What would you like to know about myLot?

Thank you crash for being here, mylot does seem to make good value of their members here!;) I would like to ask about the accuracy of our stars and reputations here, since there are members who thinks that the system was broken. Would just like to know more about it, any explanation/clarification would be of good help.. Thanks, good day to you!;)

Hi Crash! I'll be brave and start of with a possibly controversial question. When there is a dispute between two mylot members and someone is accused of "flaming", (not that I've ever been accused of that ;-)) how does mylot determine who is the person that is truly in the wrong? Great idea on the Q & A session btw. I hope it is a great success! Take care.

How much does mylot pay per response and per posting?

I would like to know how is it that someone that doesn't like you can go around and rate all your discussions and responses with negatives and not be questioned by mylot for doing this. I had a situation where I think I may have got someone mad at me, didn't like my response, and then the next day my star rating went down, I don't remember the exact number, about 10 points or more. Does mylot not have anything in their system to track who makes the negative ratings? Also why would I have not been given the opportunity to defend myself when there were that many negatives put against me in one 24 hour period? Is there nothing to alert mylot when one person is going around rating a negative against one other person continously?

I am trying to read a blog and it says I need to change content to mature audience to read it how do I do that I cannot figure it out

Hi Crash! I would like to understand a little more on myLot's revenue model. As in how does myLot make money? Or if it's more about traffic at this moment, how does myLot intend to generate revenue in the future? Thanks in advance!

I would like to know, as i have seen many friends discussions deleted where there was nothing against the mylot rules in the discussion (as far aas we know), if when a discussion gets reported, what is the process done to determine weather the discussion gets deleted or stays ? And Also, i think a question on EVERYONEs mind that has been here long enough to know about the ratings, is a process to determine weather someone is unfairly rating you so that your star and ratings go down unjustly?! Thanks for any answers you can provide!

I would like to know why our discussion gets deleted just because someone else spams it or gives a bad rating or reports it when it is not in violaton? Thanks.

Nice to meet you, Crash. Awhile ago I invited my partner to join myLot. She never received the invitation. So, I tried again. Still did not receive the invite. We share the same internet provider account, but have different email and user id's. Can you tell me why the invitation was not sent and she was not able to join myLot using my referral? PEACE

Hi Crash... Thank you for taking this time to answer our questions... Well, my main question (with two follow up)... Who are the people behind the Mylot team?... Where are you based?... and Will you be hiring people from a different country in the near future?... I hope you can answer these questions... thank you very much...

Good day Crash! Here's question that has been in my mind for a long time. How do we earn while we continue to post or upload images here in myLot? I mean, earning by that means is quite good but, I'm really wondering how? The Process if its alright to know.. How does everyone benefit from it? - If that's a follow up question, please ignore it ^_^ sorry.. Thanks!

hello crash, this is agood question..but i dont know if you like my answer,,i love evrything about mylot,discussion and so on but i would really like to have here in mylot if i can delete my discussion if its not good,and also i would like here on my lot a to ask help browser if its possible..thank you..and more power

I would like to know who the mylot moderators are that are able to delete discussions and suspend/ban members? I don't think it's something that should be hidden, when you need help, you would at least know who to hunt down. thank you in advanced :)

grins, i did see you just now but had no idea that you were an 'officer'. hehe anyway for me, i would just like to clarify this particular thing. i have seen it in other posts but i could not reach to a confirmed answer. i respond to a discussion and the starter responds back to me. there's something to reply about so i respond back again. i notice that my score or number of posts remain the same the second time i comment to that post. can i assume that the number of posts does not increase when we respond back to others' replies thus meaning that we do not earn for those?? thanks lots for your help and hope you're not confused. i'll just be checking on others' questions here to learn more too. enjoy answering all the questions. grins this is a great idea. fortunate for me that i'm online right now.

Hi Crash. First let me say I love your avatar. I am a collector and lover of all things swine related. My question about myLot relates to the usage of certain words and parts of discussions that get deleted because they are considered too mature or distasteful. In my humble opinion, the system is indiscriminately eliminating perfectly tasteful and acceptable discussion based solely on the appearance of words that sometimes, but not always, are considered by some to be offensive. My solution is, if you don't like the content of medical or political discussions or any other discussions for that matter, simply stay away from them. Apparently myLot doesn't think it's users are capable of making that choice, and THAT offends my sensibilities as a writer who abhors censorship. For a while, I don't know if it's still true of not, we couldn't use the nick name for Richard that rhymes with nick and begins with D. Even if it was legitimately someone's name, the discussion would get deleted. There ought to be a way for that to be differentiated. Recently I had a part of my discussion on mammary gland cancer deleted because someone mentioned cancer in male parts. Come on, doesn't anyone read this stuff or is it just a bot that goes through and deletes discussions and sections solely based on the appearance of certain words. I do notice that some discussions get tagged with "mature content". I think that is a good way to make a distinction. It is unfortunate that there are families out there who let their youngsters indiscriminately surf the web and then the parents blame the media for containing mature matter. It has always been my policy to discuss even when my children were much younger, rather than the delete or censor. I think censorship is a cowardly way out of things. If youngsters encounter "mature" or "questionable" material, whether it be on books, online, movies, radio, or any other media. That of course is just my opinion, but I have two teenage boys who are mature and make good choices in life, so I must be doing something right. I never outrightly forbade them to read, listen to, or view anything, online or on television or in books. They are just naturally turned off by skin magazines and flicks and even off color jokes, and I do take some of the credit for them learning those kinds of choices. MyLot should give credit to people for being able to select what is and is not in their interests for reading and writing. Of course outright vulgar language needs to be limited, but as I stated before, people who are reading on this website appear to be intelligent enough, on the average, to distinguish between a Richard's nick name and a slang name for a body part, as well as distinguishing between distasteful language about human parts and functions and intelligent discussions about medical or biological issues. Maybe myLot needs to have some human "censors" and proofreaders to make the site more fair to everyone. I have to say, after all my raving, that I do think myLot is an awesome and unique site. Thanks for the opportunity to vent and ask questions.

wow thanks for that. can i ask why all of the sudden my earnings at mylot slowed down?

Okay are you ready for an earful? LOL First of all I've been here nearly a whole year and love being here. I've met some terrific people here, have friends and feel a tight bond with many members as I'm sure many others do. Through discussions many of us get to know each other very well...we share parts of our lives with each other, whether to share our joys, triumphs, fears, to ask for fellow MyLotters prayer help. As it should be in a community of friends like this. When we do share pieces of our lives we find out that whatever we may be going through in life, that we're not alone. So many times people might think that they are going through a problem or crises in their lives and think they are alone with this. When a MyLotter opens their heart about some such episode they discover that they aren't alone and that is the wonderful blessing about such a community like MyLot where we can interact with one another and give each other that boost and words of comfort one might need. Here at Mylot we can also share news items we think might interest others, helpful information, and get viewpoints on even the most controversial subjects, that often can "heat" up Okay, I'm very well aware of the guidelines here, and what one can or can't start as a discussion. It's disheartening however that many times just because one(or more) MyLotter doesn't agree with what is being said in a discussion, whether it'd be the topic discussion itself, by the poster, or by some comment response left by another MyLotter. That's when "strange" things happen here and sometimes unfairly. I realize the subject of both banning and deletions of discussions have already been touched on here. My question is, is this. I can't understand the principles of when a MyLotter is banned from here. There are many MyLotters who may well deserve to be banned for making continuous obnoxious, flaming, insulting remarks and attacks against another MyLotter...but many times this is just one (or two) MyLotters who have a personal vendetta type thing going an not necessarily a reflection of the person who may be banned him or herself. So yes, I would like the principles perhaps of why a person is banned especially if they are innocent and just being personally under attack. From what I understand, as this did happen to a friend of mine about a month ago--though she was latter re-instated, she,the person who was banned had no opportunity to tell "her" side of the story of what happened...that she was being maliciously attacked by a vindictive MyLotter who accused her with all sorts of lies, yet the word of the person who filed complaints against her were listened to and not questioned. Is this fair? Is there a better way the Administration and/or Moderators can investigate into the real and true story of what is going on between members, rather than just take one person's word, the word of the person reporting the other? Also, sort of on the same principle of a banning of a person are the deletions of discussions as this really is almost the same issue as both banning a member and deletion of discussions are "deletions"...one a member, the other discussions. How does MyLot determine the deletion of discussions? I've seen so many discussions that in my opinion should be deleted and have even recently reported one that I thought was in poor taste and an insult to animal lovers, yet it remains here, while seeing good quality discussions deleted even though they followed the guidelines. Sorry this is long-winded...just curious about the principles of MyLot's policies of banning of MyLotters and deletions of discussions especially when they are unjustified in both cases.

Thank you for allowing us to have an inside look into Mylot. My Question: In recent years, there have been many websites that seem to be the offsprings of the giant myspace.com (Yuwie.com and mylot.com seem to be the biggest) . While each website offers something a little different, My question is, how is MyLot really that much different then any of these other social networks that keep popping up all over the net, and besides a little payment incentive, how will MyLot keep more visitors comming back daily to this social network ?

Hello Crash. My question for you is if you start a discussion and you get a lot of responses back, will you make more money on that? If not I think that might be a good incentive to have good discussions. Thank You for your time.

Hello Crash! Nice to meet you. My question is concerning the earnings and referrals part. I was kinda thrown into the mylot thing and just went with it. I noticed that I was earning money, but what I don't know is how I earned that money or how to earn more. Do you get money for posting a discussion?, or for answering the post? How much do you earn with referrals. I've tried to find the answers to these questions but I haven't had any responses. Thanks again
