A MyLot Question For You?

i will have to say no to this one. i like mylot as it is. the more u type the more u earn.the more u participate the more u earn. and i dont think your discussion is illegal.

I believe that mylot has their own ways of calculating the earnings. It's really no use speculating how they do this also. Everyone has their own theories on this. However, there would probably not much genuine discussion if there was a list of items you can get paid for. In fact, there are still some people who respond with 1 or 2 words here on mylot. They will not be paid for such posts. One of the goals here is to encourage discussion. Once pay per item is installed, genuine discussions are going to be difficult, as people would be more interested in doing some things over others.

I'm sorry to say that I am not here to agree on this one. :( If Mylot has those specifics then probably a lot of its users will not be happy. Be aware that some of us here do not really respond to a thread of discussion in a qualitative manner, which is Mylot is not happy about , and others are really serious about giving their best thoughts, I think it'd be unfair to the latter if she/he will get the same amount the former is receiving. Also, Mylot can no longer control the quality of such discussion because if we do have such fix amount regardless of its relevance,then, there's no need to be really putting an effort. Plus, those who responded irrelevantly will be disappointed if they will not get even a penny for their work. On the other hand, granting everybody is a responsible poster , commenter and respondent, everything is fair and according to Mylot standard, then, being specific about the payment will give us transparency on how much we will be earning for a day work.There's no guessing game here. However, this is next to impossible as we all know... You're idea is a sound one, though.:)

I prefer this system they have now. I'd like to just stay guessing at how they pay us.

Hi CoffeeAnyone! I believe it's not easy to quantify the value of a post in monetary terms. While one liner is not accepted, again it's difficult to say how many lines would make a decent discussion or a response. The tendency is to give the minimum, if it's quantified and made known, and ultimately quality suffers. The element of surprise here adds to the excitement of myLotting and does serve a purpose.

I'll say no to this one too. Mylot's rules and guidelines have been stable for many years and this rule has helped a lot of people here to be free and not to use mylot alone for earning money but for making friends and airing out their grievances. If such rule would be made, there might be a risk of losing this site due to abuses and I don't want that to happen.

It will never be something simple like that. In order to have payment, there must be some kind of income. In order to have that, you can't have just any "discussion," it has to be something that generates income. We were already told to post quality discussions. That's just common sense. Why should myLot pay for a "discussion" that just asks a question? Or any discussion that does not generate income? From all the discussions vie seen, myLot would go broke pretty fast if they did that.

Probably no, not just because your idea of payment is a little unrealistic (10 cents per discussion started? Yeah right! They would go bankrupt lol), but also because I kind of like the element of surprise. I mean, yeah, it would be cool to be paid more.. But at the same time, there is no such thing as free money (and it already kind of is, if you ask me). I don't know. Also, I like the feeling that people get better "pay" for their responses when they're more thoughtful and longer. It would be unfortunate to get paid the same as a person who wrote a one-word discussion response as a person who wrote a long, thoughtful response. You know what I mean?

That for me is an absolute no. They are not specific about their pay as they want to avoid users that will game their system. Furthermore, MyLot is worth more than money it gives. Even me as a newcomer feels myLot as more than what it gives to me...
