Yes, every time you run your mouth by making a discussion, a response, or a comment, it adds one to the total.
You're welcome. 36 responses

It used to be that it was pretty hard to understand how active someone was...there used to be a maximum of two points awarded per discussion you were in regardless of how many times you made a comment in it.

Don't you just love it when a question post gives you an opportunity to make an answer post and run your mouth?

Actually, if they get interacted with before they get removed, they still pay

Back when the site had referrals, I designed a referral banner that said "Love running your mouth? They pay you for that at myLot"

Not really...a 'like' can be considered an interaction, but it doesn't count

since mylot has always been a discussion site, then i understand if they only count our "words," not likes and followers

So, according to the numbers, you've run your mouth here 30,000 times more than I have.

Is there a number that says how many interactions we have? Because, as I understand, those are not interactions.

@JolietJake I know. So we don´t have any way of knowing how to interact.

Interactions are what you get, not what you do. You receive interaction from other people, what YOU do is an action.
There is no way to know how many interactions I have received.

@marguicha We do NOT 'interact'. An interaction is not something you do.
This comment is, for me, an action. You RECEIVE it as an interaction. Anytime someone talks TO you, that is an interaction for you, and you get paid for that.

It used to be a lot more complicated in the old (pre-May 2013) version...no matter how much you were active in a discussion, you could only get two 'points' for each discussion you were involved in.
