from other peoples point of view. i used to have the problem when i started, i used to have one liner discussion and didnt get a reply, so i went and browsed on the top discussion and started learning from it... Maybe theyre not just paying much attention and post just the sake of posting one out.
