Do you try to lengthen your posts because you think you will get paid more?

Your last sentence is correct according to the myLot guidelines. If you start a discussion that requires a "one" word or number response, you run the risk of getting your discussion deleted.

i can't babble, it drives me crazy. just write in short and sweet sentences.

No I just write, sometimes I write a lot because I have a lot to say. I hate the really long ones that are cut and paste a long thing they found on line.

yeah...brief, concise and direct to the point is best...

Lol....I sometimes struggle to find something to write.........

For me, I often write really long replies because, to be perfectly honest, I'm not very good at summing up what I'm trying to say in a short response. I haven't been on mylot long enough to have realized that length had anything to do with pay, although that certainly makes sense.

It is interesting now that myLot have changed the payment method as I am finding that some people put in these really long replies that have nothing at all to do with the discussion in the hope that their earnings will increase. I find it most annoying really, but they will still get paid for it unless they are reported to myLot for spamming.

It doesn't change the earning if you type more and this is coming from somebody who as been on here for a few weeks to know

Depends on the Post. Sometimes I feel I have a lot to say, and then other times a couple of words is all I need.

I just write whatever. lol

I have to shorten mine, if I find a good subject I really get into it so I have found I have to stop myself from going on...

Hi juicemilk You politly send messages to those people not to do like that.

I write whatever I feel like without trying to stretch it, although I do find I now write you, your, because instead of u,ur,cuz etc (yes I can be one of those annoying ones lol)

LOL you are so honest!! long and boring replies? LOL! well, i will try to write whatever that comes to mind, it might be more than 2 lines, it may even exceed 5 lines. im very choosy when it comes to responding to discussions.

I do not answer with one or two words as I do not think that constitutes a discussion and it is also against the guidelines. Sometimes my posts might get a bit long but I to try to make quality posts and not to repeat myself at the same time. I guess that is why I have a number of 'best responses' to discussions, because I do respond appropriately to a discussion. If I am not interested in something, then I don't bother to respond.

aint that the truth

nope i dont write long post.. readers will not read it anyways...

I write what ever comes to mind.

usually just a line or 2..just enough to add something meaningful to the discussion

I hate just putting a simple yes or no, so I try to add a little bit more to my posts. I also try not to overdo it though. I didn't realize mylot paid more for longer posts?? I do know that they get very picky about one word posts though.
