Friends?

I often wonder how they decide who to ask for friends. if they have only one post, who told them it's important to have friends? I didn't figure that out until probably my second week. And do they just sit there for hours and request a friend randomly?

I think some people just want to make a lot of friends. I get a lot of requests from people who have very few discussions and have never responded to any of mine. Maybe they are new and under the impression that the more friends you have the more you will earn or they plan to approach you later with a referral request. Who knows. I usually leave these requests in pending and check out their posts and responses after a few weeks. Sometimes they are already inactive.

Very very strange. It makes you think what they are up to. Whats the deal with them. That would be a reject straight away.

How long has this person joined in myLot? There are number things that I can think of. If this person is a newbie here, he may want to have more friends first before participating on discussions. However, if this person has joined myLot for a quite some time. Hmmmm....this is rather weird. Perhaps, his purpose to come here is not money. Without participating, he won't get earnings at all. I think he may want to sell something here. OR he only participates on myLot because his friends invited him. He is actually not interested in myLot but he can't refuse his friend's requests. You know what I mean.....

I have received requests like that, I usually turn people down like that, my guess is that they will just send me some spam or something as personal mail. I received a request from someone about 2 weeks ago, had 300 friends, had answered 8 questions, posted no questions in I think it was 6 months they had been members. I don't think so!

Its ok to me redyellowblackdog maybe he just want to have lots of friends. I am shy to send a friends request sometime that i just wait for someone to do that and its wrong. I must do that for myself too. I answer lots of discussions that i am interested to answer from anybody. There are discussions from my friends but not all i like so i look to new discussions and find something interesting.

I have received some requests from people who haven't responded to discussions nor started their own. I know that we all started out from scratch when we first signed on to MyLot, but how about actually responding to some articles before you request to be a friend.

First I would wonder how new they were to mylots. It took me awhile to start accumulating friends. I learned to post and discuss first. Sounds weird to say the least. But many times I put in friend requests because I was impressed by an answer they made to a post that I was reading. Then, I'd go to their profile and check them out and then put in a request.

Everyone has to start somewhere though. Maybe this person just started collecting friends before they became active. I know I did this when I first joined. I aqquired 55 friends before I started posting and or responding. Someone has to accept newbies. Just my thoughts HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

They could be just after friends? But I suspect it has more to do with sending friends spam, I mean I've had this happen to myself. I once used to be a very higher poster within a day and that got a lot of attention from people who thought they could earn from me. (sending other paid sites like mylot) yet ones with no proof.. Personally I only accept members who have over 500 posts or if their post count as increased by a fair amount. (otherwise I kindly reject them) Kudos, ~Joey

Hi Friend : May be he felt lazy or simply too busy to respond to the discussion. But I guess his discussion he started that he started must be interesting to garner that many request to become his/her friend. Yours Truly, Tony Chai a disabled trader http://options4u.blogspot.com

A guy who gets a huge response to his discussions, RonReyes is his username, I think, posted a discussion last week telling his secret to having such popular discussions. One of the first tips was to accumulate as many friends as possible. He suggested that the very ambitious might want to send a request to every person in each of their interests. Perhaps this person saw the discussion and is working diligently to build his list. Who knows, but it is definitely a red flag!

We discuss subject not persons, as per guidelines,and you have ultimate choice of selecting friends.

I don't think I have any friends. I guess I am pretty picky when it comes to that. I have a myspace and only have about 40 friends. They are all peope I really know. I personally think you should get to know the perrson a little first not just pick random people as friends just to say you have friends. That is completely my opinion though.

I know that is strange and something doesnt add up. When I get them I dont accept them as friends. I need to see that they have started some discussions so I could see if I have anything in common with them.

yes i agree...i have about 18 pending requests that i havent answered because i dont know who they are lol and i havent answered their discussions or they havent answered mine......

I get requests all the time from people who have never replied to my discussions or I theirs. I deny their request.

I'd say they were a fast learner with mylot. There've been many discussions about how increasing your friends increases your earnings. I guess they wanted to start off as quick as possible.

Oh I found this interesting I never really thought about why people want to be on your friends list but spam is a reason I never considered. When I first got on here I had read a posting that said get as many friends as you can and I went and added everybody and anybody I now have a lot of people who havent excepted my invite I wonder if this is one of those reasons though now Im over 100 discussions you would think they might add me soon. lol

i think he is trying 2 make money,,,,n thatz all,,,,,u should not accept his frends request
