How many times have you received irrelevant responses to your discussion?

Yep I have had them and I still get them from time to time. It's because the person is just posting for the pennies. They did not take the time to even read all of the title before they posted, and don't care to either. They think they can type in anything and move on to the next discussion as fast as they can, and get paid. I report them when they do this. Why should they get paid for that? It's ANNOYING on top of it all. I hate putting work into thinking of and then writing out a really good topic, just so I can get a reply of "I like green eggs and ham". LOL

I haven't been a member here very long, but it seems that the general trend is to post something whether it relates or not. Since I didn't join mylot for the money, I tend to only respond to the discussions that are of interest to me or crosses my path of experience. Sometimes though, I tend to think that the responses are different due to cultural differences in which case I do like reading the answers. Chances are I am never going to travel half way across the world to meet some of the amazing people that I have had the pleasure of talking to and exchanging view points with and this is as close as I am ever going to get here. But like you, sometimes I read the answers (several times) and am left wondering where the answer related to the question.

It is as though they have not read the discussion all the way through and not read the responses that have been posted. They respond with a different topic that is miles away from the discussion at hand. I think that there a taking some medicine that doesnt agree with them. Have a great day from Deeeky

Lots of times but I can't expect everyone to be the same. I'm happy if people read them and think them worthy of a reply. There are a lot of other discussions I don't bother with. So if people think they should respond to mine thanks for the respect. Your reply doesn't have to come from Pluto or Einstein.

sometimes when you wrote long post to your discussion and ask many questions to reach to final question they just read the first question and give answer to that so its being irrelevant because i wasnt asking that i felt and think that people doing like that is only here to earn some money and they are giving just responses to higher their post however i dont feel so sad or bad about it sometimes also people can miss the subject thats not a problem for me

the first thing about this is they do not read the discussiopn detalis all the way throung.....they just read the main topic and starts the discussion they do not even read the posts given by someone else!!!!! and this thing makes us think that have we discussed anything about the the toipc they are discussing??? and this thing shows that people are not trying to discuss anything but just to paste their posts in order to earn money???

in reverce, im only a member of this site so i wouldnt know, what other sites are like. As far as mylot goes, yes sure there are those who stray off topic but maybe that is simply because the mood takes them. OK i have had a few who do just give illegitimate responses, but not manyb and most of them are under 100 responses and testing the site out to see how few cents they can earn in a day, lol. Blessed be

I get irrelevant responses pretty regularly. I think it's just from people who are eager to make money and have nothing really important to say. If I have nothing to say on a particular topic, I won't answer the discussion. This seems like such an obvious thing to me, I don't know why everyone doesn't do it. If I get a completely irrelevant response I usually mark them with a "-". Sometimes I will even comment and say something like, "What were you smoking when you wrote this?"

Yea. Many times. Usually such responses are given by newer members. I feel pretty calm about it. Nothing wrong with such responses but I would appreciate responses with more sincerity and thought put into it. Some people do not read the discussion properly or they only read the title. I guess this is why their discussion may be off-topic. There are people from all over the world in mylot. Different people from different parts of the world may have different interpretations for a certain subject.

I think you answered your own question. People at forums that are not paid do seem to stay more on topic, but you'll always find a few that have their own agendas and want everyone to know what that is. But at sites that do pay for socializing and being involved in the community, there will always be some who respond to every topic even when they have nothing to contribute.

I infact never recieved irrelevant response .....so cant say more on this ..... Thanku Ganesh

well there are some responses that just passes over my head......well may b they just take the question according to them...aur what...but i usually comment to that response which is more liking to me....

I understand your situation, as a former web master and forum administrator, I usually stumble upon off-topic responses to certain topics. However, if that does happen on any of my forums, I either delete the post or encourage the user to make a new topic pertaining to what they were talking about. Well, if you're asking if anyone has ever posted irrelevant information in my discussion topics limited to only myLot, I can't really answer that question seeing as I haven't started a discussion topic myself. I have posted my share or irrelevant posts from time to time, but I try to avoid doing so. Sometimes, other individuals may think that my post doesn't relate to the topic at all, but not in my head. Maybe the reason why you're only seeing things like that in Pay-Per-Post sites is that the more you post, the more money you get credited into your account. So people will find numerous ways to increase their post count and earnings by posting as much as they possibly can on threads. Your last few sentences actually make me laugh a bit. I have seen that many times . People come into a thread and the members who are participating in the thread ask, "Did you even read what the guy said?" It's funny seeing those.
