I am bothered today by....

This can be rather annoying, and sadly also something that we have seen many times in the past. I assume that the people who issue a myriad of brief and abstract questions as discussions are under the misapprehension that this is an easy way to make money here. They seem to think that if they post a quick discussion and run away then lots of members will respond and boost their activity. We both know that the only way to make progress is to create and maintain interesting discussions and also make worthwhile responses. This is also the only way to enjoy your time at Mylot, rather than allow it to become a chore. Members trying this futile approach tend to either learn the hard way and start to conform, or simply give up and leave.

I don't enjoy mylot like i use to. One thing some folks will make a dozen discussions trying to make more money i guess & if they don't know by now they are not going to get rich on mylot no matter how many siully discussions they write.YES, i said silly. It use to be a place where i enjoyed, enjoyed the duscussions etc. It is not that way anymore.Some of the stuff people write is just ridiculous & a waste of my time & thier time to. I delete more than i answer anymore.

If you received the notifiers from this user then they were on your friend list. Did youinform them that just asking a question is not substance for a discussion? Too many recently seem unaware of the true defintion of "discussion" sadly

oh gosh I have not looked in my email today yes as I was working on my own discussion and commenting back. I have seen this same person and he or she does not ever comment back. so yeah I also delete them having been taken once by the person. somehow a lot of mylotters do not even intend to comment back.that really infuriates me. I bust my carpal tunnel right hand to keep up my discussions at 85 and these young people cannot even comment back on the responses they get. soon they will not be getting any then will whine."nobody is responding to me" well g ee its not a whole lot of fun responding to someone who is not going to keep up the discussion at all.I still think someone is telling gullible newcomers that oh yah just make a lot of mylot discussions and you will get rich cause you get paid for all those responses. IT IS NOT TRUE FOLKS YOU DO NOT GET PAID FOR THE RESPONSES YOU GET TO YOUR DISCUSSIONS. MAKE 50 AND YOU STILL WILL NOT MAKE A LOT IF YOU DO NOT COMMENT BACK.

hi celtic, I totally agree with you,,I actually see post after post from a couple of mylotters and I who just dosen't interest me so I automatically delete them...but that peticular mylotter post like they are posting from a list and just mention a word or a question and thats the post... it bothers me also but I just do what I want to do "delete"...

Just asking a question is not a discussion and is violation of the guidelines of mylotting. It is as per my knowledge that I have acquired. The admin will delete those discussion for sure.

Well there are a lot of people here who do tend to start a lot of discussions in a day and some never take time to respond back. I just tend to pass up a lot of these as well, and really think they need to be one two way street in here more.

There are several styles of discussions that bother me. I dislike lectures and sermons, actually, oh, and sports reports. I just answer what I can and what seems profitable to me. If I think they will be deleted, I do not answer them. I sometimes have a hard time finding enough things that engage me and make me want to respond.

Apparently, many are misled by the fact that posting numerous discussions will help them earn more money. On a personal note, referrers are the people to blame, and here's why: 1. Referrers try to make more money by mass-inviting people stating that if they join, they earn per post! 2. Many blog posts have their MyLot banners on, trying to engage people to keep posting discussions, and they'll earn instant money. I am not saying that this is what most people do, but the majority does - based on my observations. Earlier, I just read a blog post that talks about how she earned money on MyLot, and it was even stated in the blog post that they'll earn $0.50 per post! Now, who wouldn't be engaged to sign up and post as many discussions as they could? I think that this community would be better if people referring other members to this site would explain that this is a great place to discuss thoughts, opinions and a unique way to interact with others, and that they'll get paid for creating an engaging and a continuous flow of discussion, and that these referrers should clearly state that the quantity of posts wouldn't make them rich overnight. Honestly, I liked this community before than today. I've found a lot of people who are trying to spam the hell out of this site, and in the end, they'll complain about not earning LOL

you are right. all this bugs me also. usually i delete the person from friends. my biggest problem lately with a friend i have is making so many discussions a day about their every move and thought. for pete sakes, how about they could just add to what they already started? i mean if you went shopping and bought so and so for dinner. dont make a discussion after about how it turned out put that on a reply to your friends in the first discussion so your friends know you are reading them at least and you care. so yes celtic it bothers me also.

I have answered a ton of discussions that have been deleted. I did know, sometimes, that there was a risk, but I did it because I wanted to be active and, like you said, maybe they would have some input on something I started too sometimes. The worst is when they have a great topic and then leaves it without discussing! I have went back to topics that I was really intrigued by to see how they responded to my response...nothing.

Hi Celtic, I don't start discussions unless I can come up with a topic that is different and original. I appreciate it when people take the time to think about and respond to discussions that I have started. Last but not least, I always try my best to comment on every response that I receive in every discussion that I start. I hope you are doing well. Have a nice evening!

dont let anyone bother its just a matter of proper decision,speak to him first and if he annoys just ignore him that is all no matter what

yes. you said the right one. last week i too met a mylotter. he was simply asking which is your favorite flower? favorite music? favorite colour/? etc. simple questions. so i too responded like the same way. 2 days later,mylot deleted his question and my answer too as well as a small amount as a fine

These type of posts irritate me too. You have to read the mylot rules before you start posting and it clearly says nothing that is like a question or poll or it will be deleted. I myself do not respond to these type of discussions because it's not only a waste of your time its theirs too because it'll just be deleted. I wish there were more interesting discussions to respond too, there hasn't been much lately.
