Can YOU Please STOP Starting NEW DISCUSSIONS !!!

Just turn the notification off. If you have a lot of friends then rotate them so nobody blows your inbox up.

i know what you mean, i see that sometimes, but i dont' know much, i just started her two weeks ago...if the discussions they post get no response i don't think they get participation credit for it, and anyway ,when people see that this person has posted a ton of discussions, they will think the person doesn't care what they have to say and they just won't post on that discussion

hi I feel that you may be right to some extent. I also feel that people who have more ideas or can come up with interesting topics can start a discussion any time. No matter how many discussions.. I find it difficult to start a new discussions because I cannot come up with new ideas or does not have any interesting topics to share. But, if people starts something interesting, why stop them, unless they are worthless. Take care...

There are those here that have been here a long time and they have high numbers in posting. I don't think that I have started 32 discussions, it might be less that that. I have spent most of my time here commenting to discussion. When I have start a discussion the most in comments from them I have received is 7 so that tells me my topics are not that interesting to others. If the person is here for what ever reasons we are not the ones to judge them for what they have too say. That is just how I feel. Others may feel different about the subject though. Have a good one.

Maybe they thought that starting discussions makes them earn more. I am not really familiar with the earning scheme here in mylot but I myself don't start that much discussions but I do respond to those that interest me. I prefer responding here than wasting my time chatting and talking to not so sensible people. At least I am exercising my brain and honing my communication ability.

If that person is one who love to post discussion then leave him be. There are alot of MYLOTTERS included myself who will be here for days and only respond to discussions. I don't see a problem with he/she posting. The problem is that when you wrote a discussion and no one post a response that is what I see is a problem. This is a contributing site and it is really disheartened when you post a discussion and no one answer but yet you have alot of points beside you name which you gain by answering others.

I might not be understanding the situation. I guess my thought is if everyone just posted responses it would soon be there wouldn't be enough to respond to. I have days where I feel like posting more then responding or vise versa I don't even know where to look as to how many I have posted or responded to. I don't really pay attention to how many one person posts because I only respond to those that catch my eye. I do like to look at topics not responded to from time to time and go to the end of the list so I can catch those that have been sitting there that I like. I guess I just don't see what the problem is if someone wants to post more then respond. I know I have days where I read far more then I post cause I get caught up in what everyone is saying. I think we all contribute to mylot one way or another and maybe those that only post topics have a hard time expressing their feelings to topics others started.

The best thing about mylot is that we have the choice if we want to response or start discussions more... some people are comfortable with the latter... which is an advantage for those members like me who prefer to respond... I have been here more than one year now... and i have only started around 251 discussions... so that is like only a fraction on the number of posts that i made... If a certain member in my friends list starte like 10 discussions at a time... i surely won't respond to all of them... just those that i can relate to...

I think there is nothing to be upset or annoyed about someone starting more discussions that him responding to one unless his discussions are nonsense and one-liners. Those users are just here obviously for the money. I can't say I know how you feel cos I haven't encountered one yet but don't pay it any attention. Let him be if that's what he wants. I only answer to discussions I feel interested in and I can contribute something to. So, if his discussions are interesting then I might but if it's those one-liners asking what my favorite color is then he'll get no response for me, well unless I also feel like responding in one-liners.

I have noticed that my number does not change when I respond to my own discussions. So I would assume that their number does not change either. If it did, then my number would be up into the tens of thousands by now. They may be keeping up with their discussions, anyway. Some people are multi-taskers and really good about doing multiple jobs online. It just depends on the person.

mtsandeep he may have 370 discussions but if he has not more than 500 points then his discussions are not paying him or her very well so they must be darned short discussions. I myself am closing in on 8000 points and maybe a hundred if that many discussions as I try to make both responses and discussions a bit longer than just a sentence or so.I could not respond to' all of his discussions. and I doubt very much if he is making all that much money.

I don't know why you are so angry with that person posts? If you don't like it, don't reply to it. If you don't like it, don't read it. It is their right to post as much as they want. If you think it is not a good thing, just let it be, they will understand it later or maybe it is what they like. And if that person is here just for the money, are they wrong? Don't they have the right to make money in mylot? If you don't want to make money, why are you in mylot? Why don't you just join other forum that don't pay you at all? If you join other forum that don't pay anything, you will not see those person who posts so many to make more money. It is done, right?

why stop? do u stop starting new discussion?

If the mylotter isn't repeating discussions then I think it's just fine. I don't think anyone here signed up just for the fun of it. Initially, all of us became a member to make some type of profit. If his discussions are horrible then I would say rate him badly and contact mylot admin.

If you don't have the notifications on, then why is it bothering you? Mylot is for writing discussions, answering discussions, making friends, etc. I don't see how the discussions are irritating you unless they are all 1 sentence discussions, and in that case they won't be here long anyway, because those discussions do not make much money anyway! I had a discussion a while back on getting rid of the discussions that have been here 1 - 3 years and everyone said to leave them, so don't worry about the space, it is for the mods to deal with. Have a great day!

As long as it is within the guidelines of mylot, we can't say it is wrong. And also there are many people here, including my friends who have hardly started discussions. One friend of mine has to her credit around 5600 posts, but had started only 15 discussions so far. Has not she earned? If she is not earning then why is she here? So perhaps the wrong interpretation by the friend you are pointing here, that starting discussions alone will earn money in mylot ...and this made her to start more topics. If every one goes on starting discussions then there will be no one to respond.. and every topic will be under one heading unresolved discussions. Take care friend.

I don't think that is good for MyLot but that isn't good for hs earnings either, last time I checked, the technique of making 30 discussions a day and 5 responses isn't working. best is to try to have a 1.0 ratio between the responses and the discussions. I don't think there is something to worry about on Mylot's behalf, most people respond to a lot of discussions

I guess each person has a way of doing things here on my lot . Wow that does seem like a lot of discussions he has started. I wonder how long it took him to do each one, and I wonder if they are simple or just the kind that ask do you like this , or that more . I myself have only started a handful , because I would get too confused with all those . I like to respond back too to the ones I started . You could always delete this person from your friend list if you want .

I think it is his right.. It's his choice to do so.. And I don't think he's the only one who's here for money. I think 70 % of mylotters are subscribed to earn a bit extra when they're bored. I know this can be overflooding and I understand your frustations, but as long as the mylot admins don't mind, I guess I don't mind either and there's few we could do about it I think. Greetz.

Im pretty new to mylot? And that seems alittle crazy! I have already started like 6 or so discussions, I enjoy it! I do respond to most people bc I want to hear what others have to say thats why I started it :-) Isnt it though if no one responds they dont get the credit for stating a discussion? Maybe you should start boycotting them!
