listen mylotters.. i need to reach 500 posts.. i can not reach 500 posts fast enough, i finding it hard to find discussions i can give quick response to. i am fedup that i go start discussion and loose it due to mylot or connection and i can not copy and paste and this is becoming very annoying and wasting my time now sometimes even with responding i am loosing it this is enough to make me want to leave here to tell you the truth i think mylot is too harsh that we need 500.. i only want to copy my own words so i do not have to redo.. when i loose a discussion or response i dont retype it. i give up cos i can not be bothered i am a good mylotter.. i have over 20 best responses.. its not fair

thanks i wil get there eventually but i tend to yack too much so its happening slowly hehe. But i think being friendly and making friends here is important if you want to enjoy your stay here otherwise you would soon become bored, the friends keep us wanting to stay active here

MyLot is supposed to be fun, not stressful. Maybe you need to just relax and it will be more fun. I personally never use a copy paste system so guess I don't know an advantage to it. Everything I respond to I type out. Some may get a short quick answer, but rarely. LOL Guess I'm just a chatter box.

Why would you give up now you are nearly there. 66% of the way through it now. It is convenient to be able to copy and paste but its not that big of a deal. I respond to new discussions through out the day that is where most of my posts come from. You don't have to write paragraphs for the comments to count just a few worthwhile quality sentences for each response will give you credit. Either way good luck with whatever you chose to do.

hmm when you do nice discussion or response thats good and several times it gets deleted with mylot error or connection its bound to get frustrating.. you know other day.. i did a good discussion, i copied it and i lost it in mylot.. soo i paste to notepad and retype it all out, took a while. then i loose it AGAIN. it took up so much time, in end i gave up..

mandy karen dont give up. rules are rules and the 500 thing mylot says is because they had so many people abusing the copy and paste thing that they set this limit on it so you just have to grin and bare it. Its the same for all of us a nd if'you just keep on responding and discussing you will soon have 500 points then you can copy and pasteto your hearts content.good luck.

i know the reason but i not that type and only want it for my own discussions so i not loose my efforts.. and seems since updates there is more problems with being logged out and another error i get.. All that takes much longer to reach the goal.. i have a life too and when you have to do something 2 or 3 times here can take the fun out of it u know.. ho9pe all forgive if i respond with only few meaningless words for now

Just go through and do as much as you can at any one time. Don't try to rush it. You'll give lesser value responses and disappoint people. Just go through everyday and do all you can, working methodically and with a little patience. You'll get there before you know it.
25 Jul 08
hmm that is the problem.. i put too much into a response or anything i type here and it gets me no where cos i loose it and much time was spent.. i more need to give quicker mindless responses to reach 500 posts before i can give better responses, so i cna use the copy and paste feature..

I know it's frustrating, it seems to take forever, but it's like clock-watching, the more you watch the number besides your name, the longer it'll take to increase! Try to stop thinking about it, enjoy posting and you'll get there in no time at all. The copying and paste things is very annoying, I agree, but to be honest now that I have that ability I don't even use it that much, lol! You're already over half way there, you'll be there soon, and then probably wonder what all the fuss is about.

Well, the reason they have set up this rule, is to keep some of the people from being able to copy and paste, or otherwise Cheat in here while they are still new to this site who would otherwise abuse it if they could as well. It might not be the most fair to everyone in here, but it is the Rule that myLot has chosen to stick by as well. As for loosing discussions, etc. it does happen from time to time, and even to the best of us. I have been here for over 21 months, and I have had it happen from time to time to me as well. All I can say, is carry on, and before you know you will be at 500 as well. I am sure there are many here who would hate to see you leave, so just carry on, and Good things will happen. Wishing you the best.
27 Jul 08
wow thank you :))) i do understand the reasons why, due to the annoying ones that would abuse the copy n paste.. just feel maybe there is another way.. as someone here said, maybe via a rating system.. You know it could put people of here, or they become real fed up of loosing their work.. if can copy, it be your own fault for not copying before submit.. like we would save our work often in word.. I not leave here.. i like the people too much sometimes we all need to whine a little when fed up, and what better place to have a whine then mylot

I agree with you that it's not fair but those are the rules so don't give up and just keep working. Maybe if you found some posts that you could respond to with fairly short answers you wouldn't lose them and that would help you to reach 500 quicker. You're not really that far from it so keep posting!

i know.. but i find that difficult, as i dont do short responses.. i keep looking and finding it difficult to find now.. has it gone quiet in here?? i look my friends for discussions first and nothing much there.. i look elsewhere and go to respond and then i look and year old when first started was many i could respond to, now is much less.. its getting harder for me.. so frustrating..

I face the same thing as you too. It's very annoying for me. Sometimes it's discouraging me to keep on posting my discussions. I experienced several times after I had finished typing my discussions and about to post them,I lost all due the connection and I was log out automatically. I just fed up and did not want to continue posting back the previous discussions anymore. It's really annoyed me.
27 Jul 08
ok, so you do totally understand me.. thats how i have felt. few days my connection not been best as my server is doing upgrades i think.. so i have lost a few due to connection.. i did copy discussion to notepad because id lost it.. so i retyped it and what a hassle just to loose it a 2nd time Well you closer to the 500 posts then me lool keep posting, you soon be there

I sometimes find it difficult to find good disscustions too. A lot of disscutions and just boring or dont have any meaning at all. I try to find a disscution where I can get a few responses out of it and not be borde.
26 Jul 08
yes i know exactly what you mean.. i am at the moment finding it difficult to find a discussion i can respond to lool i really think this last bit to 500 posts will be harder then the fist few 100 posts lool

i can perfectly understand how you feel... i feel annoyed as well when that happens to me... unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do and we can only be patient until we reach the 500 posts that mylot required us to achieve before we can copy and paste... i can only wish you all the best and hopefully you will be patient and persistent enough to reach your 500th posts... once you reach that milestones, it will be much easier for you here... take care and have a nice day...

Mylot is good. It allows one to complain and whine about anything. In fact, I think it is a good way to get a discussion going,whine about something and many will whine with you.
26 Jul 08
hahahhah we are a whining bunch in mylot but no really, i did get when once again a big response got deleted as soon as i submitted it.. there is a strange mylot error, just pops up every so often..anyway no worries.. and you right you know.. whining discussions seem to do well in mylot

Awe That is frustrating and unfair. Silly rules... but I sorta agree with the rules in general. If you are really fed up you can just do a bunch of quick responses. You won't get a lot of compensation for them but you will make your 500 responses fast. Keep up the good work though! You're right; you are a good mylotter.
26 Jul 08
aww yes poor me. i suppose after another response deleted as i submitted it i was grrrrrrrr so i did this discussion.. i also do really, understand the reason but seems unfair for us all to suffer due to the waste of time spammers. well its my next goal now hahah.. and thanks for once again, nice response..

The rest of us had to wait. If you keep getting logged out, try logging off myLot completely and logging back in again. Maybe you'll get onto a different server that doesn't have that problem. I know others have had this problem for a couple of weeks now, but it has never happened to me once. I can leave the computer overnight and come back and I am still logged in.
26 Jul 08
wow lucky you, wonder how come it dont happen to you. i only have to go make a drink or be on phone, come back and logged out. i dont loose discussions due to being signed out.. it dont get deleted which is a good thing you sign back in and the discussion is there ready to submit again.. its time outs, maybe connection. also there is a strange mylot error. i dont know waht its about, but its weird, tells me to modify the text but it deletes it and is nothing wrong with it.. anyway well at least i have a goal to achieve now, to get to 500 posts
26 Jul 08
You r right ''' cant see why you cant copy and paste some clever clogs came up with this i guess Its only cents but hard earned so watch out Mylot you could lose valuable people .Keep going ;;;you will win in the end .
26 Jul 08
hehe thanks.. well it can be frustrating.. i understand the reasons why mylot have implicated it, to stop the waste of time spammers that would abuse the feature... but stil.. i do think 500 posts is a bit harsh.. well i will keep going haha
