Do you add people to your friends list who don't respond to your discussion?

Hekter & Rodrico I'm on the left - Me and my friend on the right.

I have a problem with this. How do you expect me to patronize your discussions if you have never responded to any of my discussions?I click the link to discussions my friends started first. Then if I have time I search else where. One person is 9 & never has posted or at least none show up. I refused their request & they asked again. If you are collecting names to send requests to join your get rich program don't ask. You are wasting my time & yours. How does everyone feel? Do you add people who don't respond to your discussions?

friends - friendship
build up a good friends list is helpfull,ive got a lot of friend and some i do answer and some i didnt,it just depends on the topic of the discussion,before i accept a new friend i always look at their profil and see what their topics are. so you like it here then glad you do remember try and build up referrals aswell as you get paid for them aswell

Yes I like it. You have earned about 90 cents & probably more than a $1 when yesterday's earnings kick in from me. Speaking of referrals. I looked over to see how much I have earned & there is a referral. =) A perfect example for everyone. If you had done nothing but referred me you would have got $1 in 4 days. Referrals is the key. I do have a question. When you reply or post a comment to a discussion how do you post a photo like the one below your avatar in this one. I know how to put it into the discussion but not the comments. I looked & can't find it.

No having fun and enjoying it here and make friends and learning new things is the key here. OMG people!

As well as reading the post you are replying too pigly wigly. I asked a question "how to post a photo with your comment" & your comment is right below it with a photo but you just say making friends is the key. Content is the key. I have made more on here in 4 days than others in have in weeks & they try hard. Goes to show that some people only do it for the money.

I only add friends by interests! If someone responds to my posts or I find myself responding to thier discussions alot... I ask them to be my friend. I respond far more than I start discussions here.. so I like my friends to be interesting to me-- I go there also when I start out the day- To my friends discussions! This is where I answer most of my discussions. so yes I would accept them if I found their discussions interesting to me and they didn't respond to mine.

I usually donĀ“t, however i check out the profile and if they have alot of interesting discussions going on then I might add them anyways - but i prefer if they have responded to mine as well!

Thank you for your reply. If friends would stick together and answer other friends' posts first then as a whole we would make more.

I usually only respond to a friend request after checking out there posts. Association is something most people do not take into account these days. I really only post topics I find of interest to me. If someone responds I reply back. After this post I will be checking you other posts and hope you will check mine. Perhaps we will find a mutually interesting topic to chat about.

I don't.. I won't.. I will not accept people who I have no established a connection with.. even If I have commented on someones discussion randomly then they try to add me, I still decline it until I get to know the person or I like what they post in their discussions.

I agree. I'm tired of all these 'friends' adding me up on social networking sites (like myspace of friendster) when I don't even know who they are. I need more than just an initial visit to think of you as an acquaintance.

I am not into people collecting friends. If my friends list gets too big I will not be able to post on their discussions because of the quantity. It is hard enough keeping up with my posts.

Thank you very much. It is an extension of gratitude that they replied to the post. Also it gives me the opportunity to soak MyLot for another .ooo2 cents LOL. I have been applying techniques that I have thought of to see how they do. I made almost 3 times as much yesterday as I did a day I was posting off and on all day. The good thing is that it took me 1/2 the time. I have to wait to see if it works over a couple of days to really be able to tell. Content is the key.

Good point but there are some who have other intentions than to be your friend. If someone came out and said "I am trying to see if I can get everyone on MyLot to be on my friends list. I would approve them. However if they are not active they will always be denied. Think about it. They logged into MyLot and asked me to be on their friends but they have NEVER replied to ANY discussion (yours or anyones) and NEVER started a discussion but they have been on my lot for 3 months and have 706 friends. There is something up with that.

I would accept them all if there was no deception involved. I don't want to check my messages for spam from people who have never responded to my discussion. It is a waste of my time and theirs. Like I am going to claim the Lottery that my email address won. I am not going to accept a check & send someone the $3,000 extra back to the seller. Personally someone who can make it to mylot is probably not naive enough to fall for that. I don't want trash in my messages so I have to limit them. I also want to remain true to my friends and patronize their discussions.

Eversince i join here in mylot. I never request anyone to be my friend. Though i have a lot of friends in my friendslist, they are the one who send me request. And all people who wants me to be one of their friend, i approved their request then.

I went to your profile and some certificate verification popped up. Do you have some type of pop up on your profile? I do not get any requests allow certification from the other profiles. Do you have something that redirects the viewer?

I try not to offend anyone. If you will read what I responded to apsara60's reply you will see. It can sometimes be detrimental not adding someone. They might want to join your downline that you vaguely mentioned in another post without a referral link.

Will you send them unwanted messages about making money outside of MyLot? That is the main reason why I do not approve everyone. It is better to start a discussion. Then you at least get paid something for you effort.

Mood does play a key role. If they have colors on their profile that are not pleasant I might not approve them. Colors have a lot to do with mood. Blue= mellow Green= information I don't remember the others.

hell no. to answer your questions, i normally add people that respond properly showing that they know what i'm talking about and are trying to help. for those who keep asking for response, i'll just ignore them. don't bother answering them. if possible block them.

LOL. THat is the best answer so far LOL. The reason why I don't let just anyone because people I don't know ask & then send me poorly written spam messages about making money. I could have spent that time adding a reply to their post where it would benefit you both. See what I mean? It is counter productive.

When I first joined I accepted pretty much everyone who requested my friendship. Later I became more selective. Now I check their profile to see whether they have responded to any of my discussions or if I have responded to any of theirs. If not, do we at least have some common interest. I want to know the reason they want to be my friend.

Don't worry I am going to go into my friends list and answer all their questions, and if they do not reply to mine then I will take them off my friends list...I understand some of them not having to rely on every discussion,but if they make a regular habit of it then they will go off my list...Some times I don.t answer every one if i know nothing about it but lately i have just been replying to them and just telling them...If i were you then I would do what I feel is best...I reallt think all your friends should have some input on all of your discussions...

Exactly. There should be some loyalty. But some you just can't reply to. An example: I don't know anything about the hockey draft, the world cup or the cricket championships. But some of my friends only talk sports. When they have non sports discussions I participate. I also try to reply to every post in my discussions. It is a good way to make extra.

Hi, I reply to every response I get on my discussions. However I do not approve all of them. What I think I am going to do now is build my relationship with my friends & we all can be a community that can count on each other for responses. I honestly look through my friends discussions before I post outside. Some of the people who request friends with me just want to send me offers to their money making schemes which I do not want. Post money making schemes in a discussion. You will get more people who are interested and not ruin friendships.
