Does it annoy you when MyLotters send out friend request....

myLot is not like other social networking sites. You don't have to chit chat with each others, 'hit' their page, send comments, etc. myLot is about an open forum where people discuss pretty much any- and everything that comes to mind. You don't have to be real chummy with a person to participate in one of their discussions, nor do they need to know your life history in order to participate in yours. The whole point of adding lots of friends in myLot is to get your discussions seen, so that people will respond (which is what makes you money!). The more friends you have, the more exposure you get. A lot of people answer discussions only from their friends when they get an email that says they started one. If you have few friends and people don't happen to stumble upon your discussion while weeding through their interests, your discussion will likely not receive many (if any) responses.

As far as friend request here at MYlot, I don't think it is someone wants to be your buddy, it is that they have responed to your discussion and think you make good ones, so adding you to their friends list is so when you make another one, they will get an email notice that you have posted a new discussion. Some have made friends on here they have been here a long time. I have a few that I watch for their posts and do theirs first.Means they usually post something that interst me. It is up to you who you add as friends but you get a lot more discussions from your friends list I think. And while you are taking them from the friends list I feel that by passes the ones that I feel post things that I wouldn't touch. Like the ones who seem to want to post their love life on here. Does not interest me. So you will have to decide if you want to add friends and which ones you add. Some how I don't see where have 20 pages of friends gets me any where, so I pick and choose out of the ones that I reply to the most, or the ones that respond to my posts.

I just started being active in mylot after joining almost a year ago. Things came up and I really never had any time to devote it until now. This is the second discussion I have found about people being annoyed about friend requests and I find it sort of sad. In my view a friend request is an invitation to let's get know each other. I's not some kind of long time commitment or proposal! Also, what I have learned so far is that you need friends for your discussions to have more exposure. So if anyone wants to be my friend don't hesitate to make a request.

i have had that alot, i had 1 out of nowhere and the otheres we had a really good discussion and it went on from there. now i get notifications of cool p2c sites and stuff from them.

I have some friends here and if there are some requests, I just add them. I am not too particular with that, if he wants me to be his friend, that is ok for me. I also send some request, but I don't know that it's annoying to some...

Hello Erratic, I dont mind if they have responded to at least one of my discussions or I responded to one of theirs, but a friend request out of nowhere just doesnt seem right. If you want to be a friend, then loin in on a discussion or two. Dont just try to sit on my friends list doing nothing. Yours truly, Tianna!
