I'm curious....how many of you out there spend your time trying to figure out new ways of how to spam people?? There has got to be a better direction to go. That's what I'm trying to find....a way to help, learn and in the end, make enough to pay some freakin bills!!It gets a little old trying to dissect every peace of advice so as to not "fall" into something "unexpected".
I guess I will just keep "sifting" threw the "trusted" advice that I get.
Thanks to all that have tried to help. I will talk with some of you soon.
Just frustrated...

Hi Tidwell1,
Welcome to MyLot.
I guess you have received the first bit of spam from people on your friends list. It happens and you can never be sure who it will come from. That is one of the reasons that I am more selective when accepting friend requests.
But do not be under the impression that MyLot is just people spamming you, it is a great community here with some great decent people on here. So don't just give up on it out of frustration. Just chose your friends wisely.
Hope you enjoy your time here

I always leave new friend requests pending for a few days and have a look at their discussions and you can usually tell if they are going to spam you, if say someone is just in the money making discussions it can give you a good idea, not always but it is a good indication.

HALF oF MYLOT DISCUSSIONS ARE SPAM!
and i swear it
questions like "which is your favorite ice cream flavor", "do you use windows 7", "do you like windows xp" and such stupid questions make up more than 50% of my lot discussions. i wonder what the admins are doing. i think every thread should be checked upon seriously. and creators of such sub standard discussions should be banned !
I was new to this site and in 2 days i made 200 posts thinking that ill make around $2 but till now ive got only $1.40. all blames upon such pathetic discussions. i should have read the guidelines 2-3 times again and again.
Thirdly, the way mylot pays user is a bit of scam too. mylot should let users know what has their posts earned. how many have been rejected and so on.
After reviewing this site for a couple of days, i find it not upto the mark. Im planning out my blog and website. and once i get everything ready, ill just make $10 and cash out..and never return back :P
Most of the users shall disagree with me, but is just my personal opinion

Well, I'm sorry to hear that your planning on not hanging around here at MyLot...
even with all of the discussions that have been started by people that just didn't invest much time trying to think about a topic that's worth contemplating a response too....it's still a pretty cool forum. There are a lot of GOOD discussions also....
heck, sometimes I even learn stuff!!
I have found some real nice folks here.
If your just here to make money, than it's probably not such a good way to try to earn....pretty slow....but, at the same time, there are a lot of good people from all over with different experiences and are will to share advice, stories, and even just to be able to communicate with a fellow human being that isn't from work, or school, or a neighbor.
Take the good and leave what you don't need.
Hope you hang around.
Thanks for your response....I had forgotten about this discussion. I started it after getting frustrated about not making much money - in general....
Have a good day. :-)

There is tons of spam on mylot. If its not attempts at referrals or people straight up asking for money, its useless posts that are not constructive at all. Its kind of annoying to sift through all of it.

Dear Tidwell,
If I have any online business or online referral I will make spam, but without my benefit I never spam anybody with the mails because I consider that is waste of my time you know?
