This is the worst thing I have ever seen anyone do on myLot!!!!!

I am so sorry you had to deal with that. From many other forums I would expect that kind of thing but I understand your frustration. I can't say I have experienced anything like that here.. yet. MOST of the posters I have found here are very high quality. I am sorry again but just remember, firstly why he has 368 posts with a 7 star and answered you like that, I can't say.. sometimes life is unfair but also remember that MOST of the time you will get a genuine response to anything that you post.

Lmao.. I saw that post. And I guffawed out loud. All I could think of, "Stuff like that only happens to Claire". ROFLMAO!!! You've made posts in the past to purposely see if people would read the entire content of your original post, as have other friends on here. Some things just don't change, and sadly, that is one of them. You could report them I guess, but giving a negative rating is likely the best route.

Unfortunately there are a lot of such people on MyLot like this - people who read just the title , a keyword etc and launch a copied answer or even a cut-and-paste job! And then there are others who use translators and come up with hilarious answers and people who answer completely irrelevantly! We have an amazingly funny mix of people here!

My bad experience was with one of my 1st posts.. I needed advice on a problem with my cat and people bashed me and told me to get over it. I mean, what the heck? Why even respond? Just to get money?

I have also made detailed posts before. I would relate a very adequate content of the post and I would often conclude it with the inquiry in mind. Of course, I would assume that those who would reply to that discussion would have read the whole entry that I made but, it seems that some are more concerned with the last statement I made which is the question. Then they would repond with just the question alone, with no regards with the details I have given which I would like them to contemplate on before responding their thoughts to share. Kind'a like your situation, though my respondent replied only on the question I have given on the last part of my post while yours on the very title of your discussion.

I hate it when that happens. I'm still new here, only been here 2 weeks, but it's still annoying. I have had discussions answered by fellow mylotters, that had obviously not read my entire discussion, because they posted something that wasn't even relevent to what I was discussing. Also, when you clearly state that you DO NOT want any referral links posted in your discussions, and people do it anyway. That drives me bonkers, because it takes away from not just them, but everyone who responds to the discussion. People should really read into things further before responding, but they don't, because it's just a race to them on racking on posts to make more money, and that's what is so wrong about it.

OMG I think I would have told him to go shove his words in an unmentionable place LOL there is no point in replying if you have no clue what your replying to geepers. If it was me I would have gotten his reply removed.

I went back to the discussion you referred to, and didn't see his post. It was'nt a really long post that he couldn't have read the whole thing. I can imagine how people reacted when he told you to summarize. What an idiot.

Wow that is not cool. I try to at least read the topic before i reply. Either that or I just reply to what someone said in the topic. But just saying hi.. or ok. To make money is not cool etc.

This happens to me to, sometimes I get disappointed at them but I know that I should let it go. For some of them might be here for the money indeed, some are hardly able to read and comprehend the words written in English and others are too bored to read long posts. But I wouldn't think of the third reason I have told you here, we have all the right to write no matter how long the posts is because we want to elaborate more and point out something to make our discussion lively. Now for that person, I believe I've seen him post irrelevant responses on some discussions I've been through as well. The best thing to do, report that specific post of his so mylot admin could remove it. I'm sure, he won't get paid there..

A number of members have had discussions about this in the past, putting something in the title which had nothing to do with what was in the discussion, and seeing how many people actually took time to read all of it. This is a discussion site, which (from my dictionary), means that someone takes a point of view (and they don't even have to agree with what they write), and others respond to that either positively or negatively, but to take an active part they actually have to read what is written. I think a lot of people here don't do that properly.

I would find this so annoying, I think I would probably get overly verbose in the sarcasm department. I read everything before I post. Even the other responses. I often find that my original reaction to the discussion changes as I learn more from the replys about the subject. Really what's the point of a discussion if you don't know what you're talking about or replying to? *shakes head*

Can you say lazy? And then he has the nerve to ask you to summarize it? Can you also say gall? Well at least he admitted it so you can't say liar! lol

That must frustrating killahclaire. Of course, when I post discussions that is what I expect- others to read it and respond base on how they perceived or understand the content and not just by the title itself. I think as a responsible person, this is not only responding for the sake of being paid for it, but also in giving your participation the best way you can and to express your opinion in a healthy way.

oh.. i will be pissed off he did that to me... im sorry but i have really no patience for people who are soo lazy to read like that.. how can he have reached 7 stars?

Boo, I'm sorry. Unfortunately there isn't all that much you can do about people like that. All you can do is give him that little "-" and go along. Don't let it get you too down!

I will have to do a little investigation and find out why. I could not give an answer to your discussion, I mean I do not like agreeing and saying comments like it is nice to be young, and I think if he were like me in that he could give an answer, he should have left things alone. I do not like it when those who did not think clearly on the subject are the ones that get the higher stars and I suspect it is because they do not make waves and agree with everyone except on subjects that it is politically correct to disagree on.

I m sorry Claire you had to go thru this,,but not everyone here on mylot thinks as you do,,,,there will be some good people,,,n then there r some really stupid peole who dunno how to make Goood use of such a wonderful forum as mylot. LEt him be him,,,hopefully he may get a lIFE!

I don't like people who responds to discussions without reading the whole post. I am quite fond of posting long discussions, too, and I would hate it if I read a response that is not related to what I've posted. Maybe you can just give anyone who posts irrelevantly with a negative rating.

I think it's nonsense for that guy to ask you summarise the discussion. Only the whole idea can fully express what you want to talk about. He is barbarous but fortunately not many people in myLot are like that guy.
