How Can We Keep myLot Links We Post on Facebook from Out of the Spam-Bin?

Especially now that Facebook provides 'Facebook-Questions,' a place where Facebookers can ask-&-answer questions?
Why would friends leave Facebook to-read answers and/or -ask questions, when they COULD do the same things without leaving Facebook now?
(and don't say 'money,' coz the money's not worth the time it takes unless we're doing this for fun ... but it's just as fun--AND more convenient--to do it over at Facebook!)
So--while I DO have at-least one commitment/friend-that's-worth-it to keep me coming here at least until I hit the next payout--I think I need a bigger reason to stay here much longer than that!
(And I'm sure that reason will ALSO be a good reason for my friends to allow me to keep on linking-back here! Please, Help!)

Well, there's not an actual 'spam bin'; but you know sometimes people see a link posted on their news feed and think "Oh. Another one o` those,' and scroll right past.
More of a mental spam bin, where all the banners at the tops of webpages go in one's mind.

I am going to start all my discussions today with:
Are you kidding. 
, no one in facebook wants to have actual discussions. Members of facebook are simply texters. They only want to tell you what they had for lunch and that it is. Come on no one in facebook actually carries a "discussion", they want to be able to post: Had a Carmel Macchioto, yum. Then 20 - 30 people want to respond, yum, and bring me some.
So doing that here would not be allowed. Unless you can personally convince people directly and remind them to follow rules it will not work. Most people like the convenience of posting things without restrictions.
Now if you want to discuss, help, assist, advise and learn then myLot is your place. Don't get me wrong I have over 350 direct members and family in my facebook and can't remember in years when we actually carried a discussion. I have spent way more time here asking, helping, learning and having a good time.
Reason why I do come here as it is one giant play-yard, where as people actually want to play, listen, learn and help.
In my opinion, people only care abut popularity. A numbers game. I have well over 150 pending friend requests pending over there for the last six months. Why? A) Don't know who they are, and what could we possibly share, as they could have sent a message with their request. b) They were suggested by other people, who have high numbers in their lists. c) It is not a popularity contest for me to be on Facebook, as many find it this way.
This should be a combination to all your questions.

Awesome (would add the 'cheering'-emo here, but my rank is only 101 and you need a rank of 200 to emo)

I'm not talking about just Facebook, tho. I'm talking about a whole program ON Facebook!

That is what I believed I was conveying. People on Facebook are way too in a hurry to gain popularity so therefore they do not waste any valuable time discussing at all.
They primarily want to make on the profile page even if it means responding to farts.
