Have you(especially new users)read through the guidelines before being members?

Not only here but every where in my life, I like to exactly know what I am supposed to be like, mexshyl! I love to know my rights, limits and duties as well as dos and don'ts. So I read all mylot guidelines thoroughly at the time of joining some 2 and a half month ago. If I don't like terms, I don't join at all and it has happened at some sites as well as on the time of inscription in some programs in real life. I agree with you that If someone knows well about guidelines there will be less trouble for people. I have seen people complaining about post deletions, being paid less etc. I think I have earned more than many people who have as much as 2 times more posts than mine just because I try to stick to mylot guidelines about participation in a discussion. My average per post income is more than 5 cents, I have more than 100 best responses and I have great friends, however little in number they are. All that is, probably because I know dos and don'ts and try to follow them. I wish best of luck to all and specially the new users, happy posting:-)

I'm still rather new to this site and have been stumbling around here for a few weeks. I couldn't remember if I had read the guidelines or not, I may have skimmed them. It's hard to say. After reading your post I did. I do read all terms and conditions, I want to be careful of what I'm getting into. I access through work and will be leaving soon, so tomorrow I will visit the FAQ's. Thank you, I wish I had done this sooner. Thankfully I haven't done very much posting yet.

Actually I have never read the guidelines and I know I should. Maybe i will take some time out soon to go over them as I know they will come in handy. Thanks mexshyl.

Hello mexshyl, when I first joined mylot, the first thing I did was to read the FAQs, Term and Policy and then the guidelines. So I more or less know about the guidelines. I agree with you that the guidelines help mylotters from violating guidelines and also give answer to some common questions like star rating and earnings.

When I was a new member, I didn't read the guidelines at all. Later when I had some questions, then I read it. So most people are very lazy. When they meet some problems, then they will seek for help.

Not really but in a while of staying here in mylot i learn a lot and i read their guidelines.

when i signed up for myLot 10 months ago, i first went through the guidelines and FAQs before signing in here. i think in every group we try to be a member of, we should be responsible enough to read and understand the guidelines first. it's what we call proper ettiquette as well. and even if i have read the guidelines before, i still read them from time to time to refresh myself and make sure i am not breaking any rule. if still there are things i am puzzled about, i send private messages to the myLot moderators and hear answers straight from them. i hope others will do this, too. so, myLot is a friendlier place for all of us. nice discussion mexshyl... anne

I think that I belong to the majority who never reads through any guidelines or terms of use/service. I always agree on the terms without bothering to read them. As for mylot, I only read the guidelines on how to register when I joined the site 4 months ago. I became aware of some rules on mylot by reading some discussions. Maybe I should have a look at them.

I read the guidelines over when i first started to understand what things were all about and what was expected of me as a member of the mylot community. Everynow and then when i post discussions and i am not sure if it fits the guidelines i will go over them just to make sure and you are right they are very useful.

Hi,mexshyl! Yes,I think the guidelines are useful for new users.If every newbies can read carefully these guidlines,there won't be so many questions about Mylot.com. For me,I read the guidlines as soon as I joined in Mylot.com.I didn't want to ask stupid questions here.LoL

I did read through the guidelines that is why I don't answer or ask certain questions.

No I did not read the guidelines before becoming a member, but will do now.

i have just joined... and i hv'nt read that... thanks for your suggestion...I will check.

I have never read them, and I don't usually read them at any site I have joined. I usually find what I am looking for by reading other peoples questions for help. Causes if someone asks a question, chances are that lots of people have that same question.. What gets me the most is that I keep going to 'New user Discussions' and find that several discussions are about how no one knows how to earn money. If they would just read and see that there are already topics on that, then they wouldnt need to start more and more discussions on the same thing.

Greetings mexshyl, a very wonderful thought you this to all mylot members!;) I've been here for a long time, and I always take my time to read and visit their guidelines. It helps me understand more on how their system works, as to why I get some extra additions on my earnings, posts/discussions deleted, how to help and contribute to the whole community and of course, to be more familiar with what they expect to us mylot members. By this, I get avoid discussions on which it has the possibilty to get deleted and keep my earnings/reputation on the right track!;) Thank you for sharing this, let's all hope that members (old and new) get to see this and be aware of mylot's guidelines..

i read the Rules and FAQ's for every site i first sign up to. that way i have a basic knowledge of how things work, dont bother the older members with stupid questions that are almost ALWAYS answered by the Rules and FAQ's pages. that and i dont get myself into trouble either lol!

Yes, I did carefully read them before joining and still look at them every so often to refresh my memory.

Hello,mexshyl,if you mean the terms of agreement when i joined mylot at the beginning,i can tell you i had not read anything,i just put a tick in the box provided and logged on to mylot straight away. If you mean the discussion guideline,I had read it before i started posting my first discussion,but i think there are still some points which are quite unclear in the guidelines.

It's been a long time since I joined this site. As a new member, I've never read the guidelines of MyLot because of too much excitement. I was not aware of the rules to follow until I violated some of them. I've been wondering why my earnings and ratings went down the next day. I posted a discussion about it until some members advise me to read the guidelines. After reading it, I fully understand what happened to me. I hope everybody would read it thoroughly. Have a nice day!

Before I join in any site like these I usually read their guidline and some useful hint on the program but I just not take it seriously at least I have some knowledge before become a member. And I just read it again whenever I encountered some problems. Like what happen to us I think it was two to three weeks ago when all of our stars rates have fallen down. I visit again the guideline and read it again coz maybe all of us can't ever memorise that all. So if ever I have some question I just read them and I don't have to ask someone or post it.
