Is mylot moving away from its goal and dignity?

Today I highly disappointed on seeing a task in mylot..It is a sign up offer for a PTC site..As per the terms of mylot, we should not try to gain any financial benefit directly here by placing our referral links or in any other way.And that's why we are given the opportunity of PM ,if we still want to do so..But it seems the task is breaking the entire thing...So for the tasks gave no gain to the task creators directly.They did it for us...But now..Is mylot is a Get paid to try site? Or is a PTC site which is having some sign up offers? Though the members are getting benefited from this ,I feel very much disappointed...

I have seen that particular task that youmention too and I am in doubt that it is within the Terms. I wanted to create a task myself yesterday and it was something similar to the one there but I did not do it because the Terms state that 'direct marketing' is not allowed in the tasks.
Possibly when myLot see that task they will also think that it does not comply with the Terms and remove it. I am sure they will do everything to keep the tasks as they should be and within their Terms. Otherwise I agree with you that this is not what the tasks seemed to be intended for

Gosh!
Do you realise that this is just one of the many discussions that actually got the attention of the admins and changed thing? 
Now they are no longer to found on the tasks once the ones that were already created will have expired.
Well done myLot
and thank you for the BR!
Happy Lotting!

That is my conclusion too
They are aware of the users and the things we are happy about and the others which give us doubts. Where they can they listen and adjust things, sometimes even without telling us.
Whatever they do always appears to be for the best of both the users and myLot. Then we go off and tell others and more new users arrive.
They also altered the rating system
after we pointed out the faults with it too
They are there, just like Big Brother!

Yes, it is true. Although Mylot aim is that we should not try to gain any financial benefit directly by placing our referral link here. but still it occurs and even I felt a bit disappointed regarding this. Anyway, it's all happening in Mylot.

I did not believe my eyes on seeing this at the first time.Also the task creator had mentioned some conditions to take the task.If we want to take the task, our previous tasks should not had been rejected for more than 5 times. I really don't understand this.Why they are having such thing.As the number of tasks are increasing ans hence the task rejection may also increase accordingly.I took a task yesterday, to find the web site address and contact details.It took me nearly 2 hours to find the 7 site address and I was not able to submit in time.Even if we submit them incompletely then they are going to reject...Here the number of rejection will increase. I did not expect such a activity from mylot.Thanks for your response.
