Are "thank you"s allowed?

Its not that its not allowed, but I think (from what I've understood) that we don't get any money for responding to comments that people leave on our topics. So in other owrds if I post this, and you reply to me on this, then u don't get anything for that post. Most people still say their "thank you's" anyhow out of respect and politness, I know I do

If you read the guidelines you will see that posting "thank you for your response" each time will not earn you any money, but you can do it if you want to. The way to increase the value of your discussion is to comment on responses, say why you like what the person has said, whether you think they have made a good point, if they made you laugh or if you disagree but you value their opinion. Commenting in this way will increase earnings from your discussions, but that does not mean you are paid for each comment you make. The guidelines make it clear the payment system is very complex and there is no way of knowing how it works.

Saying "Thank you" alone is not aloowed under the guidleines, no. But I personally do say thank you to each and every person that responds to my discussions and will continue to do so. The difference though is that I don't just say these words alone. I will acknowledge what they have said, make my own comments in regards to what they have said; and THEN say thanks. Is this site not all about engaging each other? By doing this, we have a good chance of having even further exchanges between us and the person who responded and that's what it's all about! Whether we earn for that or not is neither here nor there for me and it is all about showing gratitiude and creating further activity within my discussion. The more activity I generate, then the more exposure my discussion will get! Anyone that posts discussions and NEVER replies to anyone is not really embracing the essence of what mylot is about as far as I am concerned and they are only after quantity and not quality. The interesting reality though is that they will actually earn LESS by being this way! Quality and effort will always earn more than just playing the numbers game.

Hello snam23, As for my opinion, I do think that word to be repeatedly used is discouraged, but they didn't state that it is not allowed. They have already given us a way to thank those who respond to our discussions, that is through giving a rate. Maybe we can say thank you but we have to be detailed as to why we give our thanks to them, making our post more significant. They have us encourage to reply back those who give comments our discussion, that is to make it going. But with a simple thank you and no explanation as to why, don't give the commentators any reason to post back.

It is not that you are not allowed to say thank you to people. It is a part of politeness, especially when someone responded to your discussion. What is not allowed is the one line post, which is not paid, when you just say thanks meaninglessly. Why don't you try to say something like: "I think it is indeed a good idea. I would try that, thank you. You're really helping. Happy myLotting" not only that it would be friendlier, but I think the responder would feel more appreciated knowing that you have more positive feedback than just a line of thank you

Honestly i dont know about it, But i do always say that words before in a single line and it get deleted. I think it is about the quantity of your post. Because when i put a little effort to make my comment long atleast 3 to 5 lines and say that word in the last line of it, it doesnt deleted. And i've seen so many members here that saying that words in their comment and I think it is good to say that words as a sign of gratitude and being polite to those who take time in responding the discussion.

If you say "thank you" alone without any other remarks is of course not paid. It has to be lengthy not just a one liner comment. So, next time, when you say thank you, you should make it at least 3 sentences.

You just do not get paid for commenting on your own discussions. But you can respond and say thank you etc. That is just out of politeness and respect.

Its really not allowed if you would only be replying with "thank you", I think that is what the rules meant. Its really hard not to thank people but we have to do it to show our gratitude and that we appreciate their response. When i reply to a commen i always thank the person because it is my way of showing gratitude. But i have never replies with only a thank you in my post because i always see to it that i make posts not less than 2 lines at least. :)

"thank you's are allowed here.but we are not paid for the comments we make to the responses made by other members to our discussions.but i make it a habit to say thank you and respond to those who shared in my discussions.it's a way of appreciating them for taking the time to respond to me.

Yes, you are allowed. You don't get any money out of it but it shows that you are interested in the responses you get. Of course, if i get like 30-40 responses i don't say 'thank you' to all of them because I'm too lazy.happy mylotting

hi "thank you" in most of mylotter's posts are not for their paid response because no one here is sure of if our posts are being paid for. what i mean is no body among us is sure that our posts paid more rather than starting a discussion. the thank you here is just a way of appreciating other mylotters for starting a very interesting topic like you. be blessed

I also know that we respond to the comments will not get paid , and it is true , i know it the first time i post the respond to one of the comments. But thanks could not be disapear, we need them ,as we need others to respond to our disscussions. Thank you.
