i'm thinking about taking a break from mylot...here's why...

I feel the same way..I don't know what it takes to get things going the right way anymore..I do my best to ignore those that don't want to play by the rules..I don't want you to go because I like replying to your posts..Somedays I do think about taking a break, but then I realize my email box will be overflowing with responses and new discussions for me to do. I do look forward to being here on Mylot..I like the conversations and different views about things..venting is a good thing.

Then leave. I hate these discussions. If you want to leave, leave. We're not going to throw you a pity party and beg you to stay. If you leave, then that's less people to split the money up between.

:) My two cents... Realizing that it's against myLot policy, they shouldn't do it. At the very least they shouldn't cry about it when their account gets deleted. My understanding is you aren't supposed to promote your business through MySpace either, but people do it all the time. I think as long as they don't go around posting about it non-stop and private messaging people they don't know about it, it's not a huge deal. That being said, I can totally understand your frustration when people are obviously posting for no other reason than to give their referral link. I don't mind the referral links if you're responding legitimately to a discussion. For example: If somebody asks where to buy such-and-such and somebody else posts their referral link to such-and-such.com, that I don't mind. But when somebody starts a discussion that is obviously for no other reason than to peddle there business, that's another story. Or posts a referral link to a discussion that it is not even related to. I personally am an affiliate for several different sites. I appreciate it when somebody takes the time to purchase though my link. In the same respect, I like being able to purchase though somebody else's link when I can. And if somebody points me to a good deal or site, I don't mind them getting compensation for it. Blessings, Shannon

I've been a little put off lately too. I still don't understand how some topics make "top discussions" and others don't. I don't think mine ever have. Yesterday there was someone asking for money ( a violation of rules) that was on the top discussions. It got deleted finally but was on there for a long time. I thought at one time it was the discussions with most response but it isn't that. I just don't get it.

Well I can say, I have had everything I ever reported deleted by mylot. I report the spam, the commercials, the flames and etc. Now it may take them a full 7 days to do it, but it gets done. I do wish it would be faster. One thing you can do is set up a network of friends that will report along with you, this does help speed up the process. I have several and we message one another over HUGE cheaters. We just came across one that was pasting the same response to tons of posts, I am talking at least 100. They were all gone by day 2. As for the money, yes seeing a huge difference between now and a couple of months ago, bites to say the least. However I just keep focused on posting with friends. When I get down to it, Mylot doesn't have to pay us at all, so even if it's a penny, it's something. Honestly it just gives me more reason to keep reporting the cheaters. I think once a system comes that will get rid of these jerks, we will see a huge difference.

just ignore the link. thats what i do. you are absolutely right, we are here to learn something, stick to that, besides i love answering your discussion. if you go, it means less interesting topics at mylot.

I see your frustrations and i raise you mine! LOL! Sorry just being silly. I agree with you, i'm losing interest and getting frustrated by the lack of control mylot is missing! I'm not here for the money, i need advice, i can give advice, i can make people, i enjoy the humor of others, i enjoy learning about other countries etc. As long as there are members like you that feel like me, i will keep coming back. I enjoy Mylot and i hope it gets cleaned up, many good members are gone now and these abusers could be one reason! Take care Wisconsin.

Hello, Wisconsin. Hey, don't feel bad because of that. Don't think about taking a break, neither. Be happy with that! Do you know why? When everyone has over 10.000 posts, you'll be able to say that YOU got your posts fairly! You earned your money with your own hard work! And you'll see all those people getting their accounts deleted because they broke the rules. And you might even want to report them in their other websites, for posting referral links. This way, you'd end up with this all. Don't worry, you're not losing anything. Just keep posting happily, there is no reason to stop. Let's be happy and let's earn!
