I would like to have a feature where ONLY my friend's list is able to receive my messages. At this time, I know that I can send messages to my friends but we have to send a message one by one. Thus, it is a time-consuming. What do you think about this feature?

That's a very bad idea. I hate it.
The spammers would have a field day with that.
Like all those members who chase referrals for their various money making websites.

But myLot can give a choice whether we want to turn it on or off. That's why we have to select whom we want to network with. The current feature can also make spammers to send unsolicited messages when they join our friend's list?

Yes... it is true that we can turn their notification off. I just don't want to make it easy for them.
The simple fact that they need to write 200 separate messages for their 200 friends... is enough to talk them out of doing it.
Spammers needs to reach a large number of people in one go in order to make any kind of money... as the response rate to their request would barely be one per cent.
You are not going to spend the whole day sending 200 separate messages to get 2 referrals.

That would be nice to have for an optional feature for those who want it. It really doesn't matter to me though. I can see your point though. I think if they made it optional for us to choose it, that would make you and some others happy but those of us who do not really need it could choose otherwise.
