Don't you wish there was a way to block some myloters from your discussions? Granted, they do make you extra money by responding to your discussion. However, a few days ago I made up my mind I was not going to respond to people who call names and are disrespectful. They can disagree with me, fine, but the nastiness is off limits. So they are wasting their time and making me money. And all too many are lying about this or that. Some are downright evil. There are people here that are afraid to express their feelings because of people like that.

i am just lucky that i still have to encounter people like that in my discussion (as if i have so many discussions made) but i am not wishing either. but if time would come that they gonna drop by in one of my discussion then i would be happy, as you said you earn from them. on the other hand, i have a principle that as long as my happiness doesn't depend on them then who cares. they can do whatever they want but there's no way they can touch and harm me this far. they won't get any reply from me, simple as that. anyway, that is just me.!

I don't mind reading other people's posts if they do show respect towards others. I hate to read postings which are disrespectful to others. I always express my feelings no matter who reads it. everybody has a right of free speech. It does not affect me that much © ronaldinu 2008

Rudenes is a part of everyday life really.
In the world outside of the internet we come across these as well.
Is there a way to block them? No they will always be around.
Blocking them from a members discussion just has them travel elsewhere.
I have not really had any rude comments in my discussions.
Maybe a bit nasty and cruel but not rude.
I just laugh it off and continue.
I don't feel a need really for a block feature.
One can always get a new account and continue if one blocks them.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

That's a great idea, some users here are too rude when they respond to other users discussion. They just respond without thinking that they could hurt feelings and mislead other users. You're right there are users here who just think of a discussion, pretend that it happens to them, but in the reality, it's not. Only the responses are what they cared for, they lied or cheat or hurt other users and they earned from it....Take Care!

Some people are disrespectful, and you just really have to deal with it and ignore it, like you would in reality. Everyone has there own opinions, and even if they do say something mean and earn money by replying to your discussions, who cares, you are also getting money for it.

Did they change something on here? Since when do people responding to your discussions help make YOU (the discussion starter) money?
Sorry I know it's off topic but I'm really curious to know the answer. I just returned to mylot from a year long break so I don't have a clue what's changed on here.

Go to the rules section. Responses to my discussions help me make money. Someone just confirmed it to me the other day. I did not look at the rules but she did.

Well dear, I guess I am really fortunate. I have been on Mylot for a long time and so far I only got one nasty response. It is best to either ignore them or to report them to admin if they are abusive. You can also rate their comments negatively. I like the forum the way it is unlike other forums where you can restrict paople. There are evil people everywhere. That is just a fact of life.

Several of us, myself included, have been sayign for months that a Block feature would be ideal here at the Lot....I could care less if ppl disagree with me but stalking me, disrespecting me, harrassing me I dont take kindly to and I can and will get quite nasty if provoked...

Maybe Mylot will consider this feature in the future. We could use it.

Well, I've only encountered around 3 people who are like that in my 5 months of stay here at myLot. Well, we really can't block them for this mylot is free for all! But I can't blame you if you feel bad about those trolls around. Maybe the best way is to ignore them and let them feel they are not welcome in your discussions. There is no use to get so affected with their nastiness. I think the best way to enjoy myLot is to disregard rude people around. Consider them as unwelcome intruders in a party who were not given attention by the host. You can do that by not giving any comment on what they wrote. I mean don't let the nastiness of people around affect you that much. Just look around and enjoy the good folks rather. Disregard the bad eggs! They will just spoil your day.

I ignore them. There are enough people here who know how to disagree nicely.

Well, i have yet to face people like that. but yes i do agree with you as one cannot see the other person in this discussion forum it is very important to maintain the dignity and respect about a particular discussion. If someone is not agrred to something then tell politely and in a manner which should not hurt the other person. Since everything is online and we all consider each other friend we should maintain our dignity by putting it across in proper words.
take care

It is very difficult to see posters that will call someone names or be disrespectful. I do not like it and I do wish there was a way to block them. When I see such arguments ensuing, I try to stay away from the thread all together. I do not want my ratings disturbed by someone who does not know how to control themselves.

My ratings have been disturbed quite a bit just because people are nasty.

Respect is key for me if you want to be apart of my discussions. There is never a time someone should call someone else names or use profanity, This is a site that benefits everyone. If they can't follow the rules they should be band from the site. I do not tolerate disrespect.
Very well said.

Personally, sometimes this is getting a little crazy for sure. I am not sure what is the Best way to deal with all of this, but sometimes it would be nice to have a Block feature on here. Most of the other Social Networking type sites have ways that people cannot contact you, etc. and I have always thought it would be Good to have it here as well. We should not have to worry about what we post in here as in getting some form of retaliation in here as well.

Yes, I admit there are. A couple of months ago especially when I was taking some heat over what I'm not sure. But I can think of a few people on here who have discussions I try to avoid. It really doesn't matter what I could post to their discussion, they would rather me not. And for self-preservations sake, I'd rather them not give their own two cents in some of my discussions. It doesn't have to be anything controversial (the discussions), they can turn it into a fight fest.

It makes you think they just don't like you...in my case, I would say so. And it is OK....

seems like nowadays there is always somebody like that no matter if it's on mylot or in real life. all i can figure out the reason they do that they are just mean or so unhappy & miserable they want everybody to be in the same boat.

I have never myself had someone leave rude or nasty replies on a discussion but just yesterday as I was browsing discussions I saw the same mylotter being offensive and rude on multiple discussions. I felt so bad for these people tha the was spreading his nastiness around. I think mylot is a fun place to connect with others and a hobby I enjoy. I don't like seeing people being treated unkindly, it takes the fun right out of it.

It is true. If you look at all the subject they participate in, you will see they carry that same attitude wherever they go.

I am downright evil when responding. LOL. Heehee. Yeah, but granted that they do respond like that, I can live with it. This is an online community and I get stuffs like this most of the time. Heehee. Well, I wish there was something like this but it's likely that I'll be the one banned from responding. heehee. Have a nice day.

I'm a new member who is trying to find her way around this site. I've only been active a few weeks but woe is me, have yet to find out the way to begin a discussion.Can anyone help me? Hate to admit it but this is my first site and I'm having difficulties in sorting everything out. I would never be rude to anyone and would not respond if anyone was rude to me. Let it go and get on with life. Don't let anyone become so important that they have the ability to spoil your day. Lots of good wishes to you!

Absolutely, I don't give anyone that kind of power over my life. As for starting a discussion, choose a subject you know or have questions about. Before you know it, you will be doing discussions all the time.
