I have read so much about people cheating here at mylot. If it's not just by making a lot of posts on the same subject, it's about cheating referrals. I think that it's wrong. I've also read the "dog eat dog" phrase here, and I can't say that I agree. Mylot is a different place, and I really think that people need to be much nicer here. We're all here for the same reasons, whether it be solely money or friendships with a bit of a bonus. I just wish that people would stop taking advantage of the kindness, because it's not just hurting the kind people it's hurting themselves as well. I love that we all team together and stop it in our way. Negative ratings, reporting or just ignoring the person all together. I want to wish everyone here a very wonderfully lovely day!

I hope you have a great day too! I dislike when people with enough posts to copy/paste copy and post the very same response to lots of many discussions. MyLot is all about originality and personality.
Yes, sometimes when I am answering several discussions about the same topic, like a tv show, I will post a response that is similar and covers the same points if appropriate. The main point is that they are all original responses, not carbon copies of one another.
I like when friends let me know that they have found a cheater because I don't want to waste my time responding to a discussion that will eventually be deleted when the cheater is caught. When that happens, everyone who responded to that discussion and earned pennies, loses them.
I don't like reporting people. I don't want to tattle to big brother. I would rather just ignore them.

I know that there are times when my own responses can be similar but I do try not to make them to similar. Sometimes responding can be a little boring but I really thing a great effort should be made because in most cases the person who responded to you has made a great effort to respond. I really appreciate your response to me and can understand that you do not like to report people as neither do I. I also know that we lose our pennies earned from those discussions so I try not to respond, but sometimes I feel I need to respond to let them know that they are not following the guidelines.

I am sorry Trace for what happened. But I still believed that I did the right thing of reporting that kind of discussion because it is very degrading to my personhood. I also have a lot of friends here in myLot and they are also worried when they read taht post saying i am a scammer. I don't even know the woman who started the discussion, she is not also my friend. You should have given me the benefit of the doubt and let me explain of what really happens before accusing me of scammers. I just want to defend myself here and to the community as a whole. I am new to this kind of activities that is why I am quite shocked of what has really happened.

Baby,I have also heard a lot about cheaters here on mylot,and yeah if it is not making posts about the same discussions its about cheating on referrals which I agree it is just wrong,and I can not say I can agree with the "dog eat dog" phrase,and yeah everyone is here for the same reasons,whether it be to make some extra money,or make new interesting friends,and yeah I wish the cheaters would stop taking advantage of the kindness of everyone else,because you are right not only is it hurting the kind people,it is hurting themselves as well,I think it is awesome how people band together to stop it,and I think that if anyone sees someone who they think is cheating the system they should give them a negative rating,and then report them, because if everyone does this,mylot will have to respond and deal with the cheaters, which should make mylot a happier place.

Not everyone will rate a person negatively and even I will not always rate a person negatively. Sometimes I will ignore it, especially if I feel the discussion is stupid. This isn't to say that I haven't gone on a negative rating rampage but only if the person deserves it. I think that your idea of a "hall of shame" is a great idea and have actually responded about that on someone else's discussion. I hope that everyone will see who the scammers are. I appreciate your response to me, I love you!

Yeah this is true,not everyone would rate people negatively,and I myself do not always do it,because I like to see the best in people,and sometimes it is better to just ignore the discussion,and I am glad that you like my idea of a hall of shame,and I hope other people like it too,because it would really help point out the cheaters and scammers on mylot,and I was more than happy to respond to you,and I love you too with all my heart and soul,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

well for sure mylot will notice it and they will not get any credits on that., why do they have to cheat in the first place ., for me thosse people who do that kind of tactics will be after the money and its not good! we all know that we can't get rich here cause a little amount that we gain here is just an additional for us and what i wanted and why i stick here in mylot because i enjoyed participating to discussions and make friends., nothing more can ever make me happy as like mylot did! thanks a lot for the wonderful idea! lets have fun guys!

now this is something one would love to read!
I spend my time here trying to be responsible for whatever I write.. and if I find that I'm gonna repeat my self somewhere in my discussions then I just don't answer!
and it's not that I'm afraid of my account being deleted or something.. it's the way I respect my self , I mean I wouldn't wanna be told I'm cheating or repeating or downrated for some ununderstandable reasons!
I think I'll keep it this way.. and I'm not in a hurry for the money!

I am glad that you are responsible for your own discussions and that you are not concerned with earning money here. I am also glad that you see it as also respecting yourself. Have a Wonderfully Lovely Day!

Hello SomeCowgirl,
Yes I do qgree with you here, I'd like to think we are all frieds here and I was enjoing myself here. I hven not been on Mylot for long and I have made so many nice people but someone was so rude to me because i diagree with what he had to say and he was so insulting to other Mylotters and I put him straight so he so very rude tome and I felt hurt. No need for that. But I hope that we can all get on together and stop all that back stabbing.
Tamarafireheart.

People can be rude here and I have found that out myself. There was once a guy who posted on one of my discussions and was rude to me. His facts were not right, and well he was basically making assumptions. I appreciate your response to me, hope you have a wonderfully lovely day!

I think that that is a good idea but sometimes tags will not show up so there is no guarantee that it will show up each time. Maybe even a symbol that we can use so that it wouldn't be out right pointing a finger but so everyone knows that this person is a cheater. I appreciate the idea and have seen that you used it on another person's discussion!
