Hey there fellow mylotters I have noticed something since Ive started here that's been bothering me. Its not to bad for the most part but there is quite a few instances I have seen. It just seems to me that some people on here just don't care what their post looks like. I mean some posts that I have seen are full of typos, weird abbreviations and typing that takes a few seconds to figure out whats being said. I guess some of it is probably people that don't know English very well.
I mean since a post cannot be edited I try to take the time to make my posts look good and legible. All it takes is a few seconds to skim back through to look for mistakes and stuff. I care more about making less posts that make sence and are legible. compared to making a bunch of crap posts in a really short amount of time. Some that I have read just seem like they want to answer as many as they can fast as possible just to get money quicker.
I am wondering if this type of thing bothers anyone else? I like mylot more for the interests and discussions. Making some extra money in my opinion just adds to the experience.

There could be a lot of reasons why people just throw anything down in their post.
1. Don't like typing
2. Doing this just for the money and want to hurry up and do as many post as they can
3. Find it better to abbreviate than actually type out the words
I'm sure their are more reasons but everyone is not here for the conversation. Some just want to rack up on their earnings.

I understand that some people are here to rack up as much as possible. Its just that some I have read are horrible. I just hate the ones that are so bad they are hard to read and and make sense of. I don't mind a few typos or bad punctuation because im bad in both of them categories LOL. I just try to make my posts the best I can to answer or start the discussion. Everyone is different and has different opinions and Thats one of the main things that I like here.

unfortunately, we can't correct those posts. i sometimes find myself correcting their grammar, spelling or even the thought because i can't understand them. it's probably true that some of them just post for the sake of earning, and we can't blame them. whatever their reasons are, we just have to let them be... we really can't do anything about it.
