Can you tell whether a person on here is here just for the money?

I have been thinking about this for a while and was really wanting to know if anyone else could tell the difference. Can you sniff out the ones who are here for green, or are you oblivious to their devious ways (this is in no way saying they are devious). I will be the first to admit that I am here for the money but that doesn't mean that my quality of discussions here and the responses as well, should falter. I will admit that on occasion my answers can be akin for something, but that doesn't mean that I will continue to not give quality responses. I appreciate everyone's opinions, and would love to hear them. However, I do ask that you please respond seriously! As always, I hope that you all have a wonderfully lovely day!

I think the only ones that are blatantly here for only the money are those that start discussions with one sentence and/or give relies that are one or two words

This is very true, and I have noticed that. However, mostly I have seen only the noobs here doing that. I hope that they will learn that it doesn't get them much money. I appreciate you response. Darkjedi you are very right in saying that they are not getting them much money from such little content.

Well I think it is hard to unless all they post is about referrals and wanting you to come look at their profile and see where they make money. I mean I am here for the money mainly, but I like to give quality posts and love the discussions.

Yes there are alot of those and even so people who are cheating other members here. I agree that it can be a bit overbearing to see so many people post a discussion about referrals. I think that it's either noobs who don't know much or people who want to post a discussion so that they can make money.

Baby,I have to say that sometimes I can figure out which ones are simply here for the money,because they are the ones who do couple line responses,and start discussions with only one or two lines,even though there are some who are so clever that I can not filter them out as people solely here for the money,especially ones who do long discussions,but do it just for the money,and not to add to the quality of mylot,and I will admit I am here for the money as well,but I will not let that keep me from making quality discussions,and giving quality responses,as the way I feel to make money you have to acquire to do quality anyway,because the only way to make money is to work hard,and do the best you can.

I should say i was like that before.It's the reason why i was here,why i signed up.But as the days go by,i got the chance to have some friends around here.I get to ask some ideas,opinion or advices to some problems.I learn to love this place and see it as a family you can turn to when the time is rough and tough.I can say now it's totally different.It's all the fun and enjoyment,the ideas,and everything in here that made me stay.And hope that newbies would find their way to appreciate this site as one big family and the earnings on the side

I cannot detect if a person is just up for the money here in mylot. Getting a star for me is already a prize I am proud of.I am not even aware that my star has changed as well bec. I concentrate more in answering and creating discussions and to read the views of my new friends.Mylot is my outlet to share my views and opinions.If my earning will increase..it's fine if not it's fine as well.I am more of gaining friends and reading the views of people here in mylot.Maybe the reason why I don't concentrate on my earnings it's bec.I have a job and sometimes I am guilty of not responding bec. it's really stressful at work that sometimes all I have to do is read my comments from my discussions. But I people here at up to gaining friends and not for the money. ;p Happy mylotting

I am glad that you are here for the friendships and different views more then the money. It makes the money just that much sweeter because it's more of a reward then it is for a goal. I appreciate your response and am so happy that there can be quantity and quality and not worrying about the money. I hope that you have a very lovely and wonderful evening!

i have found that those people who are only in it for the money will post very short comments. maybe one or two lines and jump to the next topic whether they know anything about it or not. then there are those that only post one or two words. or babble on and on about a topic they really know nothing about to make the conversation seem long but really it is just the same thing repeated over and over again. personally i am here to make money. but i dont just post to post. i am very picky on the topics that i respond to. i think that an experience or the like is what makes the conversation worth sharing.

I have seen a lot of people post on discussions and not contribute anything that has anything to do with the discussion at hand. I have had to respond to a few of those on my own discussions, this one included. I get aggravated by it , but I respond and move on as it isn't anything that should really be bothersome. I am glad that you are a picky poster and I think that we need a lot of those kind of discussions so that we can weed out the ones who are here for the money and do not care for the quality of their discussions. I really appreciate your response to me and I hope that you have a very wonderfully lovely day.

I will admit it right off the bat, I am here for the money, but I am also here to talk to others and to get feedback about certain issues. By the way, to those of you not responding to my "Academic Probation" discussion... come on! Just search it if it is no longer on the home discussion boards. It can be a great discussion if you make it one, and you will earn some money for it.

I will say that It is nice getting paid for the discussions I join in. I have noticed that there is some that post and post and post. I have yet to figure out how to sit all day to do that, truthfully not sure if I would want to either.. lol I post to ones that interest me, I seem to read more then post. Either way Im still liking this place, getting a feel for it still. I joined a long time ago but have just now started to use it. Im not sure how they pay, didnt even look into that part, I just join in when I find something interesting, or at least read it.

I agree that there are some who post and post and post. I will not deny that in some ways I can be found doing just the exact same thing, guilty as charged. It is also nice to get paid for the discussions we join in and respond to. I think that it is also very nice though if they are of good quality. I really appreciate your response, and I hope that you have a very wonderfully lovely day.

There's nothing wrong in being on myLot absolutely for money. We all have our own reasons to join myLot and nobody has a right to question that. As far as we abide by the rules and regulations set up for users, that's fair enough to be a part of mylot. I don't really bother that much who is here for what, to say so, because it doesn't come lie under my areas of focus.

I believe that everyone has their right to be on mylot for whatever reason. However I think that more and more people are not making quality discussions or responses. This can get in the way of the people making the money as well as aggravate the person to whom started the discussion. I appreciate your response to me, and I hope that you have a very wonderfully lovely day!

I think that as long as they are posting quality discussions and responses, it does not matter whether they're here for the socialization or for the money. On the other hand, if they're just here posting discussions that are whines about their daily life, or "Hello, I'm back" type things, then I think they should be warned and then removed.

I think that you are very right in saying that people should be warned and removed if their discussion is very short and only a "hello I am back" subject body. My fiance has agreed in saying that he has seen these type of posts and that they are very annoying. I really appreciate your response to me and I hope that you have a very wonderfully lovely day!

I am not here just for the money no I love my friends here and enjoy responding to them.

I am glad that you are here for the money and that you try to keep the discussions in good quality. I like reading good quality discussions and from the discussions I have seen from you, it seems that you do make good quality discussions. I appreciate your response, Have a Wonderfully Lovely Day!

Well honestly I'm here primarily because of green and to make more greens it is quite obvious that you need quality responses. Secondary reason is because I want to impart my wit and to be able to share useful and worthy things here. So I believe it is a must to be serious in whatever we post here so that whatever is our purpose for being here, it will always serve it. If one does not.. he will be the only loser not anyone else.

I wouldn't deny that i'm here for the money.Afterall why be ashamed?Nobody feeds us,we have to take care of ourselves.I don't know why i just put it that way.I've been feeling annoyed these past few days because i cant seem to find time to do much here on mylot.I read about people making $4 everyday and i can't help laughing at myself.I've been here for 3months or so and i still haven't reached my first payout.I have only $4 in my account.Its been steadily declining for me since i stopped posting discussions about a month back.I only respond to the other discussions because i seem to have run outta things i want to discuss and i don't want to post just anyhthing.So i don't just care about the money i make but also the activity.I don't want money affecting the quality of my discussions.

I love the last line of your response to me "I don't want money affecting the quality of my discussions." I think that the money has affected the quality of people's discussions here and that they are only making a few lines here and there. I hope that you can spend more time here and that you can reach your next payout. I appreciate your response to me, and I do hope that you have a very wonderfully lovely day.

It's not a shame here to post for money in mylot. i speak english as a second language and i do write some long structured sentences as some might observe. And i answer with all i can. there's nothing wrong,i believe. if i speculate your starting this controversial discussion topic to get more responses to earn more money, you wouldn't be happy either. So please, we are all happy here and we love to share too.

I know it's not a shame, but the people who post such short discussions really aren't helping us make the money. I appreciate your response, and I hope you have a very wonderfully lovely day!

i think you can guess whom are the ones here just for earnings. ones that do as least work as possible if think it not earn.. that means no communication with people , not leave a nice thank you as a comment for responses as maybe cant earn from that. so are just doing discussion after discussion with no effort.. Expect to get responses from in their friends list but don't respond to theirs.. Some i know are here for friendship and all things about mylot because always comment and reply to comments in very nice friendly way. And those are the type i prefer to have in my friends list Really stupid, because we make few cents a day for too much work if its only for the earning.. and if i was purely here for money.. i would not still be here now

o i forgot to also add.. the drama queens that make episodes of their dramatic life's also, some can stoop to level of running them selfs totally down just for the responses.. i am sure you seen many of them lool One was in wheelchair with 10 kids no man, no money
