Are we robots? Then why we use same answers when we write to our responders

Hello guys, i got this simple question. Yesterday i answered a discussion. Today i checked for response to my answer and i saw the owner of the discussion answered the same way to everyone, who wrote there. It was kind of annoying, like the same person couldn't be more creative and to write different answers to all of the responders, because we had wrote different stuff - all of us with different opinion. Do you do that? I think it's extremely rude and I never do it. If some of my responders has similar opinion as the opinion on someone who wrote before him and i answered to the first one, i'll answer to the second "Thanks for sharing, friend", if i got something to include, i always continue ... but never do same double posts to my responders.

Hi Suggar, So many such users are there in mylot. They have their own crap ideas of earning money. For them myLot is like a piggy bank, you break the rules get the money and enjoy. They have nothing to do with any kind of discussion, some of them will start around 10-20 meaningless discussions everyday, few of them will behave like bot and answer same thing to everyone but the WORST is the case when the owner of the discussion is so busy that after initiating discussion, S/he will not even reply to a single comment in his/her discussions. Its BS. Because of such people I am losing my interest in myLot. I have read your discussion with owlwing regarding complaining, if you start complaining for these things, it will take 24 hours a day in a week to do so that is not possible. Most of us are adults here, we should have an understanding that there is a boundary and one should not cross it. I've seen people initiating discussions describing mature content, I don't get the point in discussing such kind of pathetic ideas. One or two is okay but every now and then, I don't think this is what myLot community wants. Apart from such users there are a few like you who try to make things better in myLot, others are those who will say I don't care, few of them are like owlwings who have gone through the guidelines and will take a some action. However, I think, it is responsibility of each and everyone here in myLot, only one, two or a few more will not be able to make things better here and at the same time, thirst of $ will make people do all the unwanted things. If myLot administration take things seriously and implement some strict guidelines it will be much much better for us. Let's hope for something good, may be myLot admin will read this discussion and take some actions. BTW good topic to discuss. Happy myLotting !!!

I always like your posts Dollar, they are never boring and senseless and what i like more is that doesn't matter how long is the post, you always say what is your understanding about my questions, you always explain clear, without "word games" (explaining again and again same with different words) and this is why again you will got best response

If the person was simply copying and pasting the same comment to each response, that is a violation of the Guidelines and Admin should be told about it. Posting the same response or comment is definitely a way of trying to cheat MyLot (and therefore its other users) out of money. It is very much the duty of all the users to watch out for and to report any abuse of the system, as it says in the Guidelines.

Hello friend, if i have to be honest, i didn't know that i have to report the person, so i did not, but it was kind of .... we are so different from each other, why same responses for us - WTF

If you feel that someone is abusing the system in any way, then it is absolutely correct to report them. All reports are looked at and the ultimate decision is taken by Admin alone. Remember that the entire staff of MyLot is only about 15 or 20 people, so they very much rely on us, the users, to let them know if we see anything that we think is wrong. There are around 600 discussions posted every day, so it would be impossible for one person (which I believe is all it usually is) to see them all!

Yes i now it's hard for one person to check everything, i'm sure it is. I don't know why i want to run away of responsibility to report someone. I feel more like i'm making something bad for that person and it's not good feeling, you know.

OwlWings is correct. What that person did was a serious violation of the guidelines and he should be flagged and reported to the admin. Mylot is a site with many quality discussions and materials and if people were to see that 'recycled' responses and discussions, the site will be affected.

Hello friend, i didn't wrote a report, because i saw it was that way only with the first few responds like 2-3, after that the owner started to write different answers to the responders ... But anyway, in the past i have seen it once more, just it wasn't so big deal for me then, today it got me thinking ...

I don't think these are robots. It is either they are stup!d (but think they are very wise in messing up the system) or they did not read the regulations because this a clear violation if they just copied and pasted. I hope you reported them. If your discussion hasn't been deleted yet anyway.

I know what you mean and i do find it annoying. If someone can't take the time to reply to his or her responder with an answer that fits the comment, it tells me the discussion starter is not reading the replys at all and is just answering the same way time and time again.They feel as long as they responded with anything, that's good enough for them.in my opinion, it takes away the whole purpose of the discussion and that is the give and take you need to have the discussion continue.

I think the same way friend, if the person doesn't have exact answer for me, why i have to pay attention for his future discussions at all Here we got a lot of discussions, instead of writing to someone, who would answer the same way to everyone who discuss in his discussion, i could have good conversation somewhere else. Thanks for sharing.

Hi there Suggar! For me, I felt that myLot is a place for all. Regardless of the response we give, everything is truly from our mind and opinion. Also, no matter how much we agree or disagree with the reply, we must always be polite and state your point of view and not keep the flame up by saying others or pointing fingers. We are all here (most of us) to help. So let's keep the place more friendly and together we can do wonders! :) Happy mylotting!

You are right and i'm always positive, but you can't take me the right to think and to share some of my thoughts That was a joke, of course. And yes ... i didn't report the person, but i take it more personal .. as a wasting of my own time.
