[b]1. Will you purposely start a controversial subject in order to get many responses ? 2. Would you add all people you see as friends just so they will answer your discussions but you never respond theirs ? 3. Would you just add people to send them referral links even if they don't want this ?[/b] Personally i wouldn't do any of the above, as i try to add as friends only the people who answer my topics after checking their profile to see if i can answer at least 1 discussion from them. I also accept all invites from friends, and sometimes i regret it as they try sending me their links (even if i don't want them) and i have to delete them most of the times.

Yes, i see, my earnings are close to yours as well (just a little over 5$) and i am not sure that i can reach payout this month as i also have a lot of work to do before the month ends. I am sure however that i will still be a member next year as well.

Well here are my response to your questions: 1. No I won't do that. I've been in mylot for 2 years now and I seldom start a discussion. I just love to answer discussions, and also glad whenever I am rated as best responder. 2. No I just add people who added me, and I also invited few of my friends here. I am a mylot member for 2 years but I have only 20 friends in my list. 3. Based on my answers above, it clearly shows that I won't go that far to earn more. I am here and replying to discussions because I want to and I am enjoying it. I am a working mommy online and I am receiving a decent amount from my paid blogging works, paid reviews, graphic designs and quizwriting. You can't expect to receive big bucks in mylot and I am not here for that. I love this site not for the payment I receive but because of the good interaction of readers and posters :)

To be honest... My intention here at first was to reach my patout every month! But as time goes by... I started to enjoy doing this that earning money was last on my list. I just simply write any topic that pops out in my head... whether controversial or not. I never added friends just for my topics to get noticed... I added them up to simply meet new friends online. And lastly, I have no time for reffering my friends here... if ever that I have the time, I would just inform them and never forced them to join. There you go... I guess both of us doesn't believe those ways pf earning money. :) NICE TOPIC by the way! God bless you my friend and your beloved girl!

Hi elitess, I don't post many discussions, but I always try to response to everyone on my friends disucssions but what I like is a good meaty discussion which I can really get ino it, but I find more and more is a silly questions asking what I have breakfast or going on about websties that I have no attention joining and giving this link and that link, money money all the time. I am not interested, I am debating wether to delete them from my friends list or put their notification off, or just skip it from my in-box. Tamara

I can think some interesting subjects to discuss.I don't add some people as my friends just for answer my discussions.I think do this is not good,or some people want to add to me.My English is not good,sometimes it is difficult to discuss.I am learning hard.I feel eran much money is difficult for me,I only want to learn more English as possible as I can.

I don't believe that i would do any of those things. I mean I want to earn a bit of money while i'm here, but I don't want to do it by or for the wrong reasons.

Hey elitess, How far? Id say far enough.. 1. Dont see the point in wanting to get many responses since we only get credited once and probably some few extra from all the + ratings (if ever). 2. That wouldnt be really asking for their friendship, more like abusing the system and taking advantage of people. 3. I wouldnt want it either. Golden Rule. I also do accept every friend request that I get, initially giving them the benefit of the doubt. Some have become inactive but Im fortunate that most of my friends are good people. So far there's only one friend who's relentless in PM-ing to promote his sites. Glad that my profile hasnt been exploited to be a spam medium something like that. Then again, I can just delete those kinds of comments. Well, goodluck with those who keep on sending you their links. Thanks for being a friend as well.

Here are my answers to your questions 1) No I would not, because I may end up starting pointless discussions. 2) No. I respond to discussions which I think I can contribute positively. 3) No, even though I have links which I would love to pass round.

I like to start a lot of topics on my "Random Thoughts." For example,"WTF is cream of tartar?" My pc is annoying me because it keeps dying while I try responding to my friend's discussions-hope this gets thru.

1. No, the persons who start controversial are selfish as they just care how many they earn and not how others feel. 2. No, I will add those who really can be friends, and will benefit from each other. 3. No, I don't like people to do so to me, so I won't do it to other people, too.
