You Earn Reward For Reporting Post Violated myLot Guidelines

Hi... It is not a bad idea, in a mechanical way... But we are not mechanical, or machines... We're humans.. Imagine, if it becomes another way to earn money on myLot, then people will swarm here, hunting for bad posts, violating posts etc.. There might even be the 'post' wars.. Or rather 'violation' wars... In a good way, it'll make this site clear and the admin will have less work to do... I'm sure the Admin, has an efficient method of controlling it, even now.. Whenever some spammer is doing business here, the site admin clears them as soon as possible.. My friend, the idea that you've come up with, is not too bad... It just sounds expensive, at this stage...

No way will I ever want to have such bonus. People will abuse the report button that's for sure. I am fine with our earnings and I am happy with my earnings as well. I always report topic and mylotters who violated rules without the rewards- I can still continue doing it.

Yeah am in favor brad... and I guess everyone should read the guidelines from time to time! including me of course, sometimes I feel guilty because I always suggest newbies to read the guidelines, of course I read the guidelines but somehow I forget and violate some...

no we don't as member will keep on report discussions that aren't meant to be reported!

It is impossible to be implemented in current system, since Alex *said* that the report went anonymously, he can't know the person who reports for violation. Encouraging people to report any violation by giving a reward might be a good idea. But it will brings more troubles than its benefits. False reporting is one of huge trouble if myLot start to implement this. It will brings lots of trouble for Alex, whom I see is still working alone up to now.

No, I don't support this idea. Because there are many users around who are too eager to make money, without actually putting in any effort. Such users may report any discussion or response as a violation is haste, just to make quick money. This may affect adversely an user who is working hard here in posting responses and helping others, only to see his/her response being reported and removed. It will affect both earnings and reputation of such an affected user. Also I don't like the idea of being rewarded for being the "first members" to report something. There maybe several users who know the guidelines religiously but couldn't report something just because they weren't online. It will be unjust to the old timers. And this sounds to me like a sort of chance game and/or wagering. Also what number should determine the "first members"? It will only create confusion instead of making matters simple. Good day!

oh no, i think this kind of set up won't help with the clean up of the community. it might only actually add some confusion and all the more issues because other people might just abuse the reporting of discussions or threads with violation just so they can earn from it. Imagine how much more work and disputes the mylot admin would have received each day. That is going to be another set of bulk complaints to be handled by mylot admin. he he

I think it is good not to violate the guidelines. I am not sure about it. I will think about it and I think if we do not violate rules, we will be earned good. I think it is good to follow the rules.

I am not. There is way too much trolling on MyLot as it is, and right now the only incentive these trolls get is watching your star ranking fall. If there were an actual monetary incentive on this website, the trolling would be ceaseless. I think that adding that kind of incentive would be a detriment to the fun that people have on this website, and actually cause more people to stop coming here, rather than creating an environment that welcomes people in. I can understand your thought in trying to make things better, but I don't think that in practice it would actually work.

hi julyteen sorry to burst your bubble but thre problem is not everyone would be honest like yourself as money kills their instincts for honesty and my lot would have to go through thousands of reports to weed out those who just report anything in hopes of getting money. it just would not work july .good sounding idea but too many would not play fair.

That is why i prefer commenting on others discussion rather than creating it. Because of this reason, some people do steal ideas in either intentionally or unintentionally.. you really can't tell.

Well, I guess it will turn out adversely affecting myLot. Many will try to pull out reports in order to earn. That means myLot will have a volume of reports to be screened while most will end up as inappropriate reports. It will also take out the fun in myLot. Imagine myLotters just spending time looking for negativity in each and every post made in here. Not good!

I think this is a great idea. We should earn from our good deeds. Mylot management may want to look at this so users will be more hungry to report these violators. Just saying, happy mylotting!

Guideline violation reporting is admin's bussiness. They are free from biasness. They are to think and discover which element of a post is within the violation of mylot guidelines and to be deleted. Stay fine

Hello July. I think there might be a problem with this, as it will lead to a great increase in reports, and some abuse might occur as well, where trolls report legit discussions. Also I don't know exactly how the report function works, but if each report has to be done individually and not as a reports per topic this will be a huge problem for the limited staff currently employed by mylot - think how many people would be needed to analyse over 10.000 reports individually per day.

i think if this happens, mylot will lose its quality. you will start seeing many members 'purposely' start violated discussions, while their other 'friends' will report it, and then vice versa. in this way, all of them may earn fast money together. so in the end mylot will become a place full of spams and start to lose loyal members... it will be a sad ending... oops, i just got carried away!

well that is a great move and really hope it turns out to be fun and i always play by the rules

julyteen: For your suggestion : It will motivate members to report violation immedaitely. 2) it will improve earnings of members, 3) it will caution members not to violate. Against your suggestion: Members may report even small thing without knowing that that is not a violation, 2) enmity will increase among members, 3) genuine and not genuine reporting will take place.

I don't think this would be good idea. it's good that each of us try to give more contribution for mylot by reporting the violation, but the worries appear when some people like to earn more cents by reporting discussion and he/she even didn't understand if discussion is really against the guidelines or not. let mylot's admin do their job

I believe it is best to leave everything as it is at the moment. If such change is to be made to Mylot, many members would quit this website and you definitely can expect fewer discussions and comments. There may also be members that keep looking for discussions with the slightest similarities with other discussions and report it just for the sake of getting the few pennies. Is it right to do so? I don't think so. A little similarity in discussions are very common. Because the things that we have around us is only that number. Simply put, the friendly environment of Mylot would be put at stake. Please avoid ruining the whole website for the sake of few pennies.
